MASTER TECH AUTOMOTIVE WARRANTY PROVISIONS

Master Tech Automotive (MTA) TUNE-UP AND DIAGNOSTIC WARRANTY
We warrant the parts and labor on your tune-up for 12 months or 12,000 miles (12/12) after the date of the tune-up, whichever comes first.  During that time we will repair or replace, at our option, any failed or defective parts that we installed as part of the tune- up. The only parts installed as part of the basic tune-up are spark plugs.

Part of our tune-up service is a tune-up verification procedure.  If this procedure reveals other problems, which, in our opinion, render a tune-up ineffective, we will tell you.  At this point, upon your approval, we will perform a diagnostic analysis, charged on an agreed price, to determine the nature of the problem, and will advise you of the services needed to resolve the problem, and the costs. Any parts and required labor installed as a result of this diagnosis will be covered under this warrant for 12/12. If you choose not to have the diagnostic analysis performed then you will be charged only for the tune-up verification procedure. If you request the spark plugs to be installed after identification of problems which, in our opinion render a tune-up ineffective then we will install them under a “no warranty/no refund” condition. If the tune-up verification procedure reveals that a tune-up will correct the problem then the cost of the tune-up verification procedure is applied towards the tune-up

There is no warranty on diagnostic services. Diagnosis is only a snap shot in time of the performance of the vehicle at the time of the diagnosis and is only a “best guess” at that time based on an accumulation of pertinent data gather by using diagnostic equipment and experience of the technician. If after performance of a diagnostic service by MTA, some one else performs any work or service on the vehicle, all warranties will be void. MTA will not warrant services performed by any one else.

MTA LIMITED WARRANTY FOR BRAKE SERVICES
We warrant the parts and labor on brake repair service for 12 months or 12,000 miles after the date of original service, whichever come first?  During that time we will repair or replace, at our option any failed or defective parts that we originally sold and installed as part of the service.  Brake shoes and disc brake pads will be considered worn out when the minimum wearable thickness of the lining is below 25% of the original pad or shoe thickness. If parts are replaced, only parts of the same quality will be provided under warranty.

Brake pads contain metallic particles that can cause brakes to squeak, no brake warranty applies to squeaking brake pads or shoes, which contain metallic materials. Auto manufactures state that in most cases squeaking brakes are a normal condition and represent no safety or mechanical concern. Because lower grade aftermarket brake pads are made of lower quality semi-metallic materials they often squeak. Premimum brakes pads will be recommended on every brake service that requires brake pads. If premium pads are declined the brake pads will not be warranted against squeaking.

We do not warrant rotors after machining.

Part of our brake service is a brake inspection.  If the inspection reveals other mechanical problems, which, in our opinion, will prevent us from restoring your brake system to its proper condition, we will tell you so.  If you do not want to proceed with the brake service, including the recommended additional repairs, there will be a charge for the inspection.  If you want to proceed with the brake service without performing all the recommended repairs, we will do so, but the repairs will be performed under a “no warranty/no refund” condition.  If within 30 days of the inspection you return the vehicle to the MTA and choose to have the entire recommend repair performed, your brakes repairs will be warranted for 12/12.

When performing warranty service, we must restore the brake system to its prior condition for safe operation of the vehicle.  In some cases, this may require additional non-warranty parts or labor.  We will let you know if there will be any charge for this.  If you do not authorize the additional required parts and labor, our warranty service will void.

MTA LIMITED WARRANTY FOR AIR-CONDITIONING (AC) SERVICES AND DIAGNOSIS

We warrant the parts and labor on air-conditioning service which were identified as part of a MTA AC diagnostic service for 3 months or 3,000 miles after the date of the service, whichever come first.  If the AC diagnosis reveals condition that you choose not to repair but still request other AC services to be performed, these request and performed services will be performed under a “no warranty” and “no refund” condition. Due the unpredictable nature of air conditioning systems that have failed or are working improperly, we at MTA can only warranty the labor and parts that we perform and install as a result of an AC diagnosis. We are not responsible for parts that we did not install, such as hoses, valves, compressors, condensers, fittings, evaporators, switches, and clutches that fail after we have brought the system up to working condition and pressures. Freon addition only service is a no warranty, no refund service.
