FAQs
-
Appointments are recommended, especially during peak winter and summer seasons, but we often have openings for quick installs. Give us a call and we’ll get you scheduled.
-
Most installs take 30–90 minutes depending on the system.
-
Absolutely. Tell us what you drive and what you need to carry bikes, skis, boards, cargo, kayaks, etc. and we’ll recommend the right setup for your roof type, gear, and daily use.
-
Yes. We stock common parts like mounting hardware, lock cores, keys, straps, and brackets for Thule, Yakima, Kuat, Rhino-Rack, and more.
-
You can, but we’ll recommend best practices depending on the product. Some items like crossbars and bike trays can stay on all year. Cargo boxes and ski racks may be removed to minimize noise and drag when not in use and reduce sun damage.
-
Yes, any roof-mounted gear can affect both. We always install systems with optimal alignment and positioning to minimize noise and aerodynamic drag. Newer carriers and crossbars are designed to be much quieter.
-
Every vehicle has a different dynamic and static roof load rating. We check those numbers before recommending a system so your rack or box is safely within your vehicle’s limits.
-
Yes. All installations are covered by our workmanship guarantee, and the products themselves carry manufacturer warranties. If something doesn’t feel right after install, stop by and we’ll make it right.
-
Definitely. After installation, we give you a hands-on walkthrough: loading skis or bikes, adjusting clamps, using lock cores, and best practices for long-term use.
