Computer reflashing (J2534) and Tire Pressure Monitoring

The latest auto repair issues involve programming (or reprogramming) a vehicle's computer(s), and the diagnosis and repair of the now mandated Tire Pressure Monitoring system. P.A.T. has the necessary equipment, information and experience to handle these systems.



Why do I have so many 'free' things on my repair order?

We want our customers to get a proper and professional oil change or repair on their car(s). To compete with cheap oil change places price-wise, we try to keep your costs low and pay the technician to take extra time with your car. Any work our technicians spend on your car to keep you safe that we feel is 'extra' - we mark down as "goodwill," and make a note of it on your repair order.



"I want to have P.A.T. work on my car, but it's still under warranty. I have to go to the Dealer, don't I?"

The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty act of 1975 (15 U.S.C. 2302C ) states that a warranty on any consumer product may not be contingent on the consumer using a specific product or service which is identified by brand or corporate name.

Simply stated, if a consumer is paying for the repairs (including oil changes and other maintenance services) the consumer may have any repair facility perform the repairs, with any parts the consumer wants. It is that simple.
