ARCTIC PERFORMANCE.

Maintenance Frequency

How often should I change my oil in the Alaskan winter?

expand_more

In extreme cold, oil viscosity breaks down faster. We recommend synthetic oil changes every 5,000 miles or every 6 months—whichever comes first. For vehicles used in heavy towing or prolonged idling, consider a 3,000-mile interval to ensure tectonic stability in your engine block.

Do you offer pre-winter fluid inspections?

Absolutely. Our Winter Readiness Package includes testing coolant freeze points, battery health (CCA), and fluid viscosity. This is critical for preventing catastrophic failures when temperatures drop below zero.

Warranty Coverage

What is the Expressway Auto "Tectonic Guarantee"?

expand_more

Every service performed at Expressway Auto is backed by our 24-month/24,000-mile warranty. This covers both parts and labor, ensuring that our repairs hold up against the most rugged Alaskan terrain.

Will aftermarket parts void my manufacturer warranty?

expand_more

Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer cannot void your warranty just because you used an aftermarket part or had service done by an independent shop. We ensure all parts meet or exceed OEM specifications to protect your vehicle's status.

Appointment Policies

What is your cancellation policy?

expand_more

We require at least 24 hours notice for cancellations. This allows us to keep our technicians' schedules optimized. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice may be subject to a scheduling fee.

Do you offer shuttle services or loaner cars?

expand_more

For all major services (exceeding 4 hours), we provide complimentary loaner vehicles. We also offer a local shuttle service within a 15-mile radius of the shop between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
