RELIABLE AUTO REPAIR YOU CAN TRUST

Our Services:

Brakes

A brake job inspects, repairs, and replaces the components that slow and stop your vehicle to restore safe, reliable braking performance. Typical brake job services include:

  • Brake inspection: Measure pad and rotor thickness, check calipers, hoses, lines, wheel bearings, parking brake, and brake fluid condition.

  • Brake pad/shoe replacement: Remove worn pads or shoes and install correct replacements matched to your vehicle and driving needs.

  • Rotor/drum resurfacing or replacement: Resurface rotors when within specs or replace warped, cracked, or too-thin rotors/drums.

  • Caliper service: Clean, lubricate, rebuild, or replace sticking or leaking calipers; inspect slides and hardware.

  • Brake hardware replacement: Install new clips, shims, pins, springs, and anti-rattle hardware to ensure proper pad movement and minimize noise.

  • Brake fluid service: Flush and replace brake fluid, bleed the system to remove air, and inspect for leaks.

  • System test: Road test to verify stopping performance, pedal feel, ABS operation, and absence of noise or vibration.

We use vehicle-specific parts and follow manufacturer torque and service procedures. A full written estimate and safety recommendations are provided before work begins. Typical indicators you need a brake job: squealing/grinding noises, pulsing pedal, reduced stopping power, dashboard brake warning, or low brake fluid.

Oil Change

What’s included:

  • Engine oil drain and replacement with manufacturer-recommended grade and viscosity.

  • New oil filter installation.

  • Fluid level check and top-off (coolant, brake, transmission, power steering, windshield washer) as needed.

  • Visual inspection of underhood components (hoses, belts, battery condition, visible leaks).

  • Check for oil leaks around filter and drain plug; torque drain plug to spec.

  • Reset oil life/maintenance reminder if applicable.

  • Multi-point inspection report and recommendations for any required repairs or maintenance.

Service types:

  • Standard oil change: Conventional oil — good for older vehicles or short-interval service.

  • Synthetic blend oil change: Better protection and longer intervals than conventional.

Diagnostics

What we inspect:

  • Check engine light analysis: Retrieve and interpret diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the vehicle’s computer systems to identify root causes.

  • Engine performance: Evaluate ignition, fuel delivery, air intake, and exhaust systems, including spark plugs, coils, fuel injectors, mass airflow sensor, and oxygen sensors.

  • Electrical systems: Test battery, starter, alternator, wiring, fuses, relays, and sensors that affect drivability and safety systems.

  • Emissions and fuel economy: Assess components and systems that impact emissions output and fuel efficiency, including EVAP system, catalytic converter, and fuel pressure.

  • Transmission and drivability: Scan transmission control module, check shift patterns, clutch/torque converter behavior, and hydraulic/electronic controls.

  • ABS, traction control, and airbag systems: Read ABS, TCS, SRS codes and perform component checks to confirm fault sources.

  • HVAC and comfort controls: Diagnose climate control, blower motors, actuators, and related electronic controls when relevant to customer concerns.

  • Onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) readiness: Verify readiness monitors and emissions readiness status required for inspections and registration where applicable.
