CUSTOMER SERVICE
Modern cars, light trucks, and sport-utility vehicles come with complex
technology such as digital dashboards, oxygen sensors, electronic computers,
unibody construction, and more. They run better, longer, and more
efficiently than models of years past. However, they eventually need to be
replaced.
Before taking your vehicle in for repairs or service, do your homework so
you receive the best possible service.
- Read the owner's manual to learn about the vehicle's systems and components.
- Follow the recommended service schedules.
- Keep a log of all repairs and service.
- Do not ignore any warning signals your car may give you.
- Carry a written list of the symptoms that you can give your mechanic.
- Resist the temptation to suggest a specific course of repair. Allow our experienced technicians to diagnose and recommend a remedy.
- It's important to note when the problem occurs. Is it constant or periodic? Does it occur when the vehicle is cold or after the engine has warmed up? Does it happen at all speeds? Only under acceleration? During braking? When shifting?
Check for the following common vehicle maintenance issues on a regular basis:
- Unusual sounds, odors, drips, leaks, smoke, warning lights, gauge readings.
- Changes in acceleration, engine performance, gas mileage, fluid levels.
- Worn tires, belts, hoses.
- Problems in handling, braking, steering, and vibrations.
- When did the problem first start?
How to manage your service experience:
- Ask as many questions as needed to fully understand your repair. Ask for an explanation in laymans terms if necessary.
- Don't rush the technicians. You may be called and apprised of the problem, course of action, and cost before work begins.
- Before you leave, be sure you understand shop policies regarding labor rates, guarantees, and acceptable methods of payment.
- Make sure the shop has your contact information readily available, so you can be reached as soon as possible.

Great body repair my car looks as good as new (2015). Steve was very professional and courteous. Have recommended to family and friends. Tavie Williams, 08/16/2023 |
This is our go to place for all things related to our 2 vehicles. Our family trust their family...you should too. They are proud of the work they do, reasonable cost and quality. Skip the dealer and get the best, for less! Kate B, 09/06/2023 |
Hands down, the absolute best experience I've ever had with any type of car related thing! I got into an accident at 37 weeks pregnant, went through my insurance to get repairs many weeks later. Rick Penter at Burton's Collision got me an estimate at my time frame quickly, ordered parts, then scheduled my repairs. He was quicker and more responsive than me! Once my 2022 Telluride was with him, he moved quickly and was extremely communicative! He even detailed my car! But seriously the work was perfection, the communication was perfect, and the accommodations was top notch. Jessica Lynn, 07/22/2023 |
