This 2015 Ford F-250 came in needing new rear cab mounts to pass Pennsylvania state inspection.
When replacing cab mounts on these trucks, it's always a good idea to heat the factory thread locker (Loctite) on the cab bolts before removal. Doing so helps reduce the risk of breaking the captive (cage) nuts inside the cab, which can turn a straightforward repair into a much more involved job.
Higher-trim Super Duty models are equipped with carpet instead of rubber flooring, making access to the cab mount bolts more challenging and requiring additional disassembly.
If your Ford needs maintenance, diagnostics, or major repairs, we'd be happy to help. Reach out to us to schedule an appointment!

This 2013 Audi A6 3.0T came in with a no-start condition and a coolant leak.
After pressure testing the cooling system, we found a brittle T-hose connector at the rear of the engine that had failed from years of heat and age. To diagnose the no-crank issue, we removed the passenger-side engine mount to access the starter and confirmed it was receiving power, but the solenoid had failed.
We replaced the starter, T-hose connector, and heater hose. The cooling system is now leak-free, and the Audi starts and runs just as it should.
Proper diagnostics save time, money, and unnecessary parts replacement. Another vehicle back on the road!

A 2021 Jeep Gladiator came in with the ABS warning light illuminated. We tested the left rear wheel speed sensor and found that it was not receiving power. After performing a visual inspection, we discovered rodent damage to the wiring harness in the right front wheel well.

During the inspection, we also noticed that the right front fog lamp was inoperative. Further diagnosis revealed additional rodent damage to the fog lamp wiring harness.

This 6L80 transmission from a Chevy Silverado came in after losing every gear. The fluid was burnt, and once we dropped the pan, it was packed with clutch material and metal debris.

The culprit? A failed torque converter clogged the filter, starving the pump and causing major internal damage.

We reconditioned the factory pump, installed new clutches and steels, replaced the torque converter, and completed a full rebuild with a Sonnax Zip Kit.

✅ Rebuilt right.
✅ Ready for the road.

If your transmission is slipping, shifting hard, or making unusual noises, don't wait—early repairs can help prevent major damage.

This 2011 Duramax came in for some upgrades and repairs! We installed a Fleece CP3 conversion kit to help prevent the notorious CP4 failure, which can send metal throughout the entire fuel system. While we were in there, we replaced both thermostats, the seals, and all the EGR gaskets. We also found a leaking radiator, so we replaced the radiator, accessory drive belt, upper radiator hose, and the lower coolant hose O-ring.
