Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How often should I get my car serviced?
Generally, it's recommended to follow your vehicle manufacturer's service schedule, typically every 12 months or 10,000-20,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. However, this can vary based on your driving habits and vehicle type. We can provide tailored advice.

Q2: What should I do if my check engine light comes on?
Don't ignore it. The check engine light can indicate a wide range of issues, from minor to serious. It's best to have it diagnosed by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to prevent potential damage.

Q3: How do I know if my brakes need attention?
Listen for unusual noises like squealing or grinding, feel for pulsations or a soft pedal, or notice the car pulling to one side when braking. If you experience any of these, it’s time for a brake inspection.

Q4: Do you offer a warranty on your repairs?
Yes, we stand by the quality of our work. Please ask our team about our warranty policy for specific services and parts.
