It's also very important to your Bloomington service center to keep you happy and on the road. You might be surprised at the amount of money our Bloomington auto service center spends annually to make sure our friendly and knowledgeable technicians are properly trained.

Tuffy Bloomington offers a variety of automotive services for many kinds of vehicles. We need to be current on the latest techniques and parts so that we can give you quality service. Our Bloomington service centers subscribe to data services that list the high quality parts and fluids recommended by your manufacturer.

And each service has a checklist of standard procedures. Tuffy Bloomington technicians follow these procedures so they can safely deliver a consistent level of high-quality service.

Some services at Tuffy Bloomington require the use of specialized equipment. Tuffy Bloomington technicians are trained extensively on this equipment so that they can service your car quickly and efficiently.

Classroom, video and hands-on training is provided by the company and outside trainers. It's not only important that friendly and knowledgeable technicians be able to perform a given task, they also need to be thoroughly trained in inspection and diagnostic techniques. One of the great services they perform is to detect potential problems before they become serious.

The automotive service industry has standards for classifying and communicating problems. For example, it's one thing to learn that your manufacturer recommends that you change your serpentine belt every 30,000 miles/48,000 km and another to learn that the belt is on the verge of failure. These standards help you understand the urgency of recommendations, letting you make better automotive service decisions.
