Students & parents
Away at College in Lynchburg? We Treat Your Student's Car Like Our Own.
Sending your student to Liberty, University of Lynchburg, Randolph, CVCC, or Sweet Briar means their car is far from home and from the mechanic you trust. We test before we replace, send photos and readings to a phone, and tell you honestly what is safe to wait on, all backed 36 months / 36,000 miles. Drivers rate us 4.8 stars across 138 Google reviews.
What to expect
What you get as a student or parent
- You see the proof, not just a bill: photos to a phone you can forward to a parent, with line-by-line approve or decline.
- We call before we touch anything, so there are no surprise charges.
- We tell you what is safe to wait on, so a student budget goes to what matters.
- You can approve and pay from anywhere, which matters when home is a few hours away.
- Repair now and pay over time with Sunbit, Affirm, Klarna, Koalafi, or Kafene. The Sunbit soft check will not affect credit.
- A Semester Safe-Trip Inspection about a week before a long drive: tires, brakes, battery, fluids, belts and hoses, wipers, and lights.
- 10 percent off for students with a valid ID from any area school.
Answers
Common questions
- Can I approve and pay for my student's repair from out of town?
- Yes. We send photos and readings to a phone, explain the findings in plain English, and you can approve or decline each line and pay from anywhere. Nothing gets done without a yes.
- Do students get a break on price?
- Yes. Students get 10 percent off with a valid ID from any area school. Just show it when you drop off.
- Can my student drop the car off and get updates by text?
- Yes. Drop-off is easy, and we send inspection photos and updates to a phone so both the student and a parent can follow along.
- What is a Semester Safe-Trip Inspection?
- It is a quick pre-trip check about a week before a long drive home: tires, brakes, battery, fluids, belts and hoses, wipers, and lights, so small problems surface before the highway.
- Do you offer financing?
- Yes. You can repair now and pay over time with Sunbit, Affirm, Klarna, Koalafi, or Kafene. The Sunbit soft check will not affect credit.
