You'll know the price before we start.

Four bays, two certified techs and one rule: we call with a written quote, and nothing gets done until you say yes. Brakes, check-engine lights, A/C and NC inspections.

How a repair goes here

Same four steps every time, whether it's a wiper blade or a water pump.

  1. Drop it off

    Leave the car at your slot, or use the early-bird box. Shuttle within 5 miles, 8 to 4.

  2. We look and text

    A tech inspects it and texts you photos with a written, itemized quote.

  3. You decide

    Approve all of it, part of it, or none. Diagnosis is the only charge if you pass.

  4. Pick it up

    We show you the old parts if you want to see them. Pay at the counter or by text link.

24 / 24kparts and labor warranty

Repairs we do are covered for 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. If something we fixed fails, bring it back and we make it right at no charge. The warranty is in writing on every invoice.
