Test Drive Policy

Some services and diagnostic procedures require us to test drive a vehicle before, during, or after repairs. For safety, legal compliance, and insurance reasons, Luis Lopez Automotive will only test drive vehicles that have:

  1. Current, valid vehicle registration

  2. Valid registration tags or other current operating authorization

  3. Current auto insurance

If a vehicle does not have valid registration, current tags, or active insurance, we may delay or decline service if the requested work or diagnosis may require a test drive.

Customers may email proof of current registration and insurance to hello@luislopezautomotive.com before the appointment or before repair authorization. If a vehicle needs temporary operating authorization, customers may review California DMV information, Click Here.

Luis Lopez Automotive may pause or decline service if required documentation is not received prior to a road test. All authorized work will be billed, and extended storage will result in additional charges.
