When you bring in your vehicle for service at Diehl Automotive, we want to make sure you and your family are taken care of. Many repairs are quick and we can have you back on the road doing the things you love most that same day. Others can take longer - whether due to parts needed, length of repair, etc. Big repairs can be extremely frustrating and stressful. To help alleviate your stress, Diehl is proud to offer rental vehicles to our customers. While we're hard at work repairing your vehicle, you're able to go about your day the way you want instead of sitting in our waiting area watching Judge Judy. Keep in mind, we love Judy and if you want to sit and watch Judy all day, we won't judge. We actually completely respect and love that about you because she's awesome.

such charges. If you direct us to bill any such charges to a third party, you represent that you are authorized to do so.
- Fuel Service Charge. Most rentals come with a full tank of fuel, but that is not always the case. If vehicle is not returned with a full tank of gas, or with the same amount of fuel as when rented, there will be a $6.95 per gallon refueling charge. If you return the car with less fuel than was in it when you received it, we will charge you a fuel service charge at the applicable rate per-mile or per-gallon rate specified on the rental document. To calculate this amount, we multiply the number of miles driven, as shown on the car’s odometer, times the per-mile rate shown on the rental document. The per gallon rate is used if you buy fuel during the rental and provide us with a receipt on our request, but the tank is not as full when you return the car as when you received the car (by using the factory installed gauge, rounded down to the nearest 1/8 tank), times the per-gallon rate shown on the rental document. The cost of refueling the car yourself at a local service station may be lower than the fuel service charge or the fuel service option. You acknowledge that the fuel service charge is not a retail sale of fuel. You may avoid a fuel service charge if you return the car with the fuel tank as full as when you received it and, if requested by us, present a receipt for your fuel purchase.
