About Valleypro Autohouse
Auto repair shops earn repeat business less on price than on whether the explanation for the bill makes sense. Valleypro Autohouse works on that basis at 158 Old Vernon Road, on the northeast side of Rutland where the streets begin giving way to open ground, sharing its site with one other business.
Choosing a shop gets easier if you ask the same handful of questions everywhere. Find out whether diagnostic time is charged separately and whether it comes off the bill if you go ahead with the work. Ask for the estimate in writing, ask what warranty covers the parts and the labour and for how long, and ask whether original equipment or aftermarket components will be fitted, because the price gap is real and so is the difference in how long a part lasts. If the car is your only way to work, raise the question of a courtesy vehicle or a ride when you book rather than on the morning. Bookings go through 250-870-8339, and valleyproauto.com is there as well.
Vehicles in the Okanagan get pushed from both ends of the thermometer. Long dry stretches of heat are hard on cooling systems, batteries and air conditioning, and they age rubber and hoses faster than a coastal climate does. Winter down on the valley floor is short and more grey than white, but anyone climbing to the subdivisions above Rutland and Black Mountain, or heading out over the passes, wants proper winter tires rather than optimism. Both changeovers create a rush, so book a seasonal swap a couple of weeks before everyone else remembers.
