Full-Service Diagnostics and Repair Services
Prior to starting repairs, we perform thorough diagnostics to pinpoint the problem quickly and address it accurately the first time. You obtain a detailed plan derived from actual readings, not guesswork. We employ advanced scanning tools for engine analysis, validate fault codes with live sensor readings, and execute smoke tests to detect vacuum and EVAP leaks. We carefully examine the charging, starting, ignition, fuel delivery, and cooling systems to identify root causes.
We also ensure ongoing operation through a complete drivetrain assessment. We evaluate transmission function, fluid condition, clutch or torque converter behavior, transfer case operation, differential play, and axle seals. We road-test to verify transmission behavior, vibration, and noise. Then we present repair choices, focus on safety and value, and complete all repairs with OEM-spec components and tested repair protocols.

FAQs
What's Your Warranty Policy for Parts and Labor?
Indeed, you receive warranties covering both parts and labor. We detail warranty duration by component: the majority of OEM and premium aftermarket parts include 24-36 months of coverage, while wear items differ. Labor is usually covered within 12-24 months, aligning with parts where relevant. We outline transferability terms-most warranties remain with the vehicle, not the owner, unless stated otherwise. We'll provide written coverage details on your invoice. Feel free to ask us to specify your repair's precise coverage terms before authorizing service.
Am I Able to Stay On-Site While Being Serviced?
Absolutely, you can typically wait on-site during your service, based on shop policies and bay availability. We focus on customer comfort with well-maintained facilities, wireless internet, and complimentary drinks. For routine maintenance like basic repairs, inspections, and tire services, you'll typically wait half an hour to an hour and a half. For complex repairs or diagnostic work, we suggest leaving your vehicle to maintain accuracy and safety. Please schedule ahead, note any time constraints, and we'll confirm wait options during scheduling and arrival to ensure clarity.
Are Shuttle or Loaner Vehicles Available?
Absolutely. Think about the convenience of having a ride while we service your vehicle. We provide transportation services including shuttle and pickup in the local area for most appointments. For longer repairs, you can request a loaner vehicle; please book in advance due to limited availability. Have your license and insurance ready, maintain scheduled timing, and confirm service duration. We'll manage vehicle exchanges to ensure your convenience throughout service.
What Payment Methods and Financing Options Do We Offer?
We accept all major payment methods including cards, cash, and checks. We also provide multiple financing choices to help manage repair costs over time. The process is straightforward - you'll complete a quick application, receive a fast decision, and select flexible terms with transparent APRs and zero prepayment penalties. We offer split payment options and email your receipt right away. Request estimate pre-authorization for a smoother payment process.
Are OEM Parts Available Upon Request?
Yes, you're welcome to specify OEM parts. We'll check OEM availability for your vehicle through your vehicle's VIN and provide cost information and timelines. If factory parts are delayed or exceed budget, we'll present premium aftermarket options that meet or exceed OE specifications. You make the final choice. We thoroughly record part specifications, warranties, and installation schedules before starting, and we'll wait for your go-ahead. Just let us know to note "OEM only" on your work order if you prefer that option.
