Frequently Asked Questions
Are Parts and Labor Covered by Warranty?
Indeed, we offer warranties that cover both parts and labor. We specify warranty coverage by component: most OEM and premium aftermarket parts come with 24-36 months of coverage, while wear items differ. Labor is usually covered for 12-24 months, aligning with parts as appropriate. We outline transferability terms-the majority of coverage transfer with the vehicle, not the owner, unless stated otherwise. You'll get written coverage details with your invoice. Please ask us to specify your repair's specific terms before approving any repairs.
Is It Possible to Wait On-Site During Service?
Indeed, you may usually wait on-site during your service, based on available space and shop rules. We emphasize customer comfort with clean seating, Wi‑Fi, and refreshments. For quick services like oil changes, inspections, tire rotations, you'll usually wait 30-90 minutes. For extensive services or detailed diagnostics, we recommend drop‑off to maintain accuracy and safety. Please book in advance, note any time constraints, and we'll verify wait options during scheduling and arrival to meet your scheduling needs.
Are Shuttle or Loaner Vehicles Available?
Absolutely. Picture stepping out to a waiting ride as your vehicle gets expert care. Our shuttle service and pickup options are available within our service zone for most appointments.
