Frequently Asked Questions
What Kind of Warranty Coverage Do You Provide?
Indeed, you receive warranties covering both parts and labor. We outline warranty terms by component: the majority of OEM and premium aftermarket parts carry 24-36 months warranty, while wear items may vary. Labor is usually covered within 12-24 months, aligning with parts as appropriate. We outline transferability terms-most protection plans transfer with the vehicle, not the owner, unless stated otherwise. You'll receive written coverage details on your invoice. Please ask us to quote your repair's specific terms before authorizing service.
Can I Wait On-Site During My Service?
Yes, you can typically wait on-site during your service, subject to available space and shop rules. We emphasize customer comfort with comfortable waiting areas, internet access, and beverages. For routine maintenance like basic repairs, inspections, and tire services, you'll generally wait half an hour to an hour and a half. For diagnostics or major repairs, we advise leaving your vehicle to maintain accuracy and safety. Please book in advance, mention any time constraints, and we'll discuss wait options at booking and check-in to ensure clarity.
Are Shuttle or Loaner Vehicles Available?
Yes. Think about the convenience of having a ride while we service your vehicle. Our shuttle service and pickup options are available within our service zone for most appointments. Extended service times may qualify for a temporary vehicle; please book in advance due to limited availability. Provide your license and insurance, arrive on time, and confirm duration.

We accept all major payment methods including cards, cash, and checks. We also provide multiple financing choices for easier payment management. The process is straightforward - simply fill out a brief application for quick approval and choose your preferred terms featuring clear rates and no early payment fees.

Can You Get OEM Parts When Needed?
Absolutely, you can request OEM parts. We'll confirm OEM options for your vehicle through your vehicle's VIN and share pricing and delivery estimates. When OEM components are unavailable or cost-prohibitive, we'll review premium aftermarket options that match or surpass OE specifications. The decision is yours.
