FAQ

Auto Repair in Wauchula: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Wauchula.

Do I need an appointment just to have something looked at?

It helps, and it's the fastest way to get on a lift. Call the shop closest to you and tell us what you're hearing or seeing, and we'll get you a time. If the car isn't safe to drive, say so on the phone and we'll work around it.

Do you work on my make and model?

Almost certainly. Our ASE certified technicians work on domestic, Asian, and European cars and light trucks every day, gas and diesel. If something needs a dealer-only tool or procedure we don't have, we'll tell you up front instead of taking your money and finding out later.

Is the 36 month, 36,000 mile warranty really good anywhere?

Yes. It's a nationwide warranty, not a come-back-to-us warranty. If a covered repair gives you trouble while you're traveling, it's honored at participating shops around the country. Keep your paperwork or just call us and we'll help you sort it out from here.

How do estimates and approvals work?

You get the inspection results with photos before you get a number, so you can see what we're talking about. Then we price the work and you approve what you want done, item by item. If we open something up and find more than we expected, the work stops and we call you before anything else happens.

Can I bring you a diagnosis another shop already gave me?

Sure, and bring the paperwork. We'll take it seriously, but we'll still verify it ourselves before we sell you a repair based on it. Sometimes it confirms exactly what they found, and sometimes it saves you from replacing a part that wasn't the problem.
