We carry out fluid analysis to track oxidation, contamination, and additive depletion in engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid, then replace or flush based on specific thresholds, not guesswork. We also test charging output, inspect wiper systems, check wheel alignment, and torque critical fasteners to spec. With calibrated tools and documented results, you'll identify small issues early, preserve warranties, extend component life, and keep predictable ownership costs.

Engine, Transmission, and Drivetrain Expertise

Though problems can have similar signs, we identify engine, transmission, and drivetrain problems with information-driven diagnostics before starting repairs. We check live PIDs, execute compression and leak-down tests, confirm fuel trims, and evaluate ignition patterns to resolve rough idle, cold starts, or oil dilution from misfires and short trips. You receive clear results, repair alternatives, and expected outcomes.

For transmission diagnostics, we inspect line pressure, shift timing, solenoid duty cycles, and fluid condition to stop slip, flare, or harsh engagements. We update transmission and powertrain control modules when strategy updates fix drivability problems.

Drivetrain inspections include CV joints, U-joints, differential lash, and wheel bearing noise analysis. We verify angles and balance to eliminate vibration under load. You approve every step, and we document findings so you grasp root cause, repair method, and warranty terms.

Brake, Suspension, and Steering Solutions

Whether you're braking, steering, or encountering a bump, your vehicle should respond predictably—so we initiate our process with detailed brake inspections and targeted repairs.
