Did you know a quality inspection even as little as once per year, and taking the advice of a reputable shop, it is 99% likely you will never experience a side of the road break down.

And before you say tires, most tire problems are equally avoidable.
Tires with healthy tread depth are significantly less likely to have air pressure loss.

Winter is not very far away and being on the side of the road is even worse in the winter.
If your engine can't run you can't have heat.

This is the time of the year that many shops are caught up and you can get in and out without even an appointment.

We do inspections.
We do diagnostics
Test cooling systems
Test charging systems

All of your needs in one spot.

Spark plugs water pumps
Tune-ups
Wheel bearings
Complete engine replacement
Transmission replacements
Transmission rebuilds

Announcement for our customers
We are no longer recommending or accepting car shield as a form of service contract.
It was a tough decision but they have proven time and time again to be so extremely hard to deal with that. It is not beneficial.

We can easily rack up 6 to 8 hours of additional time involved in the phone calls and paperwork, and ultimately still be denied.

Some of their customers who have car shield fully expect to be able to use it.
Sometimes they don't have any other choice.

There's no way to guarantee carshield will be paying your bill.

So if we accepted it in the past that is great. You were one of the lucky ones but going forward I am saying no.

What I do recommend is the program through Allstate VSC
Or even Wynn premier

Definitely not car shield
Definitely not endurance
Definitely not ethos group (EG assurance)

I've noticed many shops are trying to streamline their offerings.
They'll say we can make more money by doing just one thing.
Transmission's only for example.
Brakes and tune-ups only for example.

Personally, I do not think that's business model for us.
I have always believed that customer loyalty is going to be the most important thing in the long run. Customers for life.

THAT'S WHY WE ARE A ONE-STOP SHOP.
ALL OF YOUR AUTOMOTIVE NEEDS UNDER ONE ROOF.

Tune-ups, brakes, minor rust repair, you name it. We do it.

Some of my customers date back as far as 2006.


Whatever you need, just ask.
Text is always fastest response.

This is the quality of a freshly replaced reverse camera on a 10-year-old vehicle.
Cost was $275 including labor
The previous camera was a blue screen.

Imagine backing over a kid because you didn't want to spend $275 to fix your safety item.

Most backup cameras are under $300 to replace.
There are a few that are in the 500 range.
Course there's always the exceptions, but for the most of you, there's no reason to have a blue screen or a blurry screen or a black screen.

Reverse cameras in my opinion are almost as important as a seat belt.

And yes we do service these.
Most of the time it is not a very big job.

That feeling when your car is running better than you realized. Silky smooth. Barely touch the gas and you're above the speed limit.
That's nice feeling for sure.

The other feeling when someone pulls right in front of you and your Brakes you're quickly bring you to a halt. You were bracing for impact. For sure.
Absolutely about to smash into the guy.
But the brakes do their job.
ABS clicking and popping little bit of Tire chirp. And you have about 10 ft to spare.

ONLY THE MOST WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLES FEEL LIKE THAT.

Michelin tires
Power stop brakes
NGK coil packs

Another one bites the dust
Modern engines do not like it when you skip oil change. Even once or twice.
Even a little bit.

An oil change. You might lose a few hours or even a day if you drop it off.

An engine replacement, most of the time not less than 7 days. Sometimes you're out of commission for 2 months. Availability? Pricing a lot of factors.

Very avoidable
It's extremely rare to replace an engine that was well maintained.

It is very common to replace an engine that was not maintained.

Not pointing fingers not casting blame, we like the business and we will fix whatever you want us to fix.

Just sharing valuable information. Do it what you will.
