Car Diagnostics & Check Engine Light

A trouble code tells us where to look, not what to replace. We pull the codes, test the circuit or component that actually failed, and then tell you what the repair costs.

Brake Repair & Replacement

Pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines and fluid — measured, not guessed. If your pads still have life left, we'll tell you instead of selling you a full brake job.

Oil Change & Maintenance

Conventional, synthetic blend and full synthetic oil changes with the right filter and the right spec for your engine — plus an honest inspection while it's on the lift.

Engine Repair

From misfires and overheating to timing components and head gaskets, we diagnose the failure first and give you an honest read on whether repair or replacement makes sense.

Transmission & Clutch Repair

Automatic, manual and CVT transmissions serviced, repaired and replaced — starting with a diagnosis so you're not paying for a rebuild you don't need.

Suspension & Steering Repair

Shocks, struts, control arms, bushings, ball joints, tie rods and wheel bearings — diagnosed on the lift and confirmed on the road, not guessed at from a parts list.

Car Electrical, Battery, Starter & Alternator

No-starts, dead batteries, parasitic drains and electrical gremlins tracked down with proper testing — because a new battery doesn't fix a bad alternator.

Car AC & Heating Repair

Cold air in July and real heat in January. We performance-test the system and find the leak instead of just topping it off and sending you back out.

Tires, Wheels & Alignment

New and used tires mounted, balanced and aligned — plus flat repairs and rotations that keep the set you already own lasting longer.
