For those vehicles, when necessary and often, we fabricate items from scratch. On those items fabricated and installed by us, we warranty that work forever. Anything we design and install on your car has a warranty for as long as you own the vehicle.

If we are allowed to treat your vehicle you will soon notice the difference between our shop and the others.  I would appreciate the opportunity to prove that to you.

Sincerely,

Grant Burris, owner
