Visitor & Driver Tips

Patrons scheduling vehicle drop-offs outside standard business hours should confirm key-drop procedures with the service counter in advance. While parking is complimentary for customers, space priority is given to active repair jobs and shop visitors; prolonged overnight parking should always be coordinated directly with the management to ensure staff have clear access to the workshop bays. When approaching from Highway 59, keep an eye out for local agricultural machinery during peak planting and harvest seasons.
