Common questions
My car is overheating. Can I keep driving?
No — pull over and turn off the engine. Driving an overheating engine can warp the head and turn a $300 repair into a $3,000 one. Call us and we'll help arrange a tow.
When does my timing belt need replacing?
Usually every 60,000–105,000 miles depending on the engine. Some engines use a chain instead. We'll look up your exact interval.
Do you work on diesels?
We service light-duty diesel trucks and SUVs. Call us about heavy-duty vehicles.
