Cost is only part of the relationship
Membership changes planning priority and the pricing relationship. It does not mean nonmembers cannot receive service.
Member path
Plan-level priority without the new nonmember hold. Elite includes 10 eligible labor hours included per membership year; everything in core; highest priority and concierge communication.
Pay-as-you-go path
Every request is acknowledged immediately. New nonmember requests enter the disclosed 48-hour planning hold. A released appointment may be reserved now when it begins at or after the hold boundary; service and dispatch wait until the hold ends and remain subject to capacity, parts, safety, and eligibility.
Both paths
Both receive immediate safety screening, written estimates, authorization controls, secure payment, and a service record. Parts and repair work are not unlimited or free.
This is an educational illustration using current standard annual membership prices, published hourly labor rates, Elite's 10 included eligible labor hours, one selected parts range, $75 supplies per occurrence, and $75 nonmember travel per occurrence. It applies 30% lower parts and supply costs for members and $0 member travel. It excludes promotions, fixed-price diagnostics, bundles, minimum-charge effects, taxes, towing, outside vendors, third-party charges, downtime, and any repair a proactive visit may or may not prevent.
The model starts with all 10 Elite hours available. Actual Elite estimates must use the remaining included-hour balance in the client's current membership year. Actual parts prices may fall outside these planning ranges; the inspected vehicle, verified supplier pricing, written membership terms, and signed estimate control the final amount.
It is not a diagnosis, written estimate, invoice, warranty, insurance product, prediction, or promise of savings. Vehicle intake, inspection findings, current parts availability, and the written estimate control actual service price. Read the service access terms.
