What We Do

Complete Auto Care,
Under One Roof

Whether it's a check engine light or a full service interval, we handle it with care and clear communication — so you know exactly what your vehicle needs and why.

Engine Diagnostics

Modern vehicles speak in codes. We translate them — pinpointing check engine lights, performance issues, and warning signs before they become costly repairs.

Oil & Fluid Services

Quality oil changes, fluid checks, and replacements using the right specifications for your vehicle — keeping your engine running clean and protected mile after mile.

Brake Repair

Brake pads, rotors, calipers, and fluid — if it stops your vehicle, we service it. Honest assessments, no unnecessary replacements, and fair pricing every time.

State Inspection Prep

Don't get caught off guard at the station. We'll identify and fix common failure points beforehand so your vehicle passes the first time — saving you the trip and the hassle.

Suspension & Steering

Uneven tire wear, pulling, or a rough ride? We diagnose and repair struts, shocks, tie rods, and alignment issues so your vehicle handles as it should.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Buying a used vehicle? We'll give you a clear, unbiased report on its condition — so you make an informed decision and avoid surprises down the road.

Customer Feedback

What Our Neighbors Say

We don't need stars or badges to tell our story. The people who drive through our bay every day say it best.

I brought my truck in for a noise I'd been ignoring. Mike told me exactly what was wrong, showed me the worn parts, and had me back on the road the same day. Fair price, no upsell — that's rare.

After a bad experience elsewhere, I was nervous about trusting anyone with my car. Mike earned my trust quickly — he explained everything in plain English and never made me feel like I didn't know enough to ask questions.
