Car won't start or losing charge? Our diagnostic-first approach pinpoints battery, alternator, and starter issues accurately — so you avoid replacing parts you don't need.
Hearing squealing, grinding, or feeling a soft pedal? Our certified technicians inspect, repair, and replace brake components with precision — backed by a 3-year warranty.
Rough shifting, slipping gears, or delayed engagement? We diagnose transmission problems accurately and offer repairs from fluid service to complete rebuilds.
A/C blowing warm air or not cooling enough? In South Florida heat, a working A/C isn't optional. We diagnose and fix the issue — not just recharge the system.
Overdue for an oil change or hearing engine noise? Regular oil and filter service is the single most effective way to extend your engine's life and prevent costly damage.
Check engine light on? Something feels wrong but you're not sure what? Our advanced diagnostics identify the real problem — so you fix the right thing the first time.
Want to avoid surprise breakdowns and expensive emergency repairs? Scheduled maintenance at the right intervals keeps your vehicle reliable, safe, and holding its value.
Vehicle pulling to one side, bouncing over bumps, or steering feels loose? Worn suspension components affect safety, tire wear, and ride comfort.
Poor gas mileage, rough idle, or hesitation when accelerating? Clogged injectors and worn fuel components rob your engine of power and efficiency.
Own a hybrid or electric vehicle? Finding a qualified technician matters. We specialize in EV diagnostics, battery health, and hybrid-specific maintenance.
Tires wearing unevenly or vehicle pulling to one side? Proper alignment and rotation extend tire life and improve handling — we offer free alignment checks.
Need new tires or a flat repair? We carry quality brands at competitive prices with professional installation, balancing, and TPMS service included.
High-mileage vehicle losing power or burning oil? A full powertrain restoration can bring your engine and transmission back to reliable performance — often for less than a new car.
Want to keep your warranty valid and your vehicle running like new? We follow your manufacturer's exact maintenance schedule using OEM-quality parts.
South Florida sun, salt air, and road grime take a toll on your finish. Our professional wash and detail services protect your paint and preserve your vehicle's value.
