We are growing! As such, our business hours may occasionally be limited or altered due to our small staffing. We kindly ask that you schedule or contact us in advance for in-shop services.
Our general business hours are 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. These hours are subject to change suddenly and without notice.

Our mobile services are available in most public and private locations, including H.O.A.s. We will inform you if a location is unsuitable and confirm key details about the work site before proceeding.
If you have concerns regarding rules set by your complex management or H.O.A., please let us know and we will address them. Generally, these policies do not restrict general maintenance, temporary, or discreet services. We pride ourselves on providing a convenient, clean, discreet, and non-disruptive experience for both our customers and their local community. If you require a special service attribute—such as quiet service for early mornings or discreet service for low-profile areas like work parking lots—simply let us know in advance.

Mobile services are available only by scheduled request, with the exception of roadside assistance.
Our current mobile service areas include Pooler-, Bloomingdale-, Ellabell-, and Statesboro, Georgia. If you are outside of these service areas, we may still be able to accommodate you so please reach out.

Booking
-
Please note: A booking is not completed or officiated until you have received confirmation from our team.
Our online booking system helps expedite service and allows you to reserve an appointment time that is convenient for you, especially if we are unable to accommodate you immediately. More details about our service process can be found on the Bookings page. To help reduce confusion and ensure accurate scheduling, bookings should only be made if one of the following applies:
You have requested and received a quote for your services.
You have requested and received information for a service package.
You are requesting roadside assistance or scheduling a ride-along.
You already have the necessary information (such as parts and labor requirements) and have confirmed the availability of the service.
The service does not require a quote, such as a standard oil change, vehicle assessment, or diagnostic.

-
It is important to note that a booking is not completed or officiated until you have received confirmation from our team. You must receive a confirmed date and time for an appointment to be considered officially scheduled.
We also kindly ask that you do not use the booking portal to request quotes, reserve times for services you have not yet received information about, or reserve multiple time slots at once. These actions can create delays and confusion, and may result in unexplained or automatic cancellations both now and in the future.
We do our best to respond quickly and accurately to all requests, including bookings, quotes, service packages, and general questions. Please allow 4–12 hours for correspondence outside of business hours, and up to 4 hours for responses during business hours.

