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.

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.
