2017 Chevy Colorado has had no heat and no AC for months until they came to see us! The check engine light was on with a coolant performance fault stored but after a quick test drive we found engine coolant temp drops when cruising. This is a definitive symptom of a stuck open thermostat. We replaced the thermostat with a new housing and gasket and now this truck has working climate control!

2016 Golf R came in smoking from the tail pipes with a heavy scent of raw fuel. We found that the high pressure fuel pump was leaking into the crank case causing maxed out negative fuel trims! Unfortunately for this engine the low oil pressure light also came on caused by 10 PSI at idle. Major engine work will need to be done or the engine replaced. If you need your car professionally diagnosed please give us a call or stop by!🔧🚙

Customer called us at about 11:00PM because she hit a curb in her Kia Soul. She relies on her vehicle for school and work so we headed to the shop and got her a quote that same night! Luckily all parts were in stock so we got this Kia back on the road the next day! We live here in DeKalb and can be at the shop in the matter of minutes!

2009 Honda pilot came in to get some mechanical repairs after an accident! The wheel was severely out of alignment so we did a thorough visual inspection to find that it was a bent strut right where it goes into the knuckle. After replacing the entire strut assembly and a quick alignment this pilot is straight as an arrow!
Call or text us to schedule an appointment!

2018 Honda Civic came in with multiple lights on the dashboard including ABS and BRAKE. After scanning the car there was an open circuit fault stored for the right rear parking brake motor so we performed a quick visual inspection and found that it was unplugged. Even with it correctly seated all the way the fault did not clear. We went back to the motor again and substituted a test light in place of the motor and then using output controls forced the motor on. The bulb did not light so then we started to individually check each leg of the circuit and found that it was missing ground. Luckily the problem was just behind the boot so a new pigtail will take care of this Honda! 👍🏼 Stop on by for any vehicle needs! 😊🔧🚗

2019 GLI came in for a 4 wheel brake job and a DSG service! These transmissions are very sensitive to oil level and we have many years of experience to make sure your transmissions shifts better than when it came in! 😊👍🏼 to top it off we preformed a brake flush to renew the entire brake system! 🚗🔧

This MINI Cooper came in to have their brakes replaced but after we removed the wheels all components still had lots of life left. The service brakes light was on the dash so we started to diagnose a pad wear sensor issue. We quickly found that it was two broken wires causing an open on the circuit which flagged the warning light. For honest electrical work call or text us to get you in!
