Pulling, drifting or uneven tire wear? We set it back to spec.

  • We check your wheel angles against spec and adjust them back.
  • Signs you need one: the vehicle pulls to one side, the steering wheel sits off-center, or tires wear unevenly.
  • Worth checking after new tires, or after a hard hit on a curb or pothole.

Squeal, grind or a soft pedal. We check the system and fix what it needs.

  • We look over the pads, rotors and brake fluid and tell you what needs work.
  • Signs you need a look: squealing or grinding, a soft or sinking pedal, pulling to one side when you stop, or a shake through the pedal.

Fresh oil and a new filter, done right.

  • Regular changes keep the engine clean and protected.
  • Signs it is due: the oil light, dark or gritty oil on the dipstick, or you have passed the interval in your owner's manual.

Check engine light on? We scan modern vehicles and find the real problem.

  • We read the stored trouble codes, then test to find what is actually causing them.
  • Signs you need it: the check engine light, a rough idle, stalling, or worse fuel mileage.

New tires for cars, trucks and SUVs, mounted and balanced here.

  • We mount and balance every set here in the shop.
  • Signs you need new ones: tread worn down to the wear bars, cracks or bulges in the sidewall, or repeated flat tires.

Repair, or a full replacement, when it is more than a tune-up.

  • Repair when the problem can be fixed, and a full replacement when the engine is past that point.
  • Signs of trouble: knocking or ticking, heavy exhaust smoke, overheating, or low oil pressure.

Blowing warm? We diagnose and repair your vehicle's A/C.

  • We check the refrigerant level and look for leaks, then test the compressor, condenser and blower.
  • Signs you need it: warm air from the vents, weak airflow, or an odd smell or noise when the A/C runs.
