Vehicle Hold for Non-Payment

We reserve the right to retain possession of your vehicle until payment is received in full. California law permits automotive repair facilities to place a mechanic's lien on vehicles for unpaid services.

  • Perform diagnostic tests and inspections as necessary
  • Road test your vehicle before and after service
  • Perform approved repairs and maintenance

We stand behind our work with comprehensive warranty protection. For detailed warranty information, please visit our Warranty Information page.

Workmanship Warranty

We guarantee our workmanship for 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever comes first) on most repairs. Warranty coverage varies by service type and is detailed on your repair invoice.

Liability and Disclaimers

Limitation of Liability

While we exercise reasonable care in performing our services, we cannot be held liable for:

We provide reasonable security for vehicles on our premises, but we are not responsible for:

  • Personal items left in the vehicle
  • Damage to aftermarket accessories or modifications

Vehicles left on our premises for more than 30 days after service completion may be subject to storage fees.
