It's great to have found this shop! Matt and the crew did an excellent job restoring the A/C in our 2008 Tahoe. Matt, you're our car guy now!

Recently had all my injectors replaced on my 03 D Max , Matt kept me updated on the repairs and had my truck done in a timely manner.

Done for under the quoted estimate and quicker than I thought. Now the truck runs and rides as good as it ever did. Matt is a solid dude.

Case Study: The 15-Point Inspection Pays Off

One Tuesday morning, David brought his Ford F-250 Diesel Pickup to the shop for an oil change. Pretty basic stuff. He grabbed a coffee down the road and returned in 1/2 hour.

After changing the oil and filters, the mechanic did a standard 15-point inspection and saw that the brake fluid was a little low. So they looked into it a bit more closely.

The team found a slow fluid leak in the break line. When asked, David said that he had noticed pushing the brake pedal a little harder recently. But the warning light didn't came on, so he didn't worry too much about it.

If the mechanics hadn't been thorough, the leak could easily have resulted in an accident. Instead, the they were able to replace the brake line and get David and his Ford F-250 Diesel Pickup safely back on the road the same day.

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 truck 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.
