Here at Big Sky Crash Repair Center,...

What You Need to Know about Vehicle Warranties Did your last vehicle come with a warranty?  If you purchased it new, then it’s likely that it came with some sort of warranty; whether it covers the engine, the electronics, the drive train, or everything is something you likely worked out with the dealership.

Some Collision Repair Myths Die Hard Most people don’t get into car accidents all that often.  It’s not as though we are actively out there trying to smash up our vehicles!  But on the chance that they do happen, there are some myths that have persisted over the years.  These were passed down by word of mouth through the years, perhaps twisting what was once a truth into something completely wrong.
