Common Questions
Are Parts and Labor Covered by Warranty?
Yes, we offer warranties covering both parts and labor. We outline warranty duration by component: the majority of OEM and premium aftermarket parts include 24-36 months of coverage, while wear items have different terms. Labor generally comes covered for a period of 12-24 months, corresponding to parts when applicable. We document transferability terms-most protection plans remain with the vehicle, not the owner, unless specified differently. You'll receive written coverage details in your invoice. Please ask us to specify your repair's precise terms before approving the work.
Can I Remain On-Site While My Service Is Being Performed?
Yes, you may typically wait on-site during your service, subject to our facility's capacity and guidelines. We prioritize customer comfort with comfortable waiting areas, internet access, and beverages. For routine maintenance like maintenance checks, oil services, tire work, you'll generally wait between 30 and 90 minutes. For diagnostics or major repairs, we recommend dropping off your car to guarantee accuracy and safety. Please schedule ahead, note any time constraints, and we'll confirm wait options during scheduling and arrival to meet your scheduling needs.
