Exhaust Service
The exhaust system on your vehicle is more than just the tailpipe and muffler. This system gathers gasses from cylinders, removes harmful substances, reduces noise levels, and releases cleaner gasses through the exhaust pipes. These components synchronize their jobs with precision for the system to work and enhance or sustain the vehicle’s performance. Signs you need exhaust service • Annoying and irritating odors inside your vehicle. • Loss of fuel efficiency. • Strange vibrations while driving. • Illuminated check engine light. • Louder noise from both the engine and exhaust. We have the skills and equipment to repair or replace your exhaust system. Whether it is a muffler, catalytic converter, or tailpipe, we can diagnose and get you back on the road once more. Contact us today! -
Timing Belt Replacement
The timing belt or timing chain is a crucial part of your vehicle that keeps the internal combustion engine operating. This unit times and synchronizes engine valves to open and close with the position of the pistons at the precise time. Sings you need a new timing belt/chain: • Oil pressure is low. • Engine won’t turn over. • Ticking noises in the engine. • Hard idling. • Engine misfire. Our technicians can diagnose and replace the timing belt with a new and reliable one; we can also inspect the vehicle to make sure that is no other damage done, ensuring your vehicle is safe for the road once more.

Tire Installation
Tire changes are not easy, so trust the professionals to help you find the right tires. When it comes to changing your tires, we ensure that all sensors are functional and not damaged, the tire is secured around the wheel, and they are secured to your vehicle. Signs you need new tires: • Worn tread. • Cracks in the tire. • Continuous loss of tire pressure. • Previous tire patches. • Mileage. With various top brands to choose from, our tire experts can help you find the right tires that fit your needs and budget. Contact us today for more tire installation information! -
Four Wheel Drive Service
All-wheel drive vehicles are also known as 4x4s and four-wheel drive vehicles. These vehicles require a specific system, especially when used for off-roading and towing. The four-wheel drive system operates every day and will need maintenance after time. Technicians will inspect components like the locking hubs, axels, differentials, and the transfer case for leaks and wear to ensure your vehicle is safe and at optimum efficiency. Signs you need four-wheel drive service: • Vehicle cannot fluctuate between or stuck in drive modes. • Whistling axel. • Low fluid levels in the differential. • Illuminated dashboard lights. Our team of technicians has the skills and equipment to diagnose and service your four-wheel drive system, whether you need to replace or service the axel, differentials, or transfer case.

When you’re broken down on the side of the road and need assistance, whether it’s extra fuel, stalled vehicle, tire problems, or if you left the keys in your locked vehicle, one of our mobile mechanics will come to your destination to assist in getting you back on the road once more. When your vehicle is not repairable on the road, we can assist in towing your vehicle to our shop. Things we can assist with: • Lock outs. • Fuel delivery. • Flat tire assistance. • Dead battery. Our professionals have the skills to quickly assist you in roadside service to ensure you’re safely back on the road or at our shop. Contact us today for more information! -
PCV Valve
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve is a one-way street to your vehicle’s crankcase. The crankcase is what holds the motor oil at the bottom of a vehicle’s engine. When your vehicle is burning fuel, it will create gases and — before emissions — the exhaust system releases these gases. How to tell if you need a PCV Valve Replacement? • Oil leaks. • Whistling from the engine. • Sludge around the engine. • Blown out seals or gaskets. • Check engine light illuminated. Our technicians have the skills and equipment to replace the PCV valve, returning your vehicle to optimum efficiency once more. Contact us today! -
Power Steering Service
The power steering device in your vehicle makes it so you have the ability to easily turn or maneuver your vehicle at any speed with little effort. This device is crucial when it comes to safely operating your vehicle, and the device requires flushes to function efficiently without the need for repair or replacement. How to tell if you need power steering service: • Increasingly difficult to turn or maneuver your vehicle. • Spontaneous steering assistance. • Steering wheel noises. • Squealing belts. Our technicians have the skills to promptly diagnose what is causing failure in your power steering system and determine if the system needs replacing or maintenance like a fluid flush. Contact us today! -
Differential Service
The differential is a crucial part of a vehicle’s drivetrain that divides the torque of the engine between the wheels, giving them the ability to turn at different rates when necessary. This system is initiated when turning corners. Differentials differ depending on the drivetrain — for instance, the differential is on the rear axle on a standard rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the differential is on the front transaxle on a front-wheel-drive vehicle, and finally, there are two differentials for all-wheel-drive vehicles — on both the front-end and rear-end axles. Signs you need differential service: • Whistling noises. • Vibrations. • Gear grinding. • Rubbing or clunking noise. • Sluggish performance. We have the skills and equipment to service the differential, whether you need a full replacement, or a partial rebuild like side and pinion seals or gasket, gear, or bearing replacements. Contact us today!
