Automotive News & Information - Clower Automotive

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 repairs shops can maintain and service your warranty. All consumers are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, that is enforced by Federal Trade Commission (FTC). It prohibits a manufacturer from voiding the new vehicles warranty or a vehicles 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 to 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!

Want to thank them for an excellent job in getting us back on the road again with our truck and RV. Even though they were very busy they fit us in, repaired us with what could have been a catastrophic equipment failure and did it at a very reasonable price. We got home intact and in time for new grand sons to be born. - Randy W.

Clower Automotive went above and beyond to get our SUV back on the road after a breakdown while traveling through Tennessee. They used their connections to locate the power train component we needed, drove out of state to get the best value component, installed and tested it all in one day to get us back on the road! They even shuttled me to their shop to pick it up. Ron, Matt, Travis - thanks for your extra efforts. Clower Automotive was recommended by the tow company - they provide trustworthy service. - Scott L.

CLOWER Automotive went above and beyond to get my SUV back on the road after a breakdown while traveling through Tennessee.

Was headed back from bird hunting trip and fuel pump died just north of Manchester, TN. Found info on Clower Automotive online, called and they got us a tow to shop. Put us right into repair mode within few hours had us back on the road. While repairs being done Ron gave us keys to his personal vehicle so we could grab lunch. These folks are honest as the day is long. If you are in the area and need auto repairs go see these folks. Thank you for going above and beyond.

They have always given me a true estimate on repairs and they are always on the money or less and are always done on time or sooner. Every repair is explained as to why it needs or should be done. The whole team goes out of their way to make you feel good about leaving your car in their hands. I have taken my vehicle to other shops and felt I have been ripped off by not fixing it saying they did or used cheap and bad quality parts. Clowers Automotive is the only one I trust to truly fix my vehicle here in Manchester TN. Review by V.F. in Yelp
