Google Edgar Dominguez 5/5 ★★★★★

“Luis service is totally dependable. He has great customer service and high quality work for a fair price. Since I've found him, I no longer go to the dealership for the same type of work that he can handle.”

Google GMAR RR 5/5 ★★★★★

“…he will not give you a diagnostic until he is 100% sure. We paid $2,500 with another mechanic for just guessing. You won't get that with Gonzalez.”

Our repair warranty

1 year or 12,000 miles, unless stated otherwise. It starts on the repair date and ends when one year or 12,000 miles has passed, whichever comes first. It's written on your invoice.

What's covered

Coverage depends on the repair. Ask which parts and labor are covered before you approve the work.

“Unless stated otherwise”

Some jobs or parts carry a different term. We tell you about any exception before you approve the work. If we don't state a different term, the standard 1 year or 12,000 miles applies.

What's not covered

Customer-supplied parts and the labor to install them. A new symptom, or a concern in a different system, is inspected first to see whether it relates to the original repair.

How to use it

Call the shop and tell us what the car is doing. Bring any paperwork from the original repair. Luis handles warranty questions himself.
