So grateful for the knowledgeable people at Motorworks NW! I was having several problems with my Tahoe....My Speedometer stopped working and my heater had 2 settings.... Off and On(high) and a there was a weird knocking noise from under my hood. Teri at the front desk was able to get me in very quickly and Ken was able to figure out the problem right away. I was happy that I got a full diagnostic and an idea of what need to be fixed the most urgently. I didn't feel pressure to do more then I was comfortable with and I was able to do what I can. Thank you for all you did! We will be back for sure. - Lisa F (5 star review found on Yelp)

Took a pre-owned car to these guys for a pre-purchase inspection. I found them by doing an internet search because I'm not a local. They were nothing but helpful. They were able to get my car into their schedule without a problem, went over the car in the parking lot with me, pointing out potential problems and areas to look out for, and did a thorough inspection of the car on the lift. Both of the owners were there and I liked them.
I would send all of my business here confidently if I lived nearby. - Jeremy C. (5 star review found on Yelp)

Always fair and always honest. Motorworks is the best place to get your vehicle worked on hands down!!! I've been bringing my vehicles here for 13 years and never had anything but sound advice. Thanks! - Tonya M (5 star review found on Yelp)

There seems to be a common misconception among many that if you have an aftermarket/extended warranty, that your car, truck, SUV or Jeep must be taken to a dealership. This is not true. Non-dealership / Independent Automotive repair shops can service and repair your new or UNDER WARRANTY/EXTENDED WARRANTY. As a positive, at our shop you can get fast service and work with highly trained technicians! We'd love to take care of your vehicle for you and can do so right here at our automotive shop. Repairs by highly rated and trained automotive technicians with dealer rated diagnostic tools, at BETTER PRICING by a shop that knows you!

It is a law that independent automotive repairs shops can maintain and service your warranty. All consumers are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, that is enforced by Federal Trade Commission (FTC). It prohibits a manufacturer from voiding the new vehicles warranty or a vehicles extended warranty because service was performed by a Non-Dealer/Independent Repair shop.

Per the FTC, “It's illegal for a dealer to deny your warranty coverage simply because you had warranty work or routine maintenance or repairs performed by our automotive shop. Routine maintenance can include anything from oil changes, tire rotations and belt replacement, to fluid checks, flushes, new brake pads and inspections.” It is also important to note that the “Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for a company to void your warranty or deny coverage under the warranty for the simple cause that you used an aftermarket or recycled part.”

One of the major perks to bringing your vehicle to an independent repair shop is the ability to make your money go further. Many times, warranties will have a limit or a deductible. Our goal is to make your warranty work for you.

Lastly, If you are on the fence about whether or not to purchase an AFTERMARKET or EXTENDED warranty. We suggest opening a savings account for your car and putting back money for possible breakdowns. While warranties are great the limitations can sometimes outweigh the benefits.

Whichever option you may choose we will be there for you every step of the way! We look forward to taking care of your new or under extended/aftermarket warranty, car, truck, SUV or Jeep right here. Give us a call today!
