We perform fluid analysis to track oxidation, contamination, and additive depletion in engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid, then replace or service based on specific thresholds, not guesswork. We also verify charging output, inspect wiper systems, align wheels, and torque critical fasteners to spec. With properly calibrated equipment and documented results, you can catch small issues early, preserve warranties, prolong component lifespan, and ensure predictable ownership costs.
Engine, Transmission, and Drivetrain Specialization
While symptoms can overlap, we identify engine, transmission, and drivetrain faults with diagnostic data-based diagnostics before we turn a wrench. We monitor live PIDs, perform compression and leak-down tests, validate fuel trims, and evaluate ignition patterns to solve rough idle, cold starts, or oil dilution from misfires and short trips. You obtain comprehensive results, repair alternatives, and expected outcomes.
For transmissions, we examine line pressure, shift timing, solenoid duty cycles, and fluid condition to prevent slip, flare, or harsh engagements. We recalibrate the TCM/PCM when strategy updates address drivability problems.
Drivetrain inspections include CV joints, U-joints, differential lash, and wheel bearing noise analysis. We check angles and balance to remove vibration under load. You authorize every step, and we document findings so you grasp the cause, the correction, and warranty coverage.
Brake, Suspension, and Steering Solutions
When you brake, steer, or hit a bump, your vehicle should respond predictably—so we start with detailed brake inspections and focused repairs. We then conduct suspension diagnostics to detect wear, adjust components for ride stability, and ensure proper damping and geometry. Finally, we adjust steering alignment to factory standards to extend tire life, improve handling, and enhance safety.
Brake Repair and Inspection
Brake safely—our ASE-certified technicians conduct comprehensive brake inspections and precise repairs to keep your stopping power safe and reliable.
