Sometimes, a check engine light can take days to diagnose, if after $50 or 30 minutes diagnose, we feel that the problem is too complex and it may cost you well over $100 to diagnose, we will stop at $50 and let you choose: 1, lose $50 and try somebody else, 2. stick with us without knowing how many more hours that you have to pay to figure out or not figure out the problem.

When you know exactly what parts you need, you can save money by buying them directly from local part store, please provide them VIN number, year, make and model of your vehicle.
But:
1. Unless you explicitly ask and pay for the diagnose, we just replace the parts that you bring in, please don't blame us if such replacement doesn't fix your problem.
2. You have to pay for the labor again if the part goes bad.
3. Please presents all the paperwork for the part to the mechanic and let him verify 90% accuracy of the part, if after he dissembles the car and find out part doesn't match, you either quickly get replacement part or pay for the labor of reassembling.
The parts purchased by us has a mark up to cover the risk of going bad---this is like an insurance, a little bit surcharge from all parts to cover the accidental bad ones.
The parts purchased by us also has a mark up to cover our time in calling around, ordering and servicing that part.
