-
Do you use OEM parts on every job?Yes, we use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts for every job unless otherwise requested by the customer. We believe in providing the highest quality parts for our customers to ensure their vehicles run smoothly and safely. However, we also understand that OEM parts may not always be the most cost-effective option for every situation, so we are happy to discuss alternative options with our customers based on their individual needs and budget. However, there are some cases where aftermarket parts are not compatible for the needed repairs and we reserve the right to decline said repairs with the use of aftermarket parts.
-
Can I purchase parts only?Unfortunately, we only sell parts with repairs. There are many online stores that you can purchase parts from if you seek to do the repairs yourself.

What if OEM parts are no longer available for my vehicle?Don't worry, we have many options if OEM parts are no longer available. In some cases, we can source aftermarket parts that will still be suitable for the repair. If aftermarket parts are not available we can attempt to source used or reconditioned parts. A third option is to rebuild and re-use your current parts. It is only in rare cases that we are unable to source a suitable and capatible part for repairs on your vehicle.
