What Is Responsible Auto Ownership?
Our lives revolve around the automobile. In fact, Americans are the most car-centric people on the planet! We typically live long distances from where we work, play, shop, vacation and take of critical needs such as health care. A loss of our means of transportation typically brings our lives to a screeching halt! We demand of those who provide transportation to operate in a safe and efficient manner; however, sometimes we get caught up in life and neglect our cars’ most basic needs. The most efficient and cost effective way to nearly eliminate the possibility of a breakdown is to commit to preventative maintenance and regular inspections of your automobile. This responsible approach to car ownership helps ensure that you keep your life and your loved ones lives moving forward without a hitch. Responsible ownership is enabled by five key elements as described below.
Modern vehicles are exceptionally complex and integrated machines. Determining the root cause of any issue takes a great deal of sophisticated equipment and disciplined, technical minds. The days of being able to put a hand on the hood and know what’s wrong are long behind us. A common misconception is that auto repair facilities simply plug the car into a computer and that computer tells them exactly what is wrong. While shops do use computers to access Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) and other forms of data, these tools simply compliment other tools necessary to get to the bottom of an issue. Often, even the most sophisticated, $20,000 scan tool can only realize there is an issue and not what’s causing the issue. Great technicians spend the time, effort and discipline necessary to review all probable failure mechanism and work to determine and validate a root cause. The most valuable skillset a great technician brings to the table is his/her ability to determine with a great deal of certainty WHAT is causing an issue. For the customer, there’s nothing more frustrating than having to pay to repair and issue twice because a shop rushed to conclusions. This is why Admiral offers a warranty not only on their work and parts but also the diagnostics. You should never have to pay for a bad guess!
After the root cause of an issue have been identified and verified, working towards an absolute solution is the most efficient and cost effective way to ensure that issue well not come back. This means looking beyond the component that failed and identifying why the component failed and what that failure did to supporting components. Nearly all components in your automobile work together with other components to perform a desired function. Running a component to failure causes great stress on supporting components and reduces their lifetime and efficiency. We always look at the issue as a whole and offer the most comprehensive solution to prevent reoccurrence. Accepting this absolute solution is an important element for our lifetime warranty. We feel you should never have to pay for an incomplete solution.
Using quality parts as needed by the absolute solution further reduces the risk of reoccurrence. We strive to use parts that meet or exceed the OEM’s standards and source those parts from distributors who are committed to fair pricing and support. Sometimes this means having to spend a little extra time getting the right part delivered. We want the right part, not the right-now part. Well-designed, quality parts often reduce the risk and installation time required to correct your issue. It is possible that with even the best parts, your issue could reoccur. This is why we offer a lifetime warranty on a super majority of the parts we install. We feel you shouldn’t have to pay for the same part twice.
The most effective way to insure your vehicle does not unexpectantly leave you stranded is through the adoption of preventative maintenance and regular inspections. Preventative maintenance and inspections are the primary mechanisms that critical, complex things like commercial aircraft and powerplants rarely experience an unplanned failure. Our automobiles are just as important to our lives as the electricity in our homes. While a breakdown in your automobile isn’t as serious as that of a commercial airliner, it still creates a great deal of impact and can be a major safety issue. (Imagine breaking down on I-25 during rush hour or losing brakes on Eisenhower!). Many of the most reliable automobile brands are not the result of superior engineering or parts quality but rather through the manufacture’s focus and enabling mechanisms for preventative maintenance. It may be annoying to budget maintenance on your vehicle when it appears to be working fine; however, preventative maintenance and early identification of issues is the safest, most efficient and cheapest way to own your vehicle, airplane or power plant.
Finally, to reward the responsible owner, Admiral Auto offers their exclusive lifetime warranty on a super majority of work completed under Five-Star service. We are so confident it is the best, most efficient and trouble-free means to own a vehicle, we back it with the ultimate warranty. It’s simple, you will never have to pay for the same thing twice when you trust Admiral Auto to take care of your automobile’s service needs.
