FAQ

How long will it take to complete the repairs?

The duration of repairs can vary widely depending on the nature of the issue and the availability of parts. Typically, simpler repairs might take a few hours, while more complex problems could take several days. It's best to consult directly with the service provider for a more accurate estimate based on your specific situation.

How much will it cost?

The cost of repairs can vary significantly based on the type of device, the complexity of the issue, and the parts required. For a precise estimate, it's advisable to consult directly with the repair service after they have assessed the damage. They usually offer a diagnostic service to determine the exact problem and provide an accurate cost estimate.

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

If your car is running rough, it could indeed be a sign that it needs a tune-up. A tune-up generally includes checking and possibly replacing spark plugs, air and fuel filters, and inspecting the ignition system and emissions system. It’s a good idea to also check the engine's computer system for error codes to identify any specific issues. I’d recommend taking your car to a mechanic for a diagnostic to determine what specifically needs attention.

Is there a charge to check out my car?

The initial inspection within our workshops is free of charge. However, external inspections are subject to a fee depending on the location, which will be deducted from the bill after the repair is completed.

Do I need an appointment for a repair?

For minor repairs, you may not need to make an appointment, but you can contact us to schedule one to ensure quicker service.

What credit cards do you take?

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

Regular maintenance is crucial even if your car seems to be running fine. It helps ensure that your vehicle remains in good condition, prevents future problems, and extends its lifespan. Regular checks can identify wear and tear early, keeping repair costs lower and maintaining performance. Additionally, maintaining your car as recommended by the manufacturer ensures it operates safely and efficiently, and it can also preserve its resale value.

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

 

1. Worsening Issues: Small problems can develop into more serious issues, potentially leading to more extensive and expensive repairs.
2. Safety Risks: Ignoring repairs can compromise the safety of your vehicle, making it hazardous to drive.
3. Reduced Efficiency: Your car may operate less efficiently, possibly using more fuel and delivering poorer performance.
4. Increased Breakdown Risk: The risk of your car breaking down unexpectedly increases, which could be inconvenient and costly.
5. Resale Value: The overall condition and value of your car could decline, affecting its resale value.

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

When your check engine light comes on, first check if other warning lights are also on. If not, make sure your gas cap is tight as a loose one can trigger this light. If the light remains on, it's best to have your car checked by a professional to diagnose the issue and prevent potential problems.

How Often Should I Have My Brakes Checked?

It's a good idea to have your brakes checked at least once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, if you frequently drive in heavy traffic or harsh conditions, you might need to check them more often. Also, if you notice any issues like squealing noises, a spongy brake pedal, or longer stopping distances, you should have them inspected immediately.

What Type of Oil Filter Do I Need?

The type of oil filter you need depends on your car’s make, model, and engine specifications. It’s important to use the correct filter to ensure proper engine lubrication and performance. You can find the recommended oil filter type in your vehicle’s owner’s manual or by consulting with a professional mechanic. Alternatively, auto parts stores can also help you find the right filter based on your car’s information.

Do I Really Need Winter Tires?

Whether you need winter tires depends on your climate and driving conditions. If you live in an area with harsh winters, including regular snow and ice, winter tires are highly recommended. They are designed to provide better traction, handling, and braking performance in cold, snowy, and icy conditions compared to all-season tires. If winter weather is mild where you live, all-season tires might be sufficient. However, for optimal safety and vehicle performance in winter conditions, winter tires are the best choice.
