Full-Service Testing and Repair Services
Prior to starting repairs, we conduct detailed diagnostics to identify the problem fast and resolve it properly the first time. You receive a detailed plan based on diagnostic information, not speculation. We use advanced scanning tools for engine analysis, validate fault codes with current sensor readings, and execute smoke tests to identify vacuum and EVAP leaks. We comprehensively test all major vehicle systems to determine source problems.
We also protect long-term performance with a comprehensive drivetrain assessment. We evaluate transmission function, fluid condition, clutch or torque converter operation, transfer case function, differential backlash, and axle seal condition. We perform road tests to verify shifting performance, vibration, and noise issues. Then we discuss your options, prioritize safety and value, and execute repairs using OEM-specified parts and proven repair procedures.

Questions and Answers
What's Your Warranty Policy for Parts and Labor?
Indeed, we provide warranties that cover both parts and labor. We specify warranty duration by component: the majority of OEM and premium aftermarket parts carry 24-36 months of protection, while wear items differ. Labor is typically covered for 12-24 months, matching parts when applicable. We outline transferability terms-the majority of coverage remain with the vehicle, not the owner, unless specified differently. You'll receive written coverage details on your invoice. Please ask us to specify your repair's exact coverage terms before approving service.
Can I Wait On-Site During My Service?
Indeed, you can typically wait on-site during your service, depending on shop policies and bay availability. We prioritize customer comfort with well-maintained facilities, wireless internet, and complimentary drinks. For quick services like basic repairs, inspections, and tire services, you'll typically wait between 30 and 90 minutes. For diagnostics or major repairs, we recommend dropping off your car to ensure accuracy and safety. Please book in advance, inform us of any time constraints, and we'll verify wait options during scheduling and arrival to align expectations.
Do You Offer Shuttle or Loaner Vehicles?
Absolutely. Picture stepping out to a waiting ride as your vehicle gets expert care. We provide transportation services including shuttle and pickup within our service zone for most appointments. Extended service times may qualify for a temporary vehicle; availability is limited, so follow our reservation policy to secure one. Bring required documentation, be punctual, and verify service length. We'll coordinate drop-off, pickup, or loaner return to keep your day moving.
What Are Our Available Payment Methods and Financing Options?
You can pay with all major payment methods including cards, cash, and checks. We also offer in-house and third-party financing options to spread your payments over time. Getting started is easy - simply fill out a brief application for quick approval and choose your preferred terms with transparent APRs and zero prepayment penalties. We offer split payment options and provide instant email receipts. Ask about pre-authorizing your estimate to streamline your payment.
Do You Offer OEM Parts If Requested?
Yes, we accept requests for OEM parts. We'll verify OEM inventory for your vehicle through your vehicle's VIN and give you pricing details and lead times. 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 thoroughly record component information, warranties, and fitting timelines up front, and we won't proceed without your approval. Just let us know to indicate "OEM only" on your work order if you prefer that option.
