What each one actually involves
Check-engine & diagnostics
Anyone can read a code. We find the cause: scope, smoke test, live data. You get a text with what we found, a photo, and the price. Nothing happens until you say go.
Brakes
We measure and show you the numbers. If you have 40% left, we tell you to come back in six months instead of selling you brakes today.
Oil change & maintenance
Full synthetic with the manufacturer-spec oil, not whatever's on the shelf. Includes rotation and a photo report of anything we noticed.
Transmission
We'll tell you honestly whether a fluid service will help or whether you're looking at a rebuild. If the car isn't worth the repair, we'll say that too.
AC & heat
Leak found with dye and pressure test before we recharge, so you're not back in three weeks.
Tires & alignment
Alignment printout before and after. We sell tires at a fair margin; if you find them cheaper, bring them and we'll mount them.
Emissions repair
We're a recognized repair facility. Bring the failed inspection report; we fix the actual cause and send you back to retest.
Pre-purchase inspection
Ninety minutes on the lift with a written report and photos. Has stopped a lot of bad purchases. Worth every dollar of $149.
