  • Diagnostics and/or inspections are not considered “repair work” and are charged at full price
  • Diagnostics are not the same as “Peace of mind” inspections. Diagnostics require troubleshooting and there might be an additional charge for them

  • Unlimited Warranty is above and beyond the 1 year / 20,000 kilometer warranty that we provide with all our repairs. As long as your membership is active, all the repairs we do are covered under our warranty for parts only with a few exceptions. We will also only replace the parts if they need to be replaced as determined by the Mek and the fact they’re literally not functioning as designed. The exceptions are tires, brake rotors and pads – everything else like batteries is included in the warranty. The other exception is accident damage – if you get into an accident and physically damage your vehicle then the warranty doesn’t apply. Once the vehicle is sold, the warranty cannot be transferred to the next owner and if you cancel your prime membership you cannot get the warranty back if you sign up again.
