The Castro Valley Dealership Alternative: Keep Your Warranty Intact
Buying a new car is a massive investment, and protecting your factory warranty is incredibly important. However, many dealerships rely on high-pressure scare tactics to convince drivers that they must return to the dealer for every single oil change and brake job, or their warranty will be voided.
This is completely false. At Boulevard Auto, we provide dealership-level maintenance and repair for drivers across Castro Valley, San Leandro, and Hayward. We save you from inflated dealership prices while keeping your factory warranty 100% valid and intact.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act: Your Right to Choose
You are legally protected from dealership monopolies. Under federal law—specifically the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C))—it is illegal for a manufacturer or dealer to void your warranty simply because you chose an independent repair shop for your regular maintenance.
As long as the service is performed correctly and according to the manufacturer's recommended intervals, you have the absolute right to take your vehicle to any qualified shop you trust. Whether you need [routine fluid maintenance], a tune-up, or brake service, Boulevard Auto ensures all work strictly adheres to your manufacturer's specific factory guidelines.
Premium Parts & Zero Shortcuts
The only way an independent repair can void a warranty is if the shop uses cheap, inferior parts that directly cause a mechanical failure.
At Boulevard Auto, we never take shortcuts. We strictly utilize premium, high-quality Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts, or OEM-equivalent aftermarket parts and fluids. From exact-match synthetic oils to factory-spec spark plugs, we only use products that meet or exceed the rigorous standards set by your vehicle's manufacturer. We treat your car with the exact same care and premium components we use on our own personal vehicles.
Automatic CARFAX Reporting for Proof of Maintenance
When it comes to warranty claims, the dealership will always ask for proof that you properly maintained the vehicle. We make this completely effortless for you.
Boulevard Auto is a proud CARFAX partner shop. Every time you bring your vehicle in for a service, we automatically report the maintenance details (like mileage, fluid changes, and parts replaced) directly to your vehicle's official CARFAX history report.
-
Bulletproof Warranty Claims: If the dealership ever questions your service history, your CARFAX report provides undeniable, third-party proof that your vehicle was professionally maintained on time.
-
Higher Resale Value: A well-documented CARFAX service history significantly boosts the resale or trade-in value of your car when it is time to upgrade.
Transparent Digital Inspections
Unlike the dealership where you are kept in the dark, we believe in total transparency. Every service at Boulevard Auto includes a complimentary [digital courtesy inspection].
If you come in for [check engine light diagnostics] or a standard service, our technicians will visually inspect your entire vehicle. If we spot an issue, we take high-resolution photos and text a clear digital report right to your smartphone. You see exactly what we see, allowing you to make informed decisions about your vehicle with zero high-pressure sales tactics.
