FAQs
Are Parts and Labor Covered by Warranty?
Absolutely, we offer warranties for both parts and labor. We specify warranty duration by component: many OEM and premium aftermarket parts come with 24-36 months of protection, while wear items differ. Labor is typically covered for 12-24 months, aligning with parts when applicable. We outline transferability terms-most warranties transfer with the vehicle, not the owner, unless otherwise noted. You'll receive written coverage details on your invoice. Please ask us to quote your repair's exact terms before proceeding with the work.
Can I Remain On-Site While My Service Is Being Performed?
Absolutely, you may typically wait on-site during your service, subject to available space and shop rules. We prioritize customer comfort with comfortable waiting areas, internet access, and beverages. For quick services like basic repairs, inspections, and tire services, you'll generally wait half an hour to an hour and a half. For complex repairs or diagnostic work, we suggest leaving your vehicle to guarantee accuracy and safety. Please book in advance, note any time constraints, and we'll verify wait options at booking and check-in to ensure clarity.
Do You Provide Transportation or Temporary Vehicles?
Absolutely. Imagine leaving your car for service while having transportation ready. We provide transportation services including shuttle and pickup within our service zone for most appointments. Extended service times may qualify for a temporary vehicle; please book in advance due to limited availability. 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 take all major payment methods including cards, cash, and checks. Additionally, we feature in-house and third-party financing options for easier payment management.

We offer split payment options and send digital receipts immediately. Inquire about pre-approving your estimate for a smoother payment process.
Can You Get OEM Parts When Needed?
Indeed, you're welcome to specify OEM parts. We'll check OEM options for your vehicle using your VIN and give you pricing details and lead times. When OEM components are unavailable or cost-prohibitive, we'll present quality aftermarket substitutes that match or surpass OE specifications. You select the preferred option.
