Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Walk in for an oil change. For anything bigger, call the shop or book an appointment so we can have a bay and the right parts ready for you.
Will you do work I have not agreed to?
No. We inspect the car, tell you what it needs and what it will cost, and nothing gets done until you say go.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes. Our repairs carry a 2-year, 24,000-mile warranty.
Can I get a loaner car?
Ask when you book. We keep a loaner for the jobs that keep your car with us all day or longer.
Will you check a used car before I buy it?
Yes. We do state certified pre-purchase inspections and tell you what we found in plain language before you hand over any money.
