Common questions
Do I need an appointment?
Call or text first so the shop knows you're coming and what the car is doing. It makes the day go faster for everyone.
My car is overheating. Should I keep driving?
Better not. Pull over, turn the engine off and never open a hot radiator cap. Call the shop and tell them what you saw: steam, a puddle, a sweet smell.
My check engine light is flashing. Is that serious?
A flashing light usually means a misfire that can damage the catalytic converter. Drive as little as you can and call. A steady light is less urgent, but worth checking soon.
Will I know the price before the work starts?
That's the idea: the shop looks at the car, explains the issue and gives you the price before fixing it.
Are you open on weekends?
No. Hours are Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5:30 PM. Closed Saturday and Sunday.
