We also protect future reliability with a thorough drivetrain assessment. We evaluate transmission operation, fluid status, clutch or torque converter performance, transfer case engagement, differential backlash, and axle seals. We road-test to validate shifting performance, oscillation, and noise issues. Then we explain your options, emphasize safety and value, and perform necessary repairs using OEM-specified parts and established repair methods.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Kind of Warranty Coverage Do You Provide?
Indeed, we provide warranties for both parts and labor. We outline warranty coverage by component: the majority of OEM and premium aftermarket parts come with 24-36 months of coverage, while wear items may vary. Labor is typically covered for 12-24 months, corresponding to parts as appropriate. We document transferability terms-most protection plans transfer with the vehicle, not the owner, unless specified differently. You'll get written coverage details in your invoice. Please ask us to quote your repair's specific coverage terms before approving any repairs.
Can I Remain On-Site While My Service Is Being Performed?
Yes, you may generally wait on-site during your service, depending on shop policies and bay availability. We focus on customer comfort with well-maintained facilities, wireless internet, and complimentary drinks. For quick services like maintenance checks, oil services, tire work, you'll typically wait half an hour to an hour and a half. For diagnostics or major repairs, we recommend drop‑off to ensure accuracy and safety. Please book in advance, note any time constraints, and we'll verify wait options at booking and check-in to meet your scheduling needs.
Do You Provide Transportation or Temporary Vehicles?
Absolutely. Imagine leaving your car for service while having transportation ready. We offer shuttle service and customer pickup within a defined radius for most appointments. For longer repairs, you can request a loaner vehicle; please book in advance due to limited availability. Bring required documentation, be punctual, and verify service length. We'll handle all transportation logistics to minimize disruption to your schedule.

Can You Get OEM Parts When Needed?
Yes, we accept requests for OEM parts. We'll check OEM availability for your vehicle through your vehicle's VIN and provide pricing details and lead times. When OEM components are unavailable or cost-prohibitive, we'll discuss high-quality aftermarket alternatives that satisfy or better OE specifications. You select the preferred option.
