By prior arrangement cars may be left for after-hours pickup with keys
in a safe location. Otherwise, all vehicles visiting JE Robison Service
overnight are secured in one of two fenced enclosures or within the
building.

area dropping off cars before 9AM or returning between 4 and 5PM. Pick
up and delivery and courtesy rides at other times should be arranged
as needed with our office.

service area includes Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin counties in Massachusetts,
Windham county Vermont and Hartford county Connecticut. 24-hour towing
in these area is also available by calling (413) 785 1665 and following
the prompts. Towing and pickup from other locations is available and

of payment
We accept Discover, MasterCard, VISA, American Express, and personal
or business checks for payment. Checks are subject to verification by
Telecheck.
Labor
charges and rates
Labor rates at JE Robison Service range from $32 per hour to $98 per
hour, depending upon the type of service performed. Most general service
is performed at a rate of $89 per hour. Most labor at JE Robison Service
is charged on an actual-time-worked basis. That is, you
are charged for the time our technician actually spends working on your
car rather than a standard guidebook time. Labor for certain common
services such as oil changes or brake pad replacement is charged on
a flat-rate basis. This means you are charged a fixed amount
for the service no matter how long it takes.
Warranty
information
As an authorized Bosch Service center, all Bosch Automotive Electric,
Electronic Fuel Injection and Diesel Fuel Injection repair parts are
covered by Bosch 12 month unlimited mileage warranty. If there is a
problem with such a part you can obtain warranty service here or at
any authorized Bosch service center in the United States. For more details
visit this Bosch
web page.
All new and rebuilt mechanical repair parts — including rebuilt engines,
powertrain components, electronics, and other components sold
and installed by us are guaranteed for 12 months or 12,000 miles from
the date of installation. Your vehicle must be returned to JE Robison Service
for performance of any warranty repairs. If such a part proves defective
we will replace it at no charge to you.
Repair parts are defined as parts of the vehicle that are not serviced
or replaced on a periodic basis. Examples of repair parts are: alternators,
brake calipers, power window motors or drive shafts. Consumable parts
are not warranted because their service life is generally dependent
upon other components of the vehicle. Examples of consumable parts are:
oil, air filters, brake pads, spark plugs, and windshield wiper blades.
Consumable parts do have manufacturer warranty against defects at the
time of installation, and certain consumable parts such as batteries
and tires have special manufacturer warranties. Contact your service
advisor for details on such warranties. Your vehicle must be returned
to Robison Service for performance of any warranty repairs.
Adjustments, cleaning services, or repairs to existing components are
excluded from warranty. Trim and accessory items are not warranted by
us, but may come with manufacturer warranty.
Used parts sold and installed by us are installed with 30-day parts-onlywarranty.
That is, we will exchange the part if it proves defective but you will
be charged labor for installation of the replacement. Your vehicle must
be returned to Robison Service for performance of any warranty repairs.
