Frequently Asked Questions
Why are your prices shown as ranges?
Most repairs are priced from two moving parts: how long the job takes on your specific vehicle, and what the parts cost. A brake job on a compact sedan and one on a loaded SUV are not the same job. These ranges cover the great majority of vehicles we see.
What decides where my vehicle falls in the range?
Vehicle make and model — parts cost and labor time vary widely from one vehicle to the next. Parts choice matters too — OE, OE-equivalent or economy — along with condition: seized or corroded hardware adds labor time.
Will I know the price before you start work?
Yes. We inspect the vehicle, then give you an estimate for your approval. Nothing gets done without your go-ahead, and if we find something else once we are into the job, we stop and call you before going further.
Do these prices include parts and labor?
Yes — the ranges shown cover parts and labor for the job described. Shop supplies, taxes and any additional repairs found during inspection are separate.
Why do some repairs say “by quote”?
A few jobs — head gaskets, timing chains, transmission rebuilds — vary so much by engine and by what we find on teardown that any range would be misleading. Those get an individual quote after inspection.
Do you charge for a diagnostic?
Yes. Diagnostic time is real work: hooking up a scan tool, reading live data and tracing the fault to its source. The scan fee is listed under Computer Diagnostics above. It buys you an accurate answer instead of replacing parts and hoping.
Is your work under warranty?
Yes — we offer a 1-year warranty on most parts and labor. Ask your advisor for the specifics on your repair, since coverage varies a little by part.
How do I get an exact price for my vehicle?
Call us at (765) 529-3555 with your year, make, model and what the vehicle is doing. Most quotes take a few minutes on the phone; anything that needs eyes on the vehicle, we will book an inspection for.
