Can I bring in my own parts?
We do not install customer-supplied parts. We stand behind our repairs with a 3-year/36,000-mile nationwide warranty, and in order to honor that warranty, all parts must be sourced and installed by our shop. Customer provided parts cannot be verified for quality, application accuracy, or warranty coverage, which puts both you and our shop at risk.
How much does diagnostics cost?
The total cost of testing can vary depending on the cause of the issue and how much testing is required to properly diagnose it. Modern vehicles require more than just reading a fault code. Proper testing may involve scan tool data analysis, electrical circuit testing, component verification, and in-depth system evaluation to accurately identify the root cause of a problem.
In most cases, testing does not exceed $210. However depending on the complexity of the concern, additional time and testing may be required. If that situation arises, we will always contact you for approval before proceeding.
If we are able to identify the issue within 10 minutes or less, the testing fee may be waived.
