Questions and Answers
What Kind of Warranty Coverage Do You Provide?
Indeed, we provide warranties for both parts and labor. We specify warranty duration by component: most OEM and premium aftermarket parts include 24-36 months of protection, while wear items have different terms. Labor is usually covered for a period of 12-24 months, aligning with parts when applicable. We document transferability terms-most protection plans remain with the vehicle, not the owner, unless specified differently. We'll provide written coverage details in your invoice. Feel free to ask us to specify your repair's precise terms before approving any repairs.
Can I Wait On-Site During My Service?
Absolutely, you can usually wait on-site during your service, based on available space and shop rules. We prioritize customer comfort with well-maintained facilities, wireless internet, and complimentary drinks. For basic services like basic repairs, inspections, and tire services, you'll generally wait 30-90 minutes. For complex repairs or diagnostic work, we suggest drop‑off to maintain accuracy and safety. Please make an appointment, mention any time constraints, and we'll discuss wait options during scheduling and arrival to ensure clarity.
Do You Provide Transportation or Temporary Vehicles?
Absolutely. Imagine leaving your car for service while having transportation ready. Our shuttle service and pickup options are available within our service zone for most appointments. For longer repairs, you can request a loaner vehicle; please book in advance due to limited availability. Bring required documentation, be punctual, and verify service length. We'll manage vehicle exchanges to ensure your convenience throughout service.
Which Payment Methods and Financing Options Are Available?
We accept all major payment methods including cards, cash, and checks. Additionally, we feature flexible financing solutions to help manage repair costs over time. It's a simple process - simply fill out a brief application for quick approval and choose your preferred terms with straightforward interest rates and no penalties for early payoff. You can use multiple payment methods and send digital receipts immediately. Inquire about pre-approving your estimate to streamline your payment.
Do You Offer OEM Parts If Requested?
Indeed, you're welcome to specify OEM parts. We'll confirm OEM availability for your vehicle through your vehicle's VIN and give you cost information and timelines. If OEM parts are backordered or too expensive, we'll discuss quality aftermarket substitutes that satisfy or better OE specifications. You select the preferred option. We carefully detail component information, warranties, and fitting timelines prior to work, and we won't proceed without your approval. Just let us know to mark "OEM only" on your service document if that's your preference.
