Questions and Answers
Do You Offer Warranties on Parts and Labor?
Yes, you receive warranties that cover both parts and labor. We specify warranty coverage by component: the majority of OEM and premium aftermarket parts include 24-36 months of protection, while wear items may vary. Labor is typically covered within 12-24 months, corresponding to parts as appropriate. We detail 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. Don't hesitate to ask us to specify your repair's specific warranty details before approving the work.
Am I Able to Stay On-Site While Being Serviced?
Absolutely, you may generally wait on-site during your service, depending on shop policies and bay availability. We prioritize customer comfort with clean seating, Wi‑Fi, and refreshments. For quick services like oil changes, inspections, tire rotations, you'll usually wait half an hour to an hour and a half. For complex repairs or diagnostic work, we suggest drop‑off to guarantee accuracy and safety. Please schedule ahead, note any time constraints, and we'll discuss wait options when booking and upon check‑in to align expectations.
