Vehicle repairs are either the recommended solution to an “Initial Consultation” or a recommended solution to an issue noticed during routine maintenance. Repairs can be as simple as a door handle that doesn’t operate properly, or as complex as replacing a set of brake lines that are corroded and leaking.
We rarely provide repairs prior to personally identifying the issue because we need to know what parts, tools and equipment to prepare, and we need to confirm the bad component rather than guessing the most likely issue. Just like an HVAC professional who may come to your house to service your furnace, we don’t stock every part available for every vehicle. However, we do stock the same types of parts as all good independent repair shops, with wiper blades, light bulbs, fuses, oil filters, oil, hoses, clamps, etc, and we have connections with all the local auto part stores and dealerships to quickly receive the correct replacement parts. We will start by diagnosing the issue with your vehicle, and if still safe to drive, we will recommend the follow-up visit to repair. This allows you to continue operating your vehicle and us to obtain the correct parts and schedule an efficient schedule to keep our service costs down.
If you schedule to drop off your car at our shop, we often can obtain parts same day or next day to complete the repair and we’ll communicate cost and obtain your permission before performing any repair. If you need a repair using our mobile service, we always provide an estimate first. If we haven’t come out to diagnose exactly the repair and provide an estimate, please schedule an “Initial Consultation” by clicking below.
