The Magnuson Moss Warranty Act helps ensure that having service and repair work done outside of the Subaru dealership will not void your manufacturer warranty unless it can be proven that the service performed or part installed on the vehicle resulted in failure of the warrantable item. We employ a staff of factory-trained ASE master technicians and prefer genuine Subaru parts for our repairs along with OEM parts made by the companies that supply parts to Subaru.  The Magnuson Moss Act protects you  maintaining your vehicle at home at home or having a Service performed at an Independent repair shop.

Q. What Is All Wheel Drive Auto’s Relationship to AWD Auto Sales?

A. We do some inspections, services and repairs for a used sales lot in Monroe. While we share a similar name and logo we are two separate companies.

Work performed for AWD Auto in Monroe does not have a transferable warranty.  The only warranty All Wheel Drive Auto offers is to the original purchaser.

We feel that the cars sold by AWD Auto sales have a leg up on other cars you may consider, but we cannot guarantee your experience.
