Quotes and Financing

How much does a diagnostic cost?

It depends on your vehicle and the problem. Call us or send us your vehicle and what it is doing, and we will give you a diagnostic quote. We explain what we find before any repair work is done.

Will I get a quote before the work starts?

Yes. We explain what your car needs and give you a quote before we start.

Do you use OEM or aftermarket parts?

Either one. We can use parts straight from the manufacturer or good-quality aftermarket parts. The choice is yours.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Financing is available with no credit check and no obligation, for vehicles less than 10 years old. See the financing details and application.

Warranty and Dealership Questions

What warranty do you give on repairs?

Our repairs come with a 1-year warranty on labour, and most parts are covered for 1 year as well.

Does servicing my car outside the dealership void my warranty?

No. Our scheduled maintenance follows factory specifications, so your manufacturer warranty stays intact. Keep your invoices as your service record.

Can I bring my leased car to you?

Yes. Lease agreements normally require maintenance to the manufacturer’s schedule, not dealer servicing. Check your lease and keep your invoices as proof.

Repairs and Service

What cars do you work on?

We specialize in Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen, and we work on everything else too, including Asian and domestic vehicles. If it needs fixing, call us.

My check engine light is on. What should I do?

Book a diagnostic. We scan the car and find the real cause before replacing any parts. If the light is flashing or the car is running rough, call us right away.

How often should DSG or PDK transmission fluid be changed?

It depends on the model and the manufacturer’s schedule. We identify your exact transmission first and then tell you the right service. See our DSG and PDK service page.

What is intake carbon cleaning (walnut blasting), and does my car need it?

Many modern direct-injection engines build up carbon on the intake valves. This can cause rough idle, misfires on cold starts and slower throttle response. Walnut blasting cleans the carbon off. Read more on our carbon cleaning page.

Do you do tuning and performance upgrades?

Yes. We offer in-house ECU and TCU tuning on select Audi, BMW, Honda and Subaru vehicles. We also install custom exhausts, coilovers, downpipes, lowering springs and performance clutches. See all performance work.

Yes, through insurance or out of pocket. See our collision repair page.
