Getting Here + Parking
- Pull into the driveway and grab any open space in front of the garage doors.
- Check in at the lobby, located directly through the white door to the right of the garage doors.
Once You're Here
- You'll meet your check-in specialist. They'll go over the details of your visit and do a quick walk-around of your car with you, so we capture everything about it and anything you want us to pay special attention to.
- You'll get a rough timeline. Most visits run at least a half day — good service takes time.
- We’ll call to review our findings. Once our technicians finish their inspection, our service team calls to walk through what they found. You’ll decide how you want to proceed, and nothing happens until we get your ok.
- We keep you posted. During your service, we may reach out with updates. You can always call or text us if a question pops up in the meantime. As soon as your car is done, you’ll hear from us.
- We walk you through it at pickup. Everything we did, answered questions, before you head out.
