What we offer
Brake repair
Squeals, grinding, a soft pedal or pulling. We inspect the whole brake system, explain what is urgent, and call before any extra work.
Oil change & maintenance
The right oil and filter for your engine in 30 to 60 minutes. Appointment recommended, and an after-hours key drop is available.
A/C & heating
Warm A/C, weak heat or a windshield that will not clear. We test pressures, temperatures and controls before replacing parts.
Engine diagnostics
Check engine light, rough running or a misfire. We scan, read live data and test until we find the cause, then explain your options.
Battery & charging
Slow cranks, dim lights or a battery that keeps dying. We test the battery, alternator, starter and cables before replacing anything.
Transmission
Slipping, harsh shifts, delays or a warning light. We diagnose before major work and check the engine and cooling system that affect shifting.
Wheel alignment
Car pulling or steering wheel off center? We check and set your alignment on our alignment rack with a computerized alignment machine.
Tire service
Tire inspection, rotation, balancing, flats and replacement. Call with your tire size and we will talk through what your car needs.
Suspension & steering
Clunks, bouncing or loose steering? We inspect and repair shocks, struts, ball joints, tie rods, control arms and sway bar links.
Exhaust & muffler
Loud exhaust, rattles or exhaust smell in the cabin? We find the leak, broken hanger or rusted section and fix what is actually worn.
Tune-ups
Spark plugs, ignition coils, filters and fluid checks on your manufacturer's schedule, with testing before we replace parts.
Radiator & cooling
Overheating, coolant leaks or a sweet smell? We repair radiators, hoses, thermostats and water pumps, and find the leak before replacing parts.
