What to expect
Here's what happens when you bring it to us
-
We start by finding out what's really going on.
Every time your car or truck comes in, it goes up on the lift for a complimentary inspection. We look over the whole vehicle, not only what you came in for, so we find the real cause and don't miss anything. Then we can tell you exactly where your vehicle stands and what it needs to stay safe and reliable.
-
We put together a detailed report and go through it with you.
Everything we find goes into a digital inspection report with photos and video of your own vehicle, sent straight to your phone. You get to see it for yourself, and we'll walk through it with you and answer every question before any work starts.
-
You get a clear game plan.
We'll let you know what needs to be fixed right away to keep you safe, and what you can plan for down the road. That way nothing sneaks up on you, and you can take care of the rest when it fits your budget.
-
Once you give the go-ahead, we fix it and road test it.
When the repair's done, we take it for a drive to make sure it runs the way it should, and the work is backed by our 3-year, 36,000-mile nationwide warranty.

Services
We work on everything from the family car to the diesel work truck
Cars, SUVs and pickups like the F-150, Silverado, Sierra, Ram and Tundra, plus diesel trucks all the way up to medium-duty, foreign or domestic. Here's some of what comes through our bays every day.
-
Check engine & warning lights
Check engine light on, or flashing? Running rough, stalling or losing power? We'll find the root cause before we replace anything.
-
Brakes
Squealing, grinding, a soft pedal or a shake when you stop. We'll get you stopping smooth and quiet again.
-
Suspension & steering
Clunking over bumps, a bouncy ride, hard steering or a whine when you turn. We install Bilstein shocks and struts.
-
Wheel alignment
Pulling to one side, a crooked steering wheel or tires wearing unevenly. We set it back to factory specs on our Hunter Hawkeye Elite.
-
Transmission
Slipping, hard or late shifts, a shudder or a red puddle under the car. We'll tell you whether it needs a repair or a replacement.
-
Diesel repair
Hard starts, smoke or a loss of power? We work on Power Stroke, Duramax and Cummins diesels, from F-250s and Silverado 2500HDs to Ram 3500s, including fuel systems, injectors and turbos.
-
Fleet vehicles
Company cars, work vans like Transits and Express vans, and pickups, gas or diesel. Whether it's one truck or twenty, we'll keep your crew working.
-
Pre-purchase inspection
Thinking about buying a used car or truck? We'll put it on the lift and show you exactly what you'd be getting before you buy.
-
A/C & heater
Warm air from the vents, A/C that comes and goes, or no heat or defrost when you need it.
-
Engine & cooling
Running hot, leaking coolant or oil, knocking, ticking or misfiring.
-
Battery & electrical
Won't start, a battery that keeps dying, lights that flicker or a fuse that keeps blowing.
-
Something else?
A new noise, a strange smell or something that just doesn't feel right. It's worth having us take a look before it turns into something bigger.
Whatever your car or truck is doing, we'll find out why and fix it so it stays fixed.

Questions
Questions before you call
How do I know I really need the repair?
Because you'll see it for yourself. Everything we find comes with photos and video, and we'll go through it with you. We'll tell you what needs to be done now to keep you safe and what can be planned for later, and nothing gets done until you say so.
Is the inspection really complimentary?
Yes. Every car and truck that comes in gets one, every visit. If you're coming in for a specific problem, like a check engine light, finding the cause is a separate diagnostic service, and we'll go over that with you up front.
Do you work on diesel trucks?
Yes. Diesels are a big part of what we do. We work on Ford Power Stroke, GM Duramax and Ram Cummins, whether it's an F-250, a Silverado or Sierra 2500HD, a Ram 3500 or a medium-duty work truck.
Do you work on fleet vehicles?
Yes. We work on company cars, vans and work trucks, gas or diesel. Whether you run one truck or a whole fleet, we'll work around your schedule so your trucks aren't sitting.
What does the warranty cover?
Our repairs are backed for 3 years or 36,000 miles, and the warranty is good nationwide with roadside assistance. Complete terms and exclusions are available at the shop.
Can you get me home while it's in the shop?
Yes. If it's going to take a while, we'll make sure you have a ride home or to work, and back when it's ready.
Bring it to us and we'll take care of it.
So you can get back to work, your family and everything else on your plate without worrying about your car or truck.
