Our Warranty Promise
A Lifetime Warranty Provides Our Customers Peace of Mind
We stand behind every repair - from our in-house Lifetime Warranty to industry-leading nationwide coverage.
Lifetime Warranty - Full Details
As vehicles become more advanced and repair costs continue to rise, a solid warranty provides real peace of mind.

The TRA Lifetime Warranty is not about selling coverage—it’s about maintaining vehicles correctly and standing behind our work for the long haul.
Maintenance Standards and Requirements
TRA Maintenance Standards are intentionally more conservative than original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommendations. OEM maintenance schedules are often influenced by competing priorities such as cost‑of‑ownership marketing, warranty exposure, and regulatory targets, rather than long‑term vehicle durability.
TRA standards are based on real‑world driving conditions, modern engine and component design, and our commitment to reliability and longevity. Following this maintenance schedule is required to remain eligible for the TRA Lifetime Warranty and is designed to reduce preventable failures, extend component life, and protect our customers’ vehicles well beyond minimum OEM guidelines.
In addition, many vehicles operated in the Metro Atlanta area fall under what several OEMs classify as severe operating conditions. Heavy traffic, frequent stop‑and‑go driving, extended idling, short trip usage, high ambient temperatures, and elevated humidity all accelerate wear on fluids, filters, and critical engine components. Because these conditions are common in daily driving throughout our region, TRA maintenance intervals are intentionally adjusted to reflect real‑world use rather than ideal laboratory conditions. This approach helps ensure long‑term reliability and protects vehicles operating in environments proven to be more demanding than standard service assumptions. Please note all services are due whichever comes first: mileage or time.
