There seems to be a common misconception among many that if you have an aftermarket/extended warranty, that your car, truck, SUV or Jeep must be taken to a dealership. This is not true. Non-dealership / Independent Automotive repair shops can service and repair your new or UNDER WARRANTY/EXTENDED WARRANTY. As a positive, at our shop you can get fast service and work with highly trained technicians! We'd love to take care of your vehicle for you and can do so right here at our automotive shop. Repairs by highly rated and trained automotive technicians with dealer rated diagnostic tools, at BETTER PRICING by a shop that knows you!

It is a law that independent automotive repairs shops can maintain and service your warranty. All consumers are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, that is enforced by Federal Trade Commission (FTC). It prohibits a manufacturer from voiding the new vehicles warranty or a vehicles extended warranty because service was performed by a Non-Dealer/Independent Repair shop.

Per the FTC, “It's illegal for a dealer to deny your warranty coverage simply because you had warranty work or routine maintenance or repairs performed by our automotive shop. Routine maintenance can include anything from oil changes, tire rotations and belt replacement, to fluid checks, flushes, new brake pads and inspections.” It is also important to note that the “Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for a company to void your warranty or deny coverage under the warranty for the simple cause that you used an aftermarket or recycled part.”

One of the major perks to bringing your vehicle to an independent repair shop is the ability to make your money go further. Many times, warranties will have a limit or a deductible. Our goal is to make your warranty work for you.

Lastly, If you are on the fence about whether or not to purchase an AFTERMARKET or EXTENDED warranty. We suggest opening a savings account for your car and putting back money for possible breakdowns. While warranties are great the limitations can sometimes outweigh the benefits.

Whichever option you may choose we will be there for you every step of the way! We look forward to taking care of your new or under extended/aftermarket warranty, car, truck, SUV or Jeep right here. Give us a call today!

I have been a customer at Dennis Road Automotive for as long as I can remember. With the help of these knowledgeable and friendly guys, we are able to keep our cars for a long time. You may be able to find it cheaper- but at Dennis Road Auto, you can know that it was done right, fairly and that they will stand behind their work. I have sent lots of friends and family there, and everyone becomes a happy, regular customer. It is so nice to have honest mechanics... now I just need an honest dentist! - Kim R.

I have worked with James and his guys for four years. These guys are great. No fluff, they tell it like it is and go out of their way to take of the customer. Very impressed! - Scott Y.

We have been using Dennis Road Automotive for several years. We have always found them to be honest and reliable. We have recently moved to Terrell, Tx and we still drive in to Dallas to use them. Recently my air conditioning went out in my Expedition. We dropped it off and they worked it in and had it going in two days. They made sure to replace the needed parts and checked the entire system to make sure everything else is in working order. I told them it had overheated as well. They checked the oil and told me to use a different oil that would be better for my older Expedition. I told them that I would use it next time I changed the oil. They change the oil for free to make sure it all in working order. They consistently go above and beyond "typical" service to be the best. We will keep driving an hour into Dallas to use them. -Linda T

This is my new repair shop after some of my car guy friends took me away from a dealership due to high costs for repairs. My repair was half the price of the dealership and works on custom/classic cars. I think my 1999 Deville covers that area. Great people, great service at Dennis Road Automotive in Dallas Texas. A win/win for all! - Joan F Jones, Facebook Review June 23rd.
