At Peak Automotive, we’ve witnessed firsthand just how shocking some vehicle repairs can be. You’d be amazed at the kinds of issues that arise with vehicles—even ones that seem like great buys. Some of the repairs we’ve done have reached upwards of $5,000 for a single fix. That’s a huge hit to any wallet, especially when it’s unexpected. And while we’re passionate about helping our customers, it’s tough to see them face such high costs without being prepared.

As a business, I have no choice but to charge for these repairs. Running a shop means covering our costs and making a profit to keep things running smoothly. But it honestly pains us when customers get blindsided by these costs. A repair bill for thousands of dollars, on top of a monthly car payment, can turn a manageable situation into a financial burden.

No Lemon Law in North Dakota: What You Need to Know

One of the most important things vehicle owners in North Dakota should understand is that our state doesn’t have a lemon law. This means when you buy a vehicle, especially a used one, it’s “buyer beware.” Once that car is yours, so are any repairs and issues that come with it. Many people don’t realize that, and we’ve seen customers purchase what they thought were great cars, only to face huge repair bills a few months down the road.

When you buy a vehicle, you’re required to sign a buyer’s guide. This guide essentially outlines the risks involved in purchasing a used vehicle. It’s there as a warning, letting you know things can go wrong—sometimes without warning. That’s why it’s so important to protect yourself from the start.

Why Service Contracts Make a Difference

This is where service contracts come into play. Service contracts are specifically designed to protect you from unexpected repair costs. They’re not just another option on the table—they’re your safety net. Without one, you could be facing thousands of dollars in repairs out of pocket. But with a service contract, those unexpected issues don’t have to be such a financial blow.

Think about it: a small upfront investment in a service contract can save you from a massive, unexpected expense down the road. It’s about preparing yourself for the unknown and making sure you’re not caught off guard by sudden repairs. We’ve seen the difference it makes for our customers who choose to protect themselves, and we strongly encourage all vehicle owners to do the same.

Protect Yourself Before It’s Too Late

We’re not just talking to Peak Automotive customers here—we’re talking to everyone. Whether you bought your car from us or somewhere else, protecting yourself with a service contract is a smart move. Don’t wait until it’s too late and you’re facing an unexpected bill that could have been avoided. Take the time to explore your options and secure peace of mind.

At Peak Automotive, we’re always here to help and answer any questions you have about service contracts or repairs. Let’s work together to keep you safe on the road—and away from those shocking repair bills!

Let’s be honest: when you bring your vehicle in for service, it’s not exactly the highlight of your day. You’re not here because you’re excited or celebrating. Instead, you’re likely facing an issue that could cost you money, and the prospect of an unexpected expense can understandably leave you feeling uneasy.

At Peak Automotive, we completely understand how stressful it can be to get your car repaired. You might be thinking, "Oh no, what is this going to cost me?" That’s the reality we’re all living in these days—vehicle repairs and services are not cheap, and sometimes that can feel overwhelming.
