Reliable repair and maintenance service for cars, light trucks and SUVs

From routine upkeep to complex repairs, we offer a full range of automotive services to keep your vehicle safe, dependable, and running at its best. Each service is performed with attention to detail and a commitment to quality you can count on.

Air conditioning repair

A working A/C system is essential not only for comfort but also for safety. In addition to keeping the cabin cool in the summer, your air conditioning helps defrost and dehumidify the windshield in cold, damp weather. If your A/C is blowing warm air or fluctuating in temperature, it may need service.

Air filter replacement

The engine air filter helps deliver clean air to your engine, improving power and efficiency. A clogged or dirty filter can reduce performance and fuel economy. It’s recommended to inspect the air filter at least once a year or every 12,000 miles.

Wheel alignments

Proper alignment ensures your vehicle’s wheels are set to the correct angles to maintain stability, tire longevity, and handling. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear and poor performance. Alignment service includes adjusting suspension angles to manufacturer specifications.

Alternator replacement

The alternator keeps your battery charged and powers your vehicle’s electrical systems while the engine runs. If your battery light is on, or if your vehicle stalls or won’t start, the alternator could be the cause.

Battery testing & replacement

A weak or dead battery can prevent your car from starting and may cause it to die unexpectedly. Batteries are especially prone to failure in extreme hot or cold weather. If your battery performance is questionable, have it tested and replaced if needed.

Belt and hose inspection

Belts and hoses play a critical role in cooling, charging, and air conditioning systems. Over time, they can become brittle, cracked, or loose. Most have a service life of about five years. Replacing them before they fail helps avoid breakdowns.

Brake repair

If you hear grinding or squealing, feel pulsation in the pedal, or see a brake warning light, it’s time to have your brakes inspected. Reliable brakes are essential for your safety, and modern ABS systems should be checked regularly.

Cooling system repair

The cooling system regulates your engine’s temperature to prevent overheating or running too cool. If the system isn’t functioning properly, it can cause poor fuel economy, reduced performance, or engine damage. Regular inspection helps avoid serious problems.

Diesel engine service

Diesel engines require specific maintenance to perform reliably. Services like oil and filter changes, fuel filter replacements, and water separator maintenance are essential to avoid issues and keep the engine running efficiently. We have a complete heavy truck and trailer repair shop here and a wide selection of hard-to-find specialty parts for heavy trucks and trailers.  

Differential service

The differential transfers power from the engine to the wheels. In all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicles, multiple differentials may be involved. Strange noises or vibrations can indicate worn components or the need for fluid service.

Engine diagnostics and repair

A dashboard warning light can indicate a range of engine issues. Immediate attention is especially important for oil pressure and check engine lights. Comprehensive diagnostics can identify and resolve the problem before further damage occurs.

Flat tire repair

A flat tire can happen unexpectedly due to punctures, leaks, or rim issues. Continuing to drive on a flat tire can ruin it. A quick repair or replacement can get you safely back on the road.

Fluid checks and changes

Your vehicle depends on clean, properly filled fluids for performance and safety. Regular checks of oil, coolant, brake, transmission, power steering, and washer fluids help prevent mechanical issues and keep your car running smoothly.

Four-wheel drive system service

If your 4WD system fails to engage or displays warning lights, it could point to a problem with the transfer case or differentials. Issues like vibrations or grinding noises should be checked immediately to avoid further drivetrain damage.

Lift and leveling kit installation 

Installing a lift or leveling kit can improve off-road capability and enhance the vehicle’s appearance. It also allows for larger tire fitments and better ground clearance, which can be helpful for specific driving conditions.

Exhaust system repair

The exhaust system helps reduce emissions and noise while maximizing engine performance. If your vehicle is louder than usual, has reduced power, or an emissions light appears, it could be due to a faulty muffler, catalytic converter, or exhaust pipe.

Oil changes

Regular oil changes protect your engine from wear and overheating. Old, dirty oil can clog the system and reduce engine life. Most vehicles require an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on usage and type of oil.

Preventive maintenance

Staying ahead of issues with routine checks and scheduled service is one of the best ways to ensure vehicle reliability. Preventive maintenance includes inspections, fluid changes, tire checks, and more to reduce the chance of breakdowns.

Steering and suspension repair

These systems help maintain tire contact with the road and keep your vehicle stable. Signs of trouble include bouncing, pulling to one side, or uneven tire wear. Annual inspections help detect wear early and keep your vehicle handling properly.

Tire balancing

Unbalanced tires can cause vibrations and uneven wear. Regular tire balancing, especially after rotation or replacement, helps maintain ride comfort and extend tire life.

Tire replacement and installation

Over time, tires degrade and lose their ability to perform safely. Replacing them every six years, or sooner depending on wear, helps prevent blowouts and maintain traction. Proper installation is key to safe driving.

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) service

TPMS alerts you when tire pressure drops below a safe level. A malfunctioning sensor can cause false warnings or fail to alert you to a real issue. When changing tires, it’s often recommended to service or replace sensors.

Tire rotation

Rotating your tires helps them wear evenly, which extends their lifespan and improves performance. Front tires typically wear faster due to steering. Most manufacturers recommend rotating tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles.

Tune-ups

Even with modern vehicles, regular replacement of spark plugs, filters, and fluids is essential for performance. If your vehicle runs rough or displays warning lights, it may be time for a tune-up to restore smooth operation.

Vehicle inspection

Routine inspections can uncover potential issues before they become costly repairs. A complete check-up by a trained technician helps ensure your vehicle is roadworthy and safe to drive.

Wiper blade replacement

Clear visibility is critical for safe driving. Worn or damaged wiper blades can streak, skip, or fail entirely. Regular replacement ensures your windshield stays clean and your view remains unobstructed in bad weather.
