FAQ

How long will it take to complete the repairs?

The repair time depends on the complexity of the issue. A simple oil change takes 30-45 minutes, routine maintenance 1-2 hours, and major repairs like engine or transmission rebuilds may take several days. We always work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality!

How much will it cost?

The cost depends on the type of repair. We offer transparent pricing, an initial diagnosis, and confirm all work before starting. You will never receive an unexpected bill – only honest service and fair prices!

My car is running rough. Do I need a tune-up?

If your vehicle is running rough, it could be due to worn spark plugs, fuel system issues, or a clogged air filter. A full diagnostic will pinpoint the problem, and preventive maintenance will improve engine performance and extend its lifespan.

Is there a charge to check out my car?

The initial inspection for many common issues is free, but in-depth diagnostics (such as computer engine diagnostics) may require a small fee. However, if you choose to proceed with the repair at our shop, the diagnostic fee is credited toward the service cost!

Do I need an appointment for a repair?

We recommend scheduling an appointment to minimize wait times. However, if you have an urgent issue, we will do our best to accommodate you on the same day. Just give us a call – we are always ready to help!

What credit cards do you take?

We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as cash and electronic payments. If you need an alternative payment method, just ask us!

Why does my car need maintenance if it's running fine?

Regular maintenance is an investment in your vehicle’s future. Even if everything seems to be running smoothly, minor issues can develop into major problems over time. Scheduled service helps prevent costly repairs down the road.

What will happen if I don't have the repairs done right now?

 It depends on the issue. Some problems (like worn brake pads) can lead to serious damage and unsafe driving conditions. Others (a slight noise in the suspension) may worsen over time, increasing repair costs. We always recommend fixing issues as early as possible.

What Should I Do When My Check Engine Lights Come On?

 If the “Check Engine” light comes on, it could indicate various issues, from minor to critical. We recommend not ignoring it and scheduling a computer diagnostic to prevent further damage and costly repairs.

How Often Should I Have My Brakes Checked?

Brakes are a critical safety component. We recommend checking them every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or at every scheduled maintenance visit. If you hear squeaking, grinding, or feel reduced braking efficiency – visit us immediately for an inspection!

What type of oil filter do I need?

The correct oil filter depends on your vehicle model and oil type. We always use OEM-recommended filters to ensure maximum engine protection and longevity.

Do I Really Need Winter Tires?

If you live in an area with harsh winter conditions, winter tires are a must. They provide better traction, handling, and safety on wet, snowy, or icy roads. In milder climates, all-season tires may be a suitable option.
