Is this repair necessary right now, or can it wait?

If repairs become overwhelming, we can help you prioritize. In general, repairs fall into a few categories:

• Safety Critical: this is usually problems with brakes (not just pads), tires, steering, suspension, or lights often require immediate attention. Delaying these is risky.
• Preventative Maintenance: Things like fluid changes/flushes or timing belt replacements prevent much larger, more expensive problems down the road. Delaying slightly might be okay, but ignoring them leads to more serious issues. Something like a timing belt replacement can be a low-cost replacement, but if this is neglected it can blow your engine.
• Performance/Convenience: A minor oil leak or a noisy component might be something you can live with temporarily, but it could worsen over time.

Give us a call and let us know what problems you’re having and we can often help you prioritize over the phone.
