When you’re looking for an auto mechanic, look for a shop that has been around for a while. A good mechanic should be able to provide you with honest advice about your vehicle.
Auto mechanics are trained professionals who diagnose problems in cars and trucks. They also perform routine maintenance on vehicles, such as oil changes and tire rotations.
Your tires should be rotated every other oil change, or every 6000 miles. Neglecting to rotate tires is a major cause of premature tire wear.

The Independent Service Center warrants the repairs and services performed to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for 36 months, or 36,000 miles of use, whichever comes first. Odometer reading and date of original repair will be used to determine eligibility. Independent Service Centers may stock different brands of merchandise by location. Each participating outlet has the right to replace a covered part with a like part of equal value. After 36 months or 36,000 miles, participating Service Centers will honor the manufacturer’s written warranty on parts replacement (labor excluded) and the manufacturer’s written policy will govern product replacement. The original invoice must be presented for the claim and must clearly bear the Protection Plus logo. You MUST keep a copy of the original receipt for the warranty to be valid.
