Questions people ask at the counter.
Anything else, call — the person who answers can actually tell you.
Do you work on my make?
Almost certainly. We service domestic, Asian and European cars, light trucks and hybrids. We don't do motorcycles or heavy diesel.
Will servicing here void my factory warranty?
No. Federal law lets you have maintenance done anywhere. We use parts that meet factory spec and keep a record you can show the dealer.
What does a diagnosis cost?
A check-engine scan and road test is $89. If you go ahead with the repair here, we take that off the bill.
How long will my car be here?
Most maintenance is done while you wait or by lunch. Bigger repairs depend on parts — we'll give you a time when we call with the price.
What if the problem comes back?
Our repairs carry a 24-month / 24,000-mile parts and labor warranty. Bring it back and we make it right.
