While we welcome customers from anywhere, keep in mind that vehicle breakdowns or warranty work might require return visits. Choose service providers reasonably close to home or work for convenience.

Why Customers Travel to Us

Some customers travel significant distances for our services, particularly for specialized diagnostics, pre-purchase inspections, or repairs other shops couldn't resolve.

Our reputation for thorough diagnostics, honest recommendations, and quality repairs attracts customers beyond our immediate area. We appreciate the trust this represents and work to justify the extra travel.

Accommodations for Distant Customers

For customers traveling from distance, we offer: flexible early drop-off (from 7:30 AM), priority scheduling for out-of-town customers, loaner vehicles for multi-day repairs, and can recommend nearby hotels/restaurants.

Call ahead when traveling from distance to ensure we can accommodate your needs and have appropriate diagnostic tools or parts for your specific vehicle.

Accessibility

Our facility is wheelchair accessible with level entrance, accessible restrooms, and designated parking spaces. Public transit: bus routes 106 and 550 stop 300m away.

Waiting area amenities: complimentary WiFi, coffee and tea, comfortable seating, and workspaces for those who need to work while waiting. We want customers comfortable whether waiting for service or dropping off vehicles.

Partnership with Towing Services

If your vehicle breaks down outside our service area, we can arrange towing through partner services. Call us for towing recommendations and to verify we can diagnose and repair your specific problem before arranging expensive long-distance towing.

For roadside emergencies, assess if safe temporary repair allows driving to us vs requiring tow. We provide phone guidance for safety assessment. See our troubleshooting guides.

10. Why should I choose you over closer shops?
Only you can decide if our service justifies travel. We offer thorough diagnostics, honest recommendations, quality repairs, and transparent pricing. Some problems require specialist expertise worth traveling for. Routine maintenance might be more practical at closer shops.