-
Call-in communications (requests and inquiries) are generally unavailable. For new customers, you must identify the number you are calling from by texting first. As a small team managing a high volume of work, we primarily communicate through text to maintain accurate records, reduce confusion, and ensure clear and complete responses. We plan to offer phone support once a landline becomes available in our shop. However, due to current call volume and staffing limitations, we kindly ask that you use text, email, or our website for all inquiries. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Regardless of how you reach out, we monitor all correspondences closely and respond as promptly as possible.
-
We pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service, including effective conflict resolution. Our goal is to ensure you have the best experience possible. As we rarely see unresolved conflicts, we encourage you to reach out for our aid. If you need to resolve an issue, please follow these steps:
Gather information: Collect all relevant details about the conflict or problem. Organize this information clearly so you can present it to us or so we can ask clarifying questions. Consistency is key in conflict resolution.
Contact us: Reach out directly via email, text, or our Contact Us page. Matters raised outside of direct communication channels are unlikely to receive an effective resolution.
Maintain professionalism: Always communicate respectfully, even when a situation is frustrating or complex. If you feel that you may lose your composure in a situation, please take a break or wait until you feel composed to continue with the resolution process. We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
While we prioritize effective, timely, and thorough conflict resolution, behavior that is disrespectful, discourteous, harassing, or threatening—including physical, verbal, or reputational—will result in immediate and final action without warning. We take every precaution to record, organize, and document all confrontations, conflicts, or negative encounters to ensure proper resolution. We sincerely thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please note: If you are disputing a suspension, it is most likely permanent. We do not suspend services without clear reasons and careful judgment, even if the rationale remains unexplained (especially in cases involving unwarranted or sudden hostility from a customer).
Warranties
-
Included with your service is our general-labor service guarantee, which assures you that “We’ve got your back!” This guarantee means that your job will be done correctly, or your labor costs will be fully and promptly refunded. We stand behind all the work we perform, ensuring it is completed correctly and to the best of our ability.
While not applicable to every repair (evaluated on a case-by-case basis), most services are covered for up to two weeks after completion, providing assurance that the repair or component has been properly installed or serviced. Our general service guarantee applies to most of our work, from installations to repairs and maintenance.
For more details, including specific exclusions and additional coverage, please see the Warranties page.
-
Major and minor components are distinguished by how noticeable the damage is and whether it affects the functionality of the vehicle. Please see our warranties page for more information.
-
Customer-supplied parts are not covered under our warranty program, and in some cases, labor or service coverage may be limited when these parts are used. If a customer-provided part turns out to be defective or fails, responsibility for replacement or correction rests with the customer.
Receipts and Invoicing
-
Receipts and invoices are available upon request. Generally, we do not automatically generate or print them for every service, but we are always happy to provide them when asked. As our business grows, we plan to make this process more automatic, ensuring that documentation is readily available for all customers.
Service Packages
-
Service packages group multiple services or larger jobs together, offering savings and benefits that our standard services may not provide. By bundling related work, we can provide different assurances, guarantees, and special pricing.
Packages are typically billed at a flat rate or as a single cost plus parts, whereas most standard services are billed by the hour. This allows for more predictable pricing and added value for larger or more complex jobs.
-
Few packages are available for mobile services. Packages are offered primarily as a benefit for in-shop customers, where a coordinated and controlled environment allows us to efficiently handle larger jobs and comprehensive services.
For mobile service, basic packages such as brake services, routine engine maintenance, and basic or advanced vehicle assessments may be available. While we can sometimes facilitate package-level services through mobile service, these are generally not offered at a flat rate.
Payments and Deposits
-
We accept most forms of payments to include:
Cash
Prepaid Services: Cashapp, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal
Most Debit and Credit Cards via Square (may result in service fees up to 4% of total)
For larger payments/totals we may accept direct transfers, cashier’s checks, or money orders but generally we do not accept checks. Under no circumstances will we accept personal checks).
-
Deposits are generally required for services expected to take longer than four hours or when parts need to be ordered in advance. For extended services, a deposit of up to 50% of the service cost may be requested.
Most services require full payment for parts upfront. Deposits are applied toward the total cost and held until the service is complete. For parts costing significantly more than $200–$400, full payment for parts may be required upfront.
For added convenience, you also have the option to pay for the entire service, including parts and labor, in a single payment upon request.
-
The only fees we currently charge are:
Card service fees: A 3–4% fee applies to payments made by debit or credit card.
Paperwork/documentation fees: Applied in cases where document processing, generation, or verification is required, such as for insurance or warranty claims.
We strive to provide accurate labor time estimates for all jobs, but when actual time differs from the quoted time we apply our Labor Adjustment Fees as outlined below:
Overage Adjustment: If a job takes 1–2 hours more than the expected labor time due to circumstances outside of procedural or technician error, a flat additional fee of $50 will be charged. For overages greater than two hours, the time will be charged at the original hourly rate.
Under-Time Adjustment: If the service is completed in less time than originally estimated, you will be charged 50% of the hourly rate for the remaining unused time.All other services do not carry additional fees unless specifically noted in advance.
Accounts
-
We have gathered all information regarding our account types, their benefits, and qualifications on our Account Types page under the Programs tab. There you will find the details about the account types we offer. If you need additional information, we encourage you to reach out via our Contact Us page.
-
