FAQs
Do You Offer Warranties on Parts and Labor?
Indeed, you receive warranties for both parts and labor. We specify warranty duration by component: many OEM and premium aftermarket parts carry 24-36 months of coverage, while wear items have different terms. Labor is usually covered for a period of 12-24 months, corresponding to parts as appropriate. We outline transferability terms-most protection plans transfer with the vehicle, not the owner, unless specified differently. You'll receive written coverage details in your invoice. Don't hesitate to ask us to specify your repair's exact coverage terms before proceeding with the work.
Is It Possible to Wait On-Site During Service?
Absolutely, you are welcome to typically wait on-site during your service, depending on available space and shop rules. We focus on customer comfort with well-maintained facilities, wireless internet, and complimentary drinks. For quick services like oil changes, inspections, tire rotations, you'll generally wait half an hour to an hour and a half. For diagnostics or major repairs, we suggest leaving your vehicle to maintain accuracy and safety. Please make an appointment, note any time constraints, and we'll discuss wait options at booking and check-in to meet your scheduling needs.
Do You Provide Transportation or Temporary Vehicles?
Indeed. Think about the convenience of having a ride while we service your vehicle. Our shuttle service and pickup options are available within our service zone for most appointments.
