Most Asked Questions
Do You Offer Warranties on Parts and Labor?
Yes, we offer warranties covering both parts and labor. We outline warranty coverage by component: most OEM and premium aftermarket parts come with 24-36 months of coverage, while wear items may vary. Labor generally comes covered for 12-24 months, corresponding to parts when applicable. We detail transferability terms-the majority of coverage remain with the vehicle, not the owner, unless specified differently. We'll provide written coverage details on your invoice. Don't hesitate to ask us to specify your repair's specific warranty details before approving service.
Is It Possible to Wait On-Site During Service?
Yes, you are welcome to typically wait on-site during your service, based on our facility's capacity and guidelines. We emphasize customer comfort with comfortable waiting areas, internet access, and beverages. For routine maintenance like basic repairs, inspections, and tire services, you'll typically wait half an hour to an hour and a half. For diagnostics or major repairs, we recommend leaving your vehicle to ensure accuracy and safety. Please make an appointment, mention any time constraints, and we'll confirm wait options at booking and check-in to meet your scheduling needs.
Are Shuttle or Loaner Vehicles Available?
Yes. Imagine leaving your car for service while having transportation ready. We offer shuttle service and customer pickup within our service zone for most appointments. When repairs take more time, loaner cars are available; make sure to reserve early as loaner vehicles are limited. Provide your license and insurance, arrive on time, and confirm duration. We'll manage vehicle exchanges to ensure your convenience throughout service.
What Are Our Available Payment Methods and Financing Options?
We take all major payment methods including cards, cash, and checks. We also provide flexible financing solutions for easier payment management. Getting started is easy - you'll complete a quick application, receive a fast decision, and select flexible terms with transparent APRs and zero prepayment penalties. We offer split payment options and email your receipt right away. Request estimate pre-authorization to streamline your payment.
Do You Offer OEM Parts If Requested?
Yes, you're welcome to specify OEM parts. We'll check OEM options for your vehicle by VIN number and share pricing and delivery estimates. If factory parts are delayed or exceed budget, we'll review premium aftermarket options that match or surpass OE specifications. The decision is yours. We thoroughly record component information, warranties, and installation schedules up front, and we'll wait for your go-ahead.
