Making Cars Behave Since 1999

The Check Engine Light (CEL) is a warning indicator — it means your vehicle’s computer has determined that an engine component or your emission control system is not behaving properly. We check this for free and tell you exactly what it means.

Not starting? The battery is the main component and we provide a free battery test and related charging system diagnosis.

Power windows not working? Door locks? We inspect this system as well.

Slow pedal response, odd noises, wobbling, or just generally poor braking performance. This can be caused by worn out pads, rotors, shoes, or a failure of a hydraulic component. These items are thoroughly inspected with every brake system inspection.

Replacing worn belts, hose/lines, compressors and refrigerant leak checks. The AC not blowing cold is the most common complaint. To diagnose this problem, a general inspection of the entire system and related components is necessary.

Adversely, a lack of heat is another common issue, and is sometimes due to a faulty thermostat or a failed water pump. Other factors can contribute as well, and we can provide a complete cooling system diagnosis in order to locate the problem.

Is your car riding funny, handling poor, or making noise? Springs, shocks, struts, upper and lower control arms, and sway bar components – these are the major players in a car’s suspension, and we provide a thorough inspection of this system.

Replacing the timing belt at factory intervals is highly recommended, as timing belts can wear out and break – potentially damaging engines.

A failing water pump can potentially leak coolant and cause leaking/overheating issues. The water pump on most modern cars is run by the timing belt, and is recommended to be replaced with a new timing belt.

We inspect the entire engine cooling and heating system, such as belts, hoses, and thermostat.  A Regularly scheduled cooling system flush is also recommended.

Clutch system inspection components include clutch kit, flywheel, and related clutch components.

Driveline components include CV axles, drive shafts, and related components. We provide a complete inspection of this system.

Is your vehicle pulling to one side? Is your steering wheel off-center when you are driving in a straight line? Tires wearing uneven? You could need an alignment. We provide this service to help keep them wearing evenly.

We also provide inspections to potential purchases, as we know that buying a used vehicle is a big commitment and you should know what you’re getting into. We give it The Eyeball from top to bottom and end-to-end, with a test drive. This gives you a nice little report to present to the seller so the bartering can begin.

Whether it’s your hot-rod Impala, or your grocery-getting Brady Bunch wagon, we have a handle on the pre-computer past. Please call for details.
