FAQs
What Kind of Warranty Coverage Do You Provide?
Absolutely, we offer warranties that cover both parts and labor. We detail warranty duration by component: the majority of OEM and premium aftermarket parts include 24-36 months of protection, while wear items may vary. Labor is usually covered for a period of 12-24 months, aligning with parts when applicable. We detail transferability terms-most protection plans remain with the vehicle, not the owner, unless stated otherwise. You'll receive written coverage details in your invoice. Don't hesitate to ask us to quote your repair's precise coverage terms before approving service.
Is It Possible to Wait On-Site During Service?
Indeed, you may typically wait on-site during your service, depending on available space and shop rules. We prioritize customer comfort with comfortable waiting areas, internet access, and beverages. For quick services like oil changes, inspections, tire rotations, you'll generally wait 30-90 minutes. For extensive services or detailed diagnostics, we advise dropping off your car to ensure accuracy and safety. Please schedule ahead, inform us of any time constraints, and we'll confirm wait options at booking and check-in to ensure clarity.
