Your first service visit is straightforward-and our team makes sure you understand everything that happens to your car.

**When You Arrive**

Check in at the Service Department counter. We'll confirm your appointment, review your vehicle's service needs, and answer any questions. If you've had concerns (unusual noises, warning lights), describe them now so our technician knows what to focus on.

**The Service**

Our certified technicians will perform your requested service-oil change, tire rotation, inspection, or repair. We use genuine OEM parts and follow manufacturer guidelines. For complex work, we'll call you with findings and ask your approval before proceeding.

**Stay Connected**

You can wait in our comfortable lounge, grab coffee, or head out and we'll call when your car is ready. We'll show you the work performed and explain any recommendations.

**Payment and Scheduling**

Before you leave, we'll discuss your invoice, answer questions, and help you schedule your next service (often a few months out, depending on mileage and maintenance needs).

**Next Steps**

Already scheduled? Arrive a few minutes early. First time visiting? Call **(877) 331-4442** to book your appointment and we'll take great care of you and your vehicle.
