During periodic checks, we inspect tire tread and pressure, battery health, belts, hoses, brake pad thickness, and engine/cabin air filters to sustain performance and safety.
We carry out fluid analysis to detect oxidation, contamination, and additive depletion in engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid, then flush or replace based on measurable thresholds, not guesswork. We also check charging output, inspect wiper systems, check wheel alignment, and torque critical fasteners to spec. With properly calibrated equipment and documented results, you'll catch small issues early, keep warranties intact, prolong component lifespan, and maintain predictable ownership costs.
Motor, Transmission, and Drivetrain Proficiency
While issues might share characteristics, we pinpoint engine, transmission, and drivetrain issues with diagnostic data-based diagnostics before starting repairs. We monitor live PIDs, perform compression and leak-down tests, check fuel trims, and analyze ignition patterns to fix rough idle, cold starts, or oil dilution from misfires and short trips. You get clear results, repair alternatives, and expected outcomes.
With transmission systems, we examine line pressure, shift timing, solenoid duty cycles, and fluid condition to prevent slip, flare, or harsh engagements. We recalibrate TCM/PCM when strategy updates address drivability concerns.
Drivetrain inspections include CV joints, U-joints, differential lash, and here wheel bearing noise analysis. We confirm angles and balance to eliminate vibration under load. You authorize every step, and we document findings so you grasp cause, correction, and warranty.
Brake, Suspension & Steering Services
As you brake, steer, or drive over a bump, your vehicle should perform as expected—so we start with precise brake inspections and focused repairs. We then perform suspension diagnostics to identify wear, tune components for ride stability, and confirm proper damping and geometry. Finally, we establish steering alignment to factory specifications to preserve tire life, improve handling, and boost safety.
Brake System Inspections and Repairs
