We Find Problems, We Don’t Guess at Them
Advanced Vehicle Diagnostics
That check engine light could mean anything from a loose gas cap to a catastrophic engine failure. Instead of throwing parts at the problem and hoping for the best, we use data to find the root cause. With our Autel professional-grade diagnostic equipment, we offer dealership-level insights for European, exotic, domestic, and performance vehicles.
Our Diagnostic Capabilities Include:
- Full System Scan: We scan every computer module in your vehicle, not just the engine. This includes the transmission, ABS, airbags, body control module (BCM), HVAC, and suspension. We read current, pending, and historical fault codes to get a complete picture of your car’s health.
- Check Engine Light Diagnostics: We go beyond just reading the code. We use live data analysis to monitor sensor performance in real-time, verifying the issue before recommending a repair.
- Live Data & Sensor Analysis: Is your car running rough or getting poor fuel economy? We can monitor fuel trims, boost pressure, temperatures, and sensor outputs to diagnose drivability issues and intermittent faults that don’t always trigger a light.
- Module Coding & Adaptations: After replacing a part, modern cars often need to be told it's there. We perform reset and relearn procedures for throttle bodies, steering angle sensors, and new batteries.
- Pre-Purchase Diagnostics: Thinking of buying a used performance or exotic car? Let us run a full diagnostic health report first. We can uncover hidden faults or stored codes that could save you from a very expensive mistake.
The Lifeblood of Your Machine
Oil & Fluid Services
Changing your oil is the single most important thing you can do for your engine. But not all oil is created equal, and your car has more fluids than just what’s in the engine. We offer comprehensive fluid services using only the highest quality synthetic oils and fluids designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications.
Synthetic Oil Changes
We use premium synthetic oil that provides superior protection against heat and wear, which is critical for modern turbocharged and high-performance engines. It's not just oil; it's insurance for your engine.
Transmission Fluid Service
Your transmission has hundreds of moving parts. Clean fluid keeps it shifting smoothly and prevents costly damage down the road.
Differential Fluid Service
The differential transfers power to your wheels. Fresh fluid ensures it operates quietly and efficiently, especially in all-wheel-drive systems.

Vehicle Maintenance FAQ’s
What kind of oil do you use?
We use only high-quality, full synthetic oils that meet or exceed the manufacturer's specifications for your specific vehicle. For high-performance and European cars, using the correct oil is non-negotiable.
Do you work on all makes and models?
We specialize in European, exotic, and performance vehicles, but we are equipped to service most makes and models. If you have a question about your specific vehicle, just give us a call.
How often should I change my oil?
It depends on your vehicle and how you drive. The old "3,000-mile" rule doesn't really apply to modern synthetic oils. We generally recommend following your manufacturer's suggested service interval, which is typically between 5,000 and 10,000 miles.
My check engine light is on. Can you just turn it off?
We can clear the code, but if we don't fix the underlying problem, the light will just come back on. Our goal is to properly diagnose and repair the issue so the light stays off for good.
Can I bring my own parts for you to install?
We prefer to source parts for you. This allows us to guarantee that the parts are correct for your vehicle and of high quality. It also lets us handle any warranty issues if a part is defective.
Do you offer loaner vehicles?
We do not offer loaner vehicles at this time, but we can recommend local rental car services if you need transportation while your car is with us.
