I've been going to Craig for over 20 years. He's a very honest man and as a female walking into a auto repair shop I appreciate his honesty. - Lorraine

I found Craig Johnson for my parents who lost their long-time mechanic. He has been a huge blessing... Honest mechanics can be hard to find and I would recommend Craig to anyone. - Justin

Drove in with no appointment and took a look right away. The car was fixed and finished same day. Now THAT is service! - 5 Star Review *****

Service is fast, friendly and competent. As a friend once said, Craig only repairs it once. You do not have to go back for the same problem Craig also gives me advice on items his shop does not do such as manufacturer recalls and exhaust repairs. If you have a problem that is covered by the manufacturers warranty, Craig tells you to take it to the dealer. What more can you ask for? - Gerald with a 5 Star Review

Hi Craig, Nice to see you and thanks for making room to get my car serviced while I was on the run from one appointment to another. Hope you don't retire any time soon, your service would be hard to replace.

There seems to be a common misconception among many that if you have an aftermarket/extended warranty, that your car, truck, SUV, or Jeep must be taken to a dealership. This is not true. Non-dealership / Independent Automotive repair shops can service and repair your new or UNDER WARRANTY/EXTENDED WARRANTY. As a positive, at our shop, you can get fast service and work with highly trained technicians! We'd love to take care of your vehicle for you and can do so right here at our automotive shop. Repairs by highly rated and trained automotive technicians with dealer rated diagnostic tools, at BETTER PRICING by a shop that knows you!

It is a law that independent automotive repair shops can maintain and service your warranty. All consumers are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). It prohibits a manufacturer from voiding the new vehicle's warranty or a vehicle's extended warranty because service was performed by a Non-Dealer/Independent Repair shop.

Per the FTC, “It's illegal for a dealer to deny your warranty coverage simply because you had warranty work or routine maintenance or repairs performed by our automotive shop. Routine maintenance can include anything from oil changes, tire rotations and belt replacement, to fluid checks, flushes, new brake pads, and inspections.” It is also important to note that the “Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for a company to void your warranty or deny coverage under the warranty for the simple cause that you used an aftermarket or recycled part.”

One of the major perks of bringing your vehicle to an independent repair shop is the ability to make your money go further. Many times, warranties will have a limit or a deductible. Our goal is to make your warranty work for you.

Lastly, If you are on the fence about whether or not to purchase an AFTERMARKET or EXTENDED warranty. We suggest opening a savings account for your car and putting back money for possible breakdowns. While warranties are great the limitations can sometimes outweigh the benefits.

Whichever option you may choose we will be there for you every step of the way! We look forward to taking care of your new or under extended/aftermarket warranty, car, truck, SUV, or Jeep right here. Give us a call today!
