Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are local auto repair shops cheaper than dealerships?

    Yes, local auto repair shops are often cheaper than dealerships, primarily due to lower overhead costs and the ability to offer more competitive pricing. You'll also receive more personalized service. Our mechanics get to know our customers and their vehicles over time, leading to better communication and tailored, exceptional customer service.

For example, if your car is worth $3,000 and repairs are estimated at $1,800, it might be better to consider replacement.
