During seasonal inspections, we examine 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 perform fluid analysis to track oxidation, contamination, and additive depletion in engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid, then flush or replace based on documented thresholds, not guesswork. We also verify charging output, inspect wiper systems, perform wheel alignments, and torque critical fasteners to spec. With properly calibrated equipment and documented results, you'll catch small issues early, keep warranties intact, prolong component lifespan, and keep predictable ownership costs.

Motor, Transmission, and Drivetrain Proficiency

While symptoms can overlap, we pinpoint engine, transmission, and drivetrain faults with information-driven diagnostics ahead of physical work. We check live PIDs, conduct compression and leak-down tests, check fuel trims, and evaluate ignition patterns to address rough idle, cold starts, or oil dilution from misfires and short trips. You obtain transparent results, repair choices, and expected outcomes.

With transmission systems, we evaluate line pressure, shift timing, solenoid duty cycles, and fluid condition to eliminate slip, flare, or harsh engagements. We reflash TCM/PCM when strategy updates fix drivability concerns.

Drivetrain examinations encompass CV joints, U-joints, differential lash, and wheel bearing noise analysis. We check angles and balance to eliminate vibration under load. You authorize every step, and we document findings so you comprehend root cause, repair method, and warranty terms.

Brake, Suspension & Steering Services
