Frequently Asked Questions
Are Parts and Labor Covered by Warranty?
Absolutely, you receive warranties for both parts and labor. We specify warranty duration by component: the majority of OEM and premium aftermarket parts come with 24-36 months of coverage, while wear items differ. Labor is typically covered for a period of 12-24 months, matching parts when applicable. We detail transferability terms-most warranties stay with the vehicle, not the owner, unless otherwise noted. You'll receive written coverage details with your invoice. Please ask us to quote your repair's precise coverage terms before authorizing the work.
Can I Remain On-Site While My Service Is Being Performed?
Yes, you are welcome to typically wait on-site during your service, depending on shop policies and bay availability. We focus on customer comfort with well-maintained facilities, wireless internet, and complimentary drinks. For basic services like oil changes, inspections, tire rotations, you'll usually wait 30-90 minutes. For extensive services or detailed diagnostics, we advise leaving your vehicle to guarantee accuracy and safety. Please book in advance, note any time constraints, and we'll discuss wait options at booking and check-in to meet your scheduling needs.
Are Shuttle or Loaner Vehicles Available?
Indeed. Think about the convenience of having a ride while we service your vehicle. We offer shuttle service and customer pickup within a defined radius for most appointments. When repairs take more time, loaner cars are available; make sure to reserve early as loaner vehicles are limited. Bring required documentation, be punctual, and verify service length. We'll handle all transportation logistics to minimize disruption to your schedule.
Which Payment Methods and Financing Options Are Available?
We accept all major payment methods including cards, cash, and checks. We also provide flexible financing solutions for easier payment management. The process is straightforward - you'll complete a quick application, receive a fast decision, and select flexible terms featuring clear rates and no early payment fees. We can divide your invoice across multiple payment methods and send digital receipts immediately. Ask about pre-authorizing your estimate to streamline your payment.
Are Original Manufacturer Parts Available?
Yes, you're welcome to specify OEM parts. We'll verify OEM inventory for your vehicle through your vehicle's VIN and give you pricing and delivery estimates. If factory parts are delayed or exceed budget, we'll present quality aftermarket substitutes that meet or exceed OE specifications. You make the final choice.
