Your vehicle health report — like a checkup from your doctor

Every vehicle that comes through our shop gets a digital vehicle health report, every visit. Photos of what we found, plain-English notes on what they mean, and each item labeled honestly: what needs attention now, what can wait, and what's just worth watching. You review it right on your phone.

You approve the work — and every dollar — before it begins, and nothing gets added without your authorization.

FAQ

Do I lose my factory warranty by not going to the dealer?

No. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer generally cannot void your new-car warranty simply because maintenance or repairs were performed by an independent shop, and generally cannot require dealer service or brand-name parts as a condition of coverage unless it provides them free (FTC warranty guidance). What matters is that scheduled services are done on time, to spec, and documented — we record every service performed. (Coverage of a specific failure can generally only be denied if the manufacturer shows the outside work or part actually caused that failure.)

Is an independent shop really an alternative to the dealer for a European car?

For maintenance and repair, yes — and the law protects your factory warranty when you choose one (see above). What you should demand from any shop, us included: proper testing, quality parts, documentation of everything done, and your written authorization before work happens. That's exactly what we put in front of you.

What will it cost?

We don't quote repairs sight-unseen — a number given before anyone has inspected the car is a guess. Your vehicle health report gives you an exact, itemized picture, and you approve every dollar before work begins.

Can I wait, or should I drop off?

Either. We have a waiting area, drop-off with a key drop, and a local shuttle. You can approve work by text and pay by text. Vehicle pickup and delivery may be available by advance arrangement — ask your advisor.
