Common Questions
Will following the maintenance schedule keep my warranty valid?
In most cases, yes. Your warranty expects you to follow the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule. We follow those intervals and document what we do so you have proof if you ever need it. If you’re unsure what your warranty requires, bring your booklet or we’ll help you look it up.
Do I have to go to the dealership for scheduled maintenance?
No. In Canada, you’re allowed to have your maintenance done at any licensed shop and still keep your warranty, as long as the work follows the manufacturer’s specs. We use quality parts and fluids that meet or exceed factory standards, and we keep records for you.
How do I know what service my vehicle needs?
We look at your mileage, your service history, and the manufacturer’s schedule for your specific vehicle. From there, we’ll lay out what’s due now, what’s coming up, and what can wait. You’ll get a clear, honest plan so you can decide what fits your budget.
Do you keep records of what’s been done?
Yes. Every visit is logged, including what we inspected, what we replaced, and when it was done. That helps with warranty, resale value, and planning future visits. If you ever need a history printout, we can provide it.
What happens if I’ve fallen behind on maintenance?
You’re not the only one. We’ll start with an inspection and bring your vehicle up to date in a sensible way. We’ll flag anything urgent for safety, then help you prioritize the rest over time so you’re not overwhelmed with one big bill. The goal is to get you back on track without any pressure or scare tactics.
