Questions people ask
Why choose Labor Only for extended warranty work instead of a dealership?
Labor Only handles all extended warranty communication and approval so customers avoid dealership markup. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, repairs at independent shops like Labor Only don't void manufacturer or extended warranties. They use quality parts and certified technicians, often with pricing 20–30% lower than dealer quotes.
What should I do if my check engine light comes on?
Call Labor Only for a free check engine light code scan. They'll read your vehicle's diagnostics computer, explain what the codes mean, and provide an estimate for any repairs needed. Many issues are minor; a free scan pinpoints what's actually wrong.
Do you have weekend or evening hours?
Labor Only is open Monday–Friday 8am–6pm and closed Saturday and Sunday. For urgent repairs, contact them early in the week; many jobs are completed same-day if parts are local.
