During routine inspections, we check battery condition, belts, hoses, tire pressure and tread, brake pad wear, and air filters for cabin and engine to maintain optimal performance and safety standards.
We conduct fluid analysis to monitor oxidation, contamination, and additive depletion in brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, and engine oil, then replace or service based on specific thresholds, not guesswork. We also check charging output, inspect wiper systems, perform wheel alignments, and torque critical fasteners to spec. With precision tools and documented results, you'll identify small issues early, preserve warranties, extend component life, and ensure predictable ownership costs.
Engine, Transmission, and Drivetrain Specialization
Although symptoms can overlap, we pinpoint engine, transmission, and drivetrain issues with diagnostic data-based diagnostics before we turn a wrench. We analyze live PIDs, conduct compression and leak-down tests, verify fuel trims, and analyze ignition patterns to resolve rough idle, cold starts, or oil dilution from misfires and short trips. You obtain clear results, repair alternatives, and expected outcomes.
For transmission diagnostics, we check 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 problems.
Drivetrain assessments cover CV joints, U-joints, differential lash, and wheel bearing noise analysis. We confirm angles and balance to eradicate vibration under load. You authorize every step, and we document findings so you grasp the cause, the correction, and warranty coverage.
Services for Brakes, Suspension, and Steering
