Warranty Details

Requirements and Exclusions

Though we always try to help the customer as best we can including being generous in the application of our warranty, we have to mention these things.  They are common sense but sometimes it's better to have them in writing.  Not only does heeding these items maintain your warranty, but they are good practices to keep your car in shape whether you have a warranty or not.  The goal is for you to properly maintain and care for your car so it will serve you well.  That's what we're here to help you do.

  •  PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE: As with all warranties, proper maintenance of the warranted item/system is required to maintain the warranty coverage.  For example, if we install new fuel injectors they have to be cleaned regularly to prevent future failure.  Or if we replace a water pump the antifreeze/coolant must be flushed and changed to maintain the warranty.  In this example, particulate contamination can damage the pump seal and the maintenance is needed to prevent the new pump from developing a leak.    A lot of things, like an alternator for example, do not require maintenance, so neither does their warranty. 

  •  INTERVALS: To keep it simple we use the BG recommended intervals as our warranty requirement for all makes and models. That is no more than 5,000 miles for oil changes and fuel system cleaner.  Steering parts requiring it must be lubed at oil changes.  Other fluids must be changed every 30,000 miles.  Any thing not covered by those intervals must be maintained as required at factory recommended intervals.   At our discretion, we may waive this requirement and fix it under warranty even if the maintenance is not done.

  •  POOR CONDITION: Special circumstances like a very rusty cooling system may require multiple services to get it clean, and if it is not possible to clean it there would be no warranty at all on the water pump, radiator, etc.   We cannot warranty things that are out of our control.  Again, we'll use our discretion to determine if the failure was due to  the poor condition (rust in this case).

  •  EXTERNAL DAMAGE:   Damage caused to our warranted item by failure of another part is also out of our control and is not covered.   For example. if an oil or water leak develops and it saturates the alternator we put on and shorts it out and ruins it, we are not under obligation to replace the alternator.  Though we usually do what we can for you even in that circumstance.

  •  NEGLECT: Similar to external damage above, some things just wouldn't happen if you fix problems as they occur instead of putting them off.  In our water pump example, a leak elsewhere in the coolant system that is not promptly repaired can cause cavitation and corrosion causing water pump failure and other damage as well.

  •  ABUSE And of course abuse such as racing or off road use can void the warranty on our repairs as well, depending on the item. 

Decisions about voiding or honoring the warranty are made at our discretion and we will explain any technical reasons should these situations occur.  Seldom do we get any warranty issues at all and when we do it's very seldom that these requirements come into play.  And we always lean toward helping our customers if it's at all reasonable.
