Need a performance checkup? Feel like your car isn’t pulling like it used to? From diagnostics and tune-ups to preventative maintenance, we help you avoid costly breakdowns and keep your vehicle running like new. We offer the following:

  • Engine Diagnostic Service
    Identify and fix engine issues fast with our advanced diagnostic tools and expert technicians. When something’s off, your car will usually try to tell you — with a light, a noise, or a drop in performance. We use cutting-edge diagnostic scanners and hands-on testing to uncover the root of the issue quickly. Misfires, poor fuel trim, vacuum leaks, sensor failures, we’ve seen it all. We don’t just clear codes; we fix problems.
  • Tune-Up Service
    Enhance your car’s performance and efficiency with our professional tune-up services. Over time, spark plugs wear, filters clog, and sensors degrade. Our tune-up service restores lost performance, boosts fuel economy, and gives your engine that fresh-off-the-lot feeling again.
  • Timing Belt/Chain Service
    Prevent engine damage with the timely replacement of your vehicle’s timing belt or chain by our experts. Timing belts and chains control your engine’s internal rhythm. If they fail, the damage can be catastrophic. We inspect, replace, and time these components with expert precision, ensuring everything runs in perfect sync.
  • PCV Valve Service
    Maintain engine health with a proper PCV valve inspection and replacement for better performance. A faulty Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can lead to poor performance, oil leaks, or even internal engine damage. We’ll inspect and replace this vital component to maintain proper airflow and keep engine pressure in check.
  • Serpentine Belt Service
    Avoid breakdowns with regular serpentine belt inspections and replacements, ensuring reliable operation. This single belt powers your alternator, water pump, A/C, and more. Cracks, frays, or glazing? It’s time to swap it. We’ll inspect your belt and pulleys, replace worn components, and make sure your vehicle is ready for every turn of the key.

Commonly Asked Questions

How do I know if my engine needs diagnostics?
If your check engine light is on, your car is idling roughly, stalling, or showing a drop in power or fuel economy, it’s time to bring it in. The sooner we find the issue, the less damage it can do.

How often should I get a tune-up?
Most vehicles benefit from a tune-up every 30,000 miles, but it depends on your make, model, and driving habits. Newer cars with long-life components may go longer, but if performance dips, get it checked.

What happens if I don’t replace my timing belt?
A failed timing belt can destroy your engine. If your manufacturer recommends replacing it at 60,000 or 100,000 miles, don’t skip it. Timing chains can last longer but still need inspections.

Can a bad serpentine belt cause my car to break down?
Yes. If it snaps, you’ll lose power to vital components like the alternator, power steering, or water pump, which can lead to overheating or complete failure to run.

Is a faulty PCV valve really a big deal?
It can be. A bad PCV valve increases pressure inside your engine, which can lead to oil leaks, sludge buildup, and gasket damage. Replacing it is simple but essential.
