Air Conditioning 134A and 1234YF
The air conditioning system is checked for leaks, Refrigerant level, and blower volume. Parts are replaced as necessary. When a leak is not detectable upon initial inspection, a dye is used to pinpoint the location. Parts are required to be replaced as necessary due to refrigerants ability to harm the ozone.
Auto Tune-ups
A necessary part of vehicle maintenance wherein the spark plugs, air filter, and fuel filter are replaced.
Batteries/Charging Systems
The battery is tested for load capacity and the alternator is tested for amp/voltage output to sustain the charge of the battery.
Brakes
All brake repairs begin with a thorough inspection to determine which parts or components need replacement or maintenance. Brake fluid is checked at the time of each oil change.
Clutches/Flywheels
Requires removal of a vehicle’s transmission to replace a three part clutch assembly that includes pressure plate, disc, and throw-out bearing. The flywheel must also be machined. This is a very time-consuming repair.
Cooling Systems/Radiators
One of our technicians checks the engine cooling system for proper antifreeze/coolant level, leaks, acid level and proper flow. In order for the cooling system to operate properly, belts, hoses, radiator, water pump and cooling fan/s must be in good condition and there should be no restrictions.
Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
Electrical Work
Tracing and locating shorts in the vehicle’s electrical system, which includes window motors, door locks, taillights, headlights, and instrument clusters. Due to the complexity of a vehicle’s electrical system, this work is best left to one of our highly trained technicians.
Electric Windows/Door Lock
Our highly trained electrical specialists are able to trace and locate shorts, in order to replace defective parts as necessary.
Engine Diagnostics
A set of tests using an engine scan computer will locate the source of poor engine performance or running problems. The vehicle’s sensors, fuel pressure and emission systems are all checked by a highly trained Technician.
Fuel Injection
We monitor, maintain, or replace the components of a fuel injection system to keep the vehicle running at optimum performance reducing green house gas emissions and protecting the environment.
Lube, Oil Change and Filter Change
We recommend changing engine oil and filter according to your owner’s manual. While performing an oil change, our technicians check all fluids and perform a mini maintenance inspection. Most new vehicles do not require greasing, as moving parts are lubricated and sealed at the factory.
Reprogramming/Flash
Today’s vehicles have many computers and these sometimes require reprogramming as recommended by the manufacturer. In addition, reprogramming the car’s computer can be a repair or part of a repair.
Shocks/Struts/CV Joints
The shocks and struts control the ride of a vehicle and keep the wheels in contact with the road. Neither shocks nor struts can be repaired and the entire unit must be replaced. The boot covering the CV joint must be inspected for tears or breaks by a trained technician. This will prevent future damage from loss of lubrication and water or debris entering the precision machined components of the axle joint.
Timing Belts
We recommend replacing timing belts as a part of a standard maintenance program. Failure to do so can cause sudden catastrophic engine damage.

th pictures and video of the inspection.
