You tell us what it is doing, we look at it, and before work starts you get a written estimate to approve. If the job needs to go past the estimate, we get your OK first. At the end you get an itemized bill that matches what you agreed to.

Call (857) 756-0675 and tell us what the car is doing; we will tell you what to expect before you come in. Any charge to diagnose is told to you up front, before we start.
