Common Questions
What's Your Warranty Policy for Parts and Labor?
Indeed, we offer warranties covering both parts and labor. We outline warranty duration by component: many OEM and premium aftermarket parts include 24-36 months of coverage, while wear items have different terms. Labor generally comes covered within 12-24 months, matching parts as appropriate. We document transferability terms-the majority of coverage remain with the vehicle, not the owner, unless specified differently. You'll get written coverage details with your invoice. Please ask us to specify your repair's specific terms before authorizing service.
