Any diagnostic or inspection service, including pre-purchase inspection services provided through C&M Mobile Automotive Repairs LLC, has no warranty. This Limited Warranty does not cover any issues unrelated to the Vehicle Services ordered by you (e.g., if you order an alternator replacement because your car was not starting, and the car continues not to start after the alternator is replaced, this Limited Warranty does not cover the fact that the car does not start). It does not cover any pre-existing condition with your car that is not known by the Technician prior to starting the Vehicle Services and that is discovered during or after the Vehicle Services are performed (e.g., if you engage the Technician to replace valve cover gaskets, but during the removal of the valve covers, worn plastic hoses break because they are old and brittle; repairing and/or replacing the plastic hoses under that scenario would not be covered by this Limited Warranty). This warranty does not cover any repairs that you request the Technician perform beyond those included in the Technician’s diagnosis of the problem, even if those additional repairs are needed to fix the issue you asked the Technician to diagnose; provided, however, that if you authorize and pay for additional repairs through C&M Mobile Automotive Repairs LLC, such additional repairs would be included in the Vehicle Services and covered by this Limited Warranty. This warranty does not cover any consequential effects of the Vehicle Services performed, unrelated to any of the parts replaced being defective or any of the repair work being done incorrectly (e.g., if you request a transmission fluid service, but because you have not been replacing the transmission fluid regularly, when the Technician replaces the fluid with the correct fluid installed properly, your transmission stops shifting properly because it cannot handle the new fluid—this is a “consequential effect” not covered by this Limited Warranty). This Limited Warranty is entirely void when any parts not ordered through C&M Mobile Automotive Repairs LLC are installed by the Technician; any Vehicle Service request is made by you that deviates from a manufacturer’s recommendation (e.g., conventional oil is requested by you for an oil change, but the owner’s manual for your vehicle calls for synthetic oil). The Limited Warranty is also void if, after receiving the Vehicle Services, you take your car to a person not scheduled and processed through C&M Mobile Automotive Repairs LLC to diagnose or repair a problem believed to be associated with such Vehicle Services without giving C&M Mobile Automotive Repairs LLC the first opportunity to inspect and remedy the problem or to consent to an alternative person or shop doing so. Our oil change services include a limited warranty valid for six (6) months or 5,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty applies to non-commercial vehicles only and covers issues directly related to the oil change service provided. It does not cover any fluid leaks, engine damage, or other mechanical failures unrelated to the oil change, including but not limited to pre-existing conditions or wear and tear. For commercial vehicles, no warranty is provided, as the vehicle’s usage may exceed the design specifications and intended operating conditions.
