Before you visit
Good questions.
Straight answers.
A little clarity makes the next step easier.
What mechanical concerns can I bring to Trends?
Contact us about warning lights, starting or driving concerns, brakes, steering, suspension, and routine service needs. Include your vehicle details so we can confirm the appropriate next step and service availability.
What should I tell you about a warning light?
Tell us which light appeared, whether it is steady or flashing, and any changes in how the vehicle runs. Note when it began and any recent repairs. We will discuss an inspection before recommending work.
Will you contact me before doing additional work?
We review the findings and proposed work with you. If the inspection reveals additional concerns, those can be discussed separately from the work already approved.
Can mechanical work be part of a collision repair?
Yes. An impact can affect components beyond the visible body damage. Relevant mechanical concerns can be assessed as part of the vehicle’s overall repair plan.
What should I bring to my visit?
Bring your vehicle details, a description of the concern, and any useful service history. For intermittent issues, notes about speed, temperature, or when the symptom occurs can help the assessment.
