FAQs
Do You Offer Warranties on Parts and Labor?
Absolutely, we offer warranties for both parts and labor. We outline warranty duration by component: the majority of OEM and premium aftermarket parts carry 24-36 months of coverage, while wear items differ. Labor is usually covered for 12-24 months, matching parts as appropriate. We document transferability terms-the majority of coverage remain with the vehicle, not the owner, unless otherwise noted. We'll provide written coverage details on your invoice. Please ask us to specify your repair's specific warranty details before proceeding with the work.
Am I Able to Stay On-Site While Being Serviced?
Yes, you can typically wait on-site during your service, subject to our facility's capacity and guidelines. We emphasize customer comfort with comfortable waiting areas, internet access, and beverages. For basic services like oil changes, inspections, tire rotations, you'll typically wait 30-90 minutes. For extensive services or detailed diagnostics, we advise leaving your vehicle to maintain accuracy and safety. Please make an appointment, note any time constraints, and we'll verify wait options when booking and upon check‑in to align expectations.
