What Apex Services

Every make. Every powertrain. Every Apex location.

Hourly labor rate: $145/hr group-wide. Commercial fleet rate: $128/hr per the SLA. Service quality and pricing identical across all five locations.

Apex services every domestic, Japanese, Korean, and European make, plus hybrid and EV. The OE diagnostic equipment we invest in for every platform is the same at every location. The labor rate is the same. The parts markup is the same. You can drop your car at any of the five locations and the service quality is identical.

Service appointments are recommended but walk-ins are welcomed. Most diagnostic work begins within 24 hours of drop-off; standard repair turnaround is 48-72 hours from estimate authorization. Fleet customers are subject to the Apex Fleet Solutions SLA (4-hour estimate, 24-hour turnaround on standard repairs).
