Our services

When the air conditioning stops blowing cold or the heat won’t come up to temperature, the cause can be as simple as low refrigerant or as involved as a failed compressor. We start by testing system pressure and checking for leaks before recommending any repair.

A system that’s low on refrigerant usually has a leak somewhere in the lines, seals, or a component — recharging it without finding the leak just means doing it again in a few months. We use dye and pressure testing to locate leaks, then repair or replace the failed part and recharge the system to manufacturer specification.

Heating issues are typically related to the coolant system: a stuck thermostat, low coolant, or a failing heater core. We check the whole system rather than guessing at a single part, since heating and engine cooling share the same fluid path.

What’s included

• A/C system pressure test and leak detection
• Refrigerant recharge to manufacturer specification
• Compressor, condenser, and line repair
• Heating system and coolant inspection

Brakes wear down gradually, and the warning signs — a squeal, a grind, a pull to one side, a soft pedal — are usually a signal to have them looked at rather than an emergency. We inspect pads, rotors, calipers, and brake lines, and measure remaining pad and rotor thickness against manufacturer specs so you know exactly where you stand.

If a component still has useful life left, we tell you and leave it alone. If pads or rotors are worn past a safe margin, we replace them and bleed the system with fresh brake fluid, which breaks down over time and affects how firm the pedal feels.

Every brake job includes a full inspection, an honest read on what needs replacing now versus what can wait, and a road test before the vehicle leaves the shop.

What’s included

• Brake system inspection (pads, rotors, calipers, lines)
• Pad and rotor measurement against manufacturer specs
• Pad and/or rotor replacement as needed
• Brake fluid flush and bleed
• Post-service road test

A check engine light means the computer saw something outside normal range. That could be a loose gas cap or a failing sensor — the light looks identical either way. We connect a scan tool, pull the stored codes, and treat them as a starting point rather than an answer.

Codes point at a system, not a part. Finding the actual cause means working through related wiring, sensors, and components until something proves itself, then explaining it in plain terms before any repair starts.

The harder work is the problems that never set a code at all — a vibration at speed, a noise that only shows up warm, a driveline that feels wrong without throwing a light. Those take a test drive, time on the lift, and a willingness to keep looking. It’s the work customers most often come to us for after somewhere else guessed wrong.

What’s included

• Computer scan and code retrieval
• Root-cause diagnosis, not just clearing the code
• Driveline and vibration diagnosis
• Inspection of related sensors, wiring, and components
• Plain explanation of what we found before any repair
• Test drive to confirm the fix

Regular oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for an engine. We use oil that meets your manufacturer’s specification, replace the filter every time, and reset your service indicator before you leave.

Every oil service includes a multi-point inspection. We check fluid levels, belts, hoses, tire condition, and brake wear, then tell you what we found — including when the answer is “nothing, you’re fine.”

What’s included

• Drain and replace engine oil to manufacturer specification
• New oil filter
• Fluid top-off
• Multi-point inspection
• Service indicator reset

Every vehicle comes with a maintenance schedule set by the manufacturer, built around specific mileage and time intervals for things like fluid changes, filter replacement, and inspections. Following it is what keeps small issues from turning into expensive ones, and it’s also usually a requirement for keeping a factory warranty valid.

We work from your vehicle’s factory-specified schedule rather than a generic one, so the services performed match what your manufacturer actually calls for at that mileage. That might mean a transmission fluid change at one interval, a timing belt at another, or simply a set of inspections with nothing to replace.

We keep a record of what’s been done and when, so you always know what’s next and can plan for it instead of being surprised.

What’s included

• Manufacturer-specified maintenance by mileage interval
• Fluid, filter, and belt service as scheduled
• Multi-point inspection
• Service history record

Uneven tire wear is usually a sign of an alignment or balance issue rather than the tires themselves. We mount and balance new tires, rotate existing ones on a regular schedule, and check alignment against manufacturer specifications when steering pulls to one side or tread wear looks uneven.

Alignment affects more than tire life. A vehicle that’s out of alignment can pull, wander, or feel unstable at highway speed, and it makes the steering wheel sit off-center. We adjust toe, camber, and caster to bring the vehicle back within spec and give you a printout showing before-and-after readings.

Regular rotation spreads wear evenly across all four tires, which extends the life of a set and keeps handling consistent. We recommend rotation at the interval listed in your owner’s manual, or sooner if you notice uneven wear.

What’s included

• Tire mounting and balancing
• Tire rotation
• Four-wheel alignment with before/after printout
• Tread wear inspection
