SERVICES
I offer a comprehensive range of automotive services designed to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely. From detailed runability diagnostics and drivability problem solutions to essential routine maintenance and expert brake repairs, I've got you covered. I also provide thorough used car buyer’s inspections, timing belt replacements, cooling system repairs, steering and suspension services, and electrical diagnostics. With over 28 years of experience, my commitment is to deliver top-notch, personalized service that meets all your automotive needs.
DIAGNOSTICS
If your car’s check engine light or other warning lights are illuminated, if the engine won’t start, the vehicle won’t move, or you’re noticing unusual noises or vibrations, we can diagnose the issue. In most cases, we can repair your car and have you back on the road swiftly.
BRAKES
The term "brakes" encompasses the entire braking system, not just the brake pads or rotors. Components such as brake hoses, lines, the master cylinder, calipers, and wheel cylinders are all critical to ensuring effective braking performance. We are committed to performing the necessary brake repairs and avoid recommending unnecessary components, prioritizing the safety of you, your family, and other drivers.
COOLING SYSTEMS
The cooling system of your engine is crucial for optimal performance. Extreme temperatures, whether too high or too low, can lead to engine damage or reduced fuel efficiency. We provide meticulous repairs for all components of the cooling system, including the water pump, thermostat, cooling fan, fan switch, hoses, and other essential parts. We ensure that the coolant used meets the specifications for your vehicle, maintaining the integrity and efficiency of your engine.
STEERING, SUSPENSION & DRIVETRAIN
We offer comprehensive maintenance and repair services for your vehicle's suspension and drivetrain components, including control arms, traction control links, bushings, drive axles, ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks, struts, bearings, hubs and more. Additionally, we service and repair power steering systems, whether they are modern electric or traditional pneumatic.
TIMING BELTS
​
We offer timing belt replacement services for most vehicles. We recommend also replacing the tensioner, idler pulleys, and water pump (when removal of the belt provides improved access) as these components have typically been in service for the same duration as the belt. Given the potential for significant engine damage if the timing belt fails, we ensure that the job is performed with meticulous care and precision to prevent any issues.
ELECTRICAL
​
Whether you’re dealing with short or open circuits, rodent damage, tampered wires, or installing a wiring harness in a custom vehicle, we can address your wiring needs with precision. We avoid crimp connectors, which are prone to failure, and instead solder all connections. Additionally, we use marine-grade heat-shrink tubing to ensure your connections remain corrosion-free and reliable for years to come.
LIGHTING
Visibility is crucial for safety. Based on my experience, approximately 50% of the vehicles I work on have at least one non-functional exterior light. Whether it's replacing a bulb or rewiring a faulty bulb socket, we can restore your lights to optimal brightness.
MAINTENANCE
Regular vehicle maintenance is essential for ensuring the longevity of your vehicle. From fluid and filter changes to inspecting hoses and belts, please contact us to discuss your specific needs and how we can assist you.
PART REPLACEMENT
​
I'm not just an automobile technician; I'm also a skilled mechanic. I can handle a wide range of services, including replacing batteries, alternators, water pumps, valve cover gaskets, starters, wiper motors, window motors, blower motors, engine sensors, fuel pumps, and much more!
USED CAR / BUYERS INSPECTION
Many automotive service providers offer "90-point inspections," which involve a rapid checklist and a $100 fee. Our approach differs significantly. We conduct a comprehensive visual inspection of your vehicle, thoroughly examining it from top to bottom and front to back. This includes assessments of computer systems, leak checks, safety and comfort systems, HVAC, road testing, and lighting. Our detailed inspection process takes approximately two hours, with an additional hour required to prepare the final report.
HEADLIGHT RESTORATION
If your headlight lenses have become yellowed and you want to brighten them up, they could be suitable for headlight restoration as long as they are not cracked.
