Automotive News & Information - Cardona's Automotive

I highly recommend this business. We were on vacation from the Houston area, when our truck needed work. Isaac went above and beyond. Very good, honest people to do business with! - Teresa M (5 star review found on Facebook)

When we left San Antonio we were apprehensive about finding another auto garage like NW Auto. Today we had to replace a battery and NAPA referred us to Cardona's for installation. We met the owner and a few others. Walked into the office, were greeted by two big lovable dogs, two very pleasant ladies, and a radio station turned to our Christian music. We have found our garage and will be using Cardona's with the same trust we were able to give our former garage. - Sandy W (5 star review found on Facebook)

Very reliable. Mr Cardona gave me a discount on labor much greater, in fact twice the amount that I have in mind. I don't have to worry of buying the parts needed for my car. Mr Cardinal did it for me thereby saving me time and money. I highly recommend his shop for dependable job and professionalism. - Melencio J (5 star reivew found on Google)

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 repair shops can maintain and service your warranty. All consumers are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). It prohibits a manufacturer from voiding the new vehicle's warranty or a vehicle's 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 of 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!
