Warranty & Parts

Do I have to take my vehicle to a dealer to keep my vehicle warranty?

No. You can have service and repairs done at any independent shop. Make sure to follow the mileage guidelines outlined in your manual and maintain copies of receipts showing date, mileage, and work performed.

Do I have to purchase the dealer's original equipment parts to keep my vehicle warranty?

No. A reputable brand, such as Car Quest will be fine. You may want to keep your receipts just to show the vehicle has followed scheduled service and maintenance.

How do other brands of parts compare to dealer purchased items?

A lot of the after market parts are made by the same supplier and some are guaranteed just as long or longer than original equipment parts. The parts used by our facilities meet or exceed manufacturer's specifications for OEM replacements.
