Let's make it harder for them to be taken.

Let's talk cabin air filters, or as I like to call them, the forgotten service item. This vehicle is an extreme case. Not sure when it was changed last and the vehicles primary use is for dog hauling. 1st picture is a side by side, the following 2 are of the case where the filter sits and the extra build up. These filters help with the quality of air you breathe and are relatively inexpensive. In most cases the filters themselves cost around $30 and take around 5-10 minutes to install, odd ball ones taking slightly longer. A change every year should be fine for most vehicles, make sure to add this to your service checklist when doing your vehicles maintenance.

Been busy since the last post. Audi 2.0 timing wrapped up (1st set if pictures, failed tensioner, ended up doing all 3 chains) then 2JZ-GE timing and oil leaks finished (2nd set of pictures, new seals, new timing, new pulleys) Plenty of other vehicles have rolled through for various fixes as well. Will get better on documentation throughout the journey.

2014 kia optima came into have a steering clunk diagnosed. They were told it probably needed tierods. Check the front end out anyway to give the customer peace of mind. Ended up with the very common issue of the plastic coupler disintegrating. This applies to both hyundais and kia so if you have an issue with clunky steering, this is probably the problem.

Customer brought in this 2006 Kia Sorento for valve covers as they were dripping onto the manifold causing it to smoke and smell like burnt oil all the time. Found a few tube seals had also failed, all the gaskets for this repair we hard as a rock. During the removal of the valve covers noticed the timing belt was severely cracked. Turned out to be OE and this car had 170k on it. Customer decided to move ahead with timing belt and water pump replacement. The front covers were so brittle they broke upon removal and I decided to replace them for the customer for free.

Shop friends RUSSO & CO. needed a quick repair on their mobile stage rig before heading out of town this past summer. They brought in a radiator and electric fan kit that needed wired up. After finding the fan mounts broken from shipping, we got some custom ones made, wired up the fan, fixed some wires we found along the way, and got it back to them in time for their trip. For those of you who have never heard these guys play, check them out!

Long time customer brought in Hades to get a new wheel and tire setup mounted after we found a crack in the front wheel. Topped it off with black lugs and new tpms sensors. I'm a fan of the factory wheel on this car but the pictures don't do the car justice with the new setup.

This 2012 Dodge Ram came in with a slight engine tick and a misfire on cylinder 2. Customer had the spark plugs and coil pack replaced by another shop but the misfire persisted. As suspected lifter had failed on cylinder 2 and dug into the camshaft. Removed the oil pan to look for further damage and found oil to be sludged up. Heads were sent out to be gone through and resurfaced. Factory camshaft, lifters, timing components, bolts, and gaskets were installed. Replaced the MDS solenoids during the repair, all of which broke, as expected. Replaced the oil pump, pick up tube and cleaned the pan. Was able to clean the surface if the pistons of the carbon and oil residue. All components were assembled with assembly l**e, torqued to spec, and marked. Truck is now cured of its exhaust leak, hemi tick, and misfire.

Let's play catch up. A lot has happened since the last page post in April. I'll post daily to catch up on some of the things done since then.

In other news, I will be open full time February 2024! I decided to chase the dream without the time and scheduling issues.

For the customers who have stuck with me over the past few years, I greatly appreciate you more than you know. I've grown slowly. Some of you I met while my career journey had me working at Franjo Speed. Some of you were joined after I left when I decided to do it more on my own as Repairs by Tyler. Others of you are more recent when I moved into the current building sharing the space with other business and creating RMC Automotive. I'm thankful for each one of you no matter when you joined the customer base and will now be able to provide you with even better service!
