FAQs
Do You Offer Warranties on Parts and Labor?
Absolutely, we offer warranties for both parts and labor. We outline warranty coverage by component: many OEM and premium aftermarket parts come with 24-36 months warranty, while wear items may vary. Labor is usually covered within 12-24 months, aligning with parts when applicable. We outline transferability terms-most protection plans remain with the vehicle, not the owner, unless specified differently. You'll receive written coverage details with your invoice. Don't hesitate to ask us to specify your repair's precise terms before authorizing any repairs.