A Select Account is a special designation we offer to a small group of customers. Although information is limited, as it is an internal program, Select customers receive discounts, benefits, and services that are more convenient, faster, and more cost-effective than our traditional offerings. Only a few customers are chosen each month to receive Select status.
Select status is not based on financial factors, quid-pro-quo arrangements, or any unethical or immoral considerations (such as race, age, sex, or religion). Instead, customers are selected based on observed qualities and characteristics demonstrated consistently throughout the service process. Because we strive to provide tailored, effective, and efficient service to each customer, we regularly review our service interactions and notes. At the end of each month, we identify a small number of customers who have been especially inspirational, influential, or impactful, and we extend to them the opportunity to receive exclusive benefits, savings, rewards, and opportunities through the Select program.
Please note that there is no buy-in, application process, or company-provided criteria for this program. Anyone claiming to offer such requirements or guaranteed access is acting independently and fraudulently.
-
Suspensions are never issued lightly and are only enacted for well-documented, justifiable reasons that have been thoroughly reviewed. Once an account is suspended, we are unable to assist with any services. This includes vehicle service, questions or advisements, referrals, parts, vehicle sales or purchases, trade-ins, paperwork, documentation, or any ongoing processes.
We consider three core factors when reviewing a potential suspension: offense, repetition, and intent. We are very understanding of frustration, disappointment, criticism, skepticism, and circumstances outside of a customer’s control. However, under no circumstances will threatening, harassing, disrespectful, or otherwise malicious behavior toward our company, property, or staff be tolerated. Any such occurrence may result in an immediate suspension without notice.
We treat all customers with professionalism and respect, and we expect the same in return. If you communicate your situation with us, we are always willing to work with you to resolve it before any escalation occurs. We have never—and will never—take punitive action for honest communication, one-off issues, or unintentional mistakes.
If you believe a suspension is unjust or wish to dispute it, you must use the Contact Us form and select “Warranty, Records, or Suspension.” In most cases, we can only provide the records or judgments associated with your suspension. Apologies, atonement attempts, or offers of payment will not be accepted or acknowledged once a suspension decision has been finalized. The only exception is for temporary suspensions, for which you will be clearly notified.
If your account is suspended, communication between you and our company is formally terminated. In public spaces (such as review platforms), we may provide a brief, general clarification for accuracy, but we will not engage in ongoing communication or discussion regarding the suspension.
We firmly believe that mutual respect and clear communication are essential to maintaining healthy, sustainable relationships and service.
-
Below are a few examples of behaviors that may result in a permanent suspension of a customer’s account. These examples are not exhaustive, but they reflect common types of offenses that violate our conduct policies and service expectations:
Threats, harassment, or abusive language directed toward staff, property, or the company in any form (in person, over the phone, or online).
Using negative reviews—or threats of leaving one—as leverage to manipulate pricing, demand free services, or obtain special treatment.
Repeated no-shows or last-minute cancellations that disrupt scheduling and operations, even after reminders or documented warnings.
Providing false information or intentionally misusing services to gain benefits or avoid required procedures.
Malicious, disrespectful, or intentionally harmful behavior that compromises safety, professionalism, or the integrity of our operations.
Any such occurrence is thoroughly documented and may result in legal action in addition to the suspension of services. We sincerely appreciate our customers and value their business, and we are committed to maintaining a respectful, professional, and safe environment for everyone we serve.
Financial Aid
-
Generally, we offer three different levels of discounts. These discounts are non-compounding or cannot be applied all at once to the same ticket, work order, package, or service. Please see our discounts and promotions page for more details. about account and affiliation’s discounts.
-
Our relief program allows you to get the repairs you need at pricing terms that are lower, longer, or mor sustainable for continued use such as maintenance. Eligibility does not constitue acceptance into the program. Each case is reviwed, analyzed, and documented. Most services are eligible for application, and most applictions qualify you for 3 services dependent upon what exactly is needed. For more information about application to the program, please see the tab below.
The program is designed to aid families that have large unexpected expenses, sudden losses of income, or households that operate at a minimum 3:1 DTI (75% debt to 25% income ratio; less than a fourth of your net income is left after bills, debts, monthly payments, ect.). While individuals are welcome to apply, most individuals do not satisfy these requirements or cannot be given priority over families in need.
We only offer this program to those we feel really need these services as it resources are limited. We believe in charitable good-will and wish to extend the message to our community.
-
Applications to the Relief Program must be submitted through direct contact: the Contact Us form, text, or email. Simply put, the application starts by sending us a message stating, “I need help.” You must reach out so we can determine whether your situation qualifies and if we are currently able to provide assistance.
The process involves the following steps:
1. Initial Quote & Determination
We will first provide a quote for the requested services and determine the extent to which we can reduce costs, offer flexible terms, or provide services at no charge—depending on the sustainability of our business.2. Collection of Documentation & Explanation
Applicants must submit supporting information and documentation to verify their request. This includes:Identification: Valid ID, birth certificate, utility bills, Social Security numbers, or other security documents to confirm your identity.
Situational Verification: Physical or virtual evidence of your debt-to-income ratio (DTI), loss of income, or large/unexpected expense.
Certification: A signed statement affirming the integrity of all information provided. Any falsification or fraudulent submission will result in exclusion from the program and responsibility for the full cost of services, including any associated damages (lost labor, parts, or time).
Recommendation/Proposal: A proposed timeline, schedule, and general plan for payment. Applicants may submit their own proposal based on the initial quote, particularly if there is information or hardship they are unable or unwilling to fully disclose.
This structured process allows us to fairly and transparently determine assistance while balancing the needs of applicants with the sustainability of our services.
