ASE Certified Technicians

With 10 bays to work on your vehicles, our ASE Certified

technicians are more than qualified to fix and repair any situation

on all makes and models. Oil changes to complete engine swaps.


In repairing cars, our main role is to diagnose the problem

accurately and efficiently. Because vehicles today possess

complex computer and electronic systems, mechanics need to

have a broader base of knowledge than in the past. Most auto

dealerships and independent workshops should provide

sophisticated diagnostic computers to technicians, without they

would be unable to diagnose or repair a vehicle properly. We

have the latest technology available.

Some Common Myths About Caring For Your Car:

“Only a dealership can perform my scheduled maintenance.”

There’s no need to get your car serviced at an over-priced dealership service center. Any quality repair shop like ours should have the tools to perform the required service to your manufacturer’s specifications to preserve your warranty. If you have any doubts-- just ask us!

“Premium gasoline gives my car premium performance.”

Unless your car’s manual specifically states to use “premium fuel only,” then buying premium fuel is just a waste of money. American drivers wasted more than $2 billion in 2015 using premium fuel in cars designed to run on regular unleaded fuel.

“Use a penny to test when to replace your tires. ”

The “Penny Test” is a trick many of us were taught to test tread depth. But the truth is that by the time you can see Honest Abe’s head, your tire performance has already been compromised. Want to stay safe? Try using a quarter instead!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s that bump, clunk, squeal, or screech?

We get some variation of this question about 20 times per day! Unfortunately, it’s hard to tell exactly what’s wrong without the proper diagnostic equipment. We’ve got the tools to do it, so bring you car in and we’ll let you know exactly what’s causing your mystery sound.

Does it hurt my car if I drive with the check engine light on?

It is possible, but unless the light is flashing then you’re usually okay for a short distance. It’s more likely that you’ll experience reduced performance. We do recommended that you come see us right away, to see what exactly is wrong before it can do long-term damage.

What’s the correct tire pressure for my car?

The recommended tire pressure is set by the tire manufacturer. Tire pressure is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch) and you can find your recommended pressure on the side of your tires. Properly inflated tires will help you get better gas mileage and reduce tire wear.
