Three things to do before your visit. Call ahead to confirm the service is offered and to schedule an appointment if needed. Routine work like oil changes and tire rotations usually accept walk-ins. Brake jobs, alignment, and any larger repair typically need an appointment, especially Friday and Saturday. Ask for a written estimate before any work begins. Reputable shops put parts, labor hours, and labor rate on separate line items. Walk away from any shop that refuses. Bring service records or your owner manual for vehicles past 60,000 miles. The technician benefits from knowing the recent service history.
