Questions we get asked
Do I lose the manufacturer's warranty if I don't go to the dealer?
No. With equivalent-quality parts and the service logged, the warranty stands. We stamp the book or log it digitally.
Can I bring my own part?
You can, but then the part warranty is the seller's, not ours. We say so clearly beforehand.
What if you find something else once it's open?
We stop, take a photo and call you. You decide.
