Frequently Asked Questions
Are Parts and Labor Covered by Warranty?
Indeed, we provide warranties covering both parts and labor. We outline warranty duration by component: the majority of OEM and premium aftermarket parts come with 24-36 months of protection, while wear items may vary. Labor generally comes covered for a period of 12-24 months, aligning with parts as appropriate. We outline transferability terms-most protection plans remain with the vehicle, not the owner, unless stated otherwise. We'll provide written coverage details in your invoice. Please ask us to quote your repair's specific warranty details before proceeding with service.
Can I Wait On-Site During My Service?
Indeed, you are welcome to usually wait on-site during your service, based on our facility's capacity and guidelines. We focus on customer comfort with well-maintained facilities, wireless internet, and complimentary drinks. For quick services like basic repairs, inspections, and tire services, you'll usually wait half an hour to an hour and a half. For diagnostics or major repairs, we suggest leaving your vehicle to maintain accuracy and safety. Please book in advance, inform us of any time constraints, and we'll confirm wait options at booking and check-in to align expectations.
