Brake Repair and Service

Properly functioning brakes can be a matter of life and death. It can be a scary feeling to see the brake warning light come on. If your brakes don’t function, then you shouldn’t be driving your car. You can survive rather simply without air conditioning or a heater, but your brakes should be in top shape at all times.

Transmission Repair and Service

We can handle virtually any transmission service need, including repairs and flushes, automatic transmissions, manual transmissions and clutches.

Check Engine Light Service

Check Engine Light Service

Is Your Check Engine Light On? The first thing to remember is that when the check engine light stays on, its time for some car maintenance. Inspecting your car sooner rather than later can help you to avoid costly repair problems down the road. The service engine light is connected to the electronic control module (ECM) of the vehicle. The ECM essentially acts as the electrical brain. It your car’s on-board computer.

Air Conditioning Repair and Service

Air Conditioning Repair and Service

Does your AC work, but it just isn’t as good as it used to be? This problem could be caused by low refrigerant pressure. This could be an easy fix of recharging your air conditioning refrigerant.
