Frequently Asked Questions
We typically schedule service center appointments within the week. Our service center aims for fast, high-quality service with minimal wait times. Depending on the service, we typically schedule within 5 days of appointment creation. Most repairs can be done within the same day or the following, although some take longer depending on the complexity of the service required.
Oil changes typically take 30 minutes. There are a few options for scheduling your oil change. First, once you have set an appointment time, you can drop off your vehicle in the morning or the night before and have it done by the end of the day. However, if you would prefer to wait during your oil change, we can set up a specific time for you.
Winter conditions can be unpredictable in northern climates, but does using winter tires really change the traction that much?
Yes!
A tire rotation moves the location of your tires on the vehicle (for example, from front to back or vice versa). Doing regular tire rotations can help keep road traction, protect against blowouts, provide a smoother ride, and maintain efficiency. Tires wear at different rates, so rotating your tires on the vehicle helps them to wear more evenly and therefore extends their life.
