Why ranges, and why honest ones

The same repair is a different price on a compact than on a three quarter ton, which is why anyone quoting one number without seeing the vehicle is rounding somewhere. What follows are the repairs folks ask about most, what each one includes here, and what moves the price inside the range. Call with the year and make and the range narrows to a number, usually the same business day.

From the counterEvery range above assumes quality parts and our one year workmanship warranty. The estimate you get before work begins is the number you pay, and if the job turns out smaller once we are in there, the number goes down, not up.
