A worn guibo (flex disc) is one of those repairs that's easy to postpone—until it becomes much more expensive.

The guibo absorbs drivetrain shock between the transmission and driveshaft. As the rubber cracks and deteriorates, excess stress is transferred to other components.

Ignoring a failing guibo can lead to damage to:
• Driveshaft center support bearing
• Driveshaft fl**ges and joints
• Transmission output components
• Differential input fl**ge
• Engine and transmission mounts

Common symptoms include clunking when shifting, drivetrain vibrations, and visible cracks in the flex disc.

Replacing a worn guibo early is far less expensive than repairing the additional drivetrain damage that can result from waiting.

If you are looking for a new Mercedes to join your fleet for the summer?

Because somehow every bolt is hidden in a place only a contortionist can reach.

If your wheels have started making metal band noises it's probably worth a look. In many cases you're hearing the brake pad wear indicator's polite way of saying "I've got one more stop left in me." Give us a call and we'll help determine whether it's time for new brakes or something else before a small issue turns into a larger repair.

As you can see on this Toyota Tundra the brake pads were nearing retirement age and had already started updating their résumé. We replaced the pads and rotors and got everything back in proper working order before the brakes decided to submit their two-week notice. 🔧

Introduced for the 1990 model year the Mercedes-Benz R129 SL-Class marked a new chapter for the legendary SL roadster. Produced from 1989 through 2002 the R129 combined elegant styling with advanced engineering including an automatically deploying roll bar and a power-operated convertible top.

Buyers could choose from smooth inline-six engines powerful V8s or the flagship V12 found in the SL600. Built for both spirited driving and comfortable touring the R129 quickly became one of the defining luxury sports cars of its era.

We would like to congratulate our client on adding this iconic R129 SL-Class to their collection. Its timeless design and engineering continue to make it one of the most celebrated Mercedes-Benz roadsters of all time.

The Opel GT is a classic German sports car produced from 1968 to 1973 and is often referred to as the "mini Corvette" due to its sleek styling and long hood design.

Engine options included a 1.1L inline four producing around 67 horsepower and the more desirable 1.9L inline four producing approximately 90 horsepower. Lightweight simple and fun to drive the Opel GT remains a favorite among vintage sports car enthusiasts today. 🚗✨

When restoring vehicles that have sat unused for extended periods of time, we often remove the old fuses and clean the fuse contacts and connection points. Corrosion and oxidation can build up over the years, creating poor electrical connections.

This simple process can often resolve a surprising number of electrical issues and restore proper operation to various systems within a vintage vehicle ☺️
