During periodic checks, we check battery condition, belts, hoses, tire pressure and tread, brake pad wear, and air filters for cabin and engine to sustain safety and performance.
We perform fluid analysis to track oxidation, contamination, and additive depletion in engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid, then replace or flush based on documented thresholds, not guesswork. We also check charging output, inspect wiper systems, align wheels, and torque critical fasteners to spec. With precision tools and documented results, you'll catch small issues early, maintain warranty coverage, prolong component lifespan, and maintain predictable ownership costs.
Engine, Transmission, and Drivetrain Expertise
Even though symptoms can overlap, we pinpoint engine, transmission, and drivetrain issues with diagnostic data-based diagnostics before we turn a wrench. We analyze live PIDs, conduct compression and leak-down tests, confirm fuel trims, and examine ignition patterns to resolve rough idle, cold starts, or oil dilution from misfires and short trips. You obtain comprehensive results, repair solutions, and expected outcomes.
For transmissions, we assess line pressure, shift timing, solenoid duty cycles, and fluid condition to avoid slip, flare, or harsh engagements. We update TCM/PCM when strategy updates fix drivability problems.
Drivetrain inspections include CV joints, U-joints, differential lash, and wheel bearing noise analysis. We confirm angles and balance to eradicate vibration under load. You approve every step, and we document findings so you comprehend the cause, the correction, and warranty coverage.
Brake, Suspension & Steering Solutions
