Visitor & Driver Tips
If you are dropping off a vehicle outside standard working hours, ensure you arrange key drop procedures in advance with the service office. Heavy farm equipment and commercial truck traffic frequently travel on US-61 and adjacent access roads, so exercise caution when decelerating onto North Oak Lane. Always park within designated service customer bays to maintain clear thoroughfares for tow vehicles and shop repair bays.
