Frequently Asked Questions
What Kind of Warranty Coverage Do You Provide?
Indeed, we offer warranties for 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 usually covered for a period of 12-24 months, corresponding to parts as appropriate. We outline transferability terms-most protection plans stay with the vehicle, not the owner, unless specified differently. You'll receive written coverage details on your invoice. Please ask us to quote your repair's exact coverage terms before authorizing the work.
Can I Wait On-Site During My Service?
Indeed, you can usually wait on-site during your service, subject to shop policies and bay availability. We emphasize customer comfort with clean seating, Wi‑Fi, and refreshments. For basic services like oil changes, inspections, tire rotations, you'll usually wait 30-90 minutes. For diagnostics or major repairs, we advise leaving your vehicle to ensure accuracy and safety.
