For another make or a specialized repair, call first to confirm that the department can help.
Is my appointment confirmed when I submit a request?
Follow the confirmation instructions in the scheduling tool. If you have not received confirmation, contact your selected service department before making the trip. Tell the team whether you plan to wait or drop off your vehicle, and ask about the expected time needed for your visit.
What information should I provide?
Have your vehicle's year, make, model, approximate mileage and VIN available. Describe the service you need or the concern you have noticed, including when it happens. Bring relevant maintenance records and any warranty or service-contract documents you want the team to review.
Can I arrange transportation or an after-hours drop-off?
Call your selected department before your appointment to discuss drop-off arrangements and transportation needs. Availability and instructions may vary; please confirm arrangements directly with the team.
Maintenance and repairs
How often does my vehicle need an oil change or other maintenance?
Use the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual and any applicable vehicle maintenance reminders. The correct interval depends on the model, engine, age, mileage and how you use the vehicle. Tell your advisor about towing, short trips or other driving conditions so the team can help identify the applicable schedule.
When should coolant, spark plugs, filters or other fluids be replaced?
There is no single replacement interval that fits every vehicle. Check the manufacturer's schedule for your specific vehicle and review its service history. Your advisor can help distinguish work that is due by time or mileage from items that need an inspection before a recommendation.
Can I get an estimate before repairs?
Ask your service advisor about the diagnostic process, any diagnostic charge and how estimates and authorization will be handled. Describe your concern as clearly as possible. Some repairs require inspection before the team can provide an estimate or confirm parts availability.
What should I tell the team about a warning light or unusual noise?
Note the exact dashboard message, when the issue started and whether it happens during starting, braking, turning or another driving condition. Refer to your owner's manual for the warning and contact the service department for guidance about the next step. Do not assume a warning light is simply a routine maintenance reminder.
Warranty and service records
Is my repair covered by a warranty or service contract?
Coverage depends on the vehicle, the specific issue and the terms of the applicable warranty or service contract. Have your VIN, mileage and coverage documents ready so the team can review them. Ask about deductibles, exclusions and any authorization requirements before work begins. Coverage cannot be confirmed from a general FAQ.
Does a used vehicle still have warranty coverage?
Coverage varies by vehicle. Ask the sales or service team to review the vehicle's remaining factory coverage and any separate written warranty or service contract. Refer to the documents provided with that vehicle for its actual coverage; do not assume every pre-owned vehicle has the same warranty.
Which maintenance records should I keep?
Keep dated invoices that show the mileage, work performed and parts or fluids used. Bring those records when discussing maintenance history or a coverage question. Follow the maintenance requirements in your owner's manual and applicable coverage documents.
Tires, winter preparation and parts
Can you help me plan for Wisconsin winter driving?
Ask about an inspection of your tires, battery, wipers and other seasonal maintenance items. The team can discuss tire choices for your vehicle and driving needs around Barron, Rice Lake, Chetek and Cumberland. Use your vehicle manufacturer's specifications when selecting tires, fluids and replacement components.
What information do I need to request a part?
Your VIN is the best starting point for checking fitment. Include the year, make, model, part description and any part number you have. Let the parts team know whether you need pickup or installation, and confirm price, availability and the applicable return policy before ordering.
You can also call the appropriate store listed above.
