The technician will then take the vehicle for a test drive to check how the vehicle handles on the road. When purchasing a used vehicle its better to know than not to know what you are actually buying.

COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS
Today’s vehicles, especially the German vehicles, are run mostly by computer and electrical components.

We pride ourselves on using state of the art diagnostic equipment and up to date, dealer equivalent scanners. You can rest assure that our technicians will be able to properly identify issues with your vehicle and only make repairs that are necessary given the situation.
COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS
One of the most feared repairs from consumers is a repair on the vehicle’s transmission. Several factors play into the functionality and life span of the transmission. The best tactic to increase the life span and improve functionality is to have your transmission serviced by our certified technicians. Our techs can perform all transmission services including transmission flushes and transmission filter changes. If worst comes to worst we offer transmission rebuilds and transmission replacement at competitively low pricing.
CHARGING SYSTEMS
Today’s vehicles come equipped with many electrical devices that assist in safe driving and driver comfort. These devices require electricity both while the car is in motion and while it is at a stop. Your vehicle’s charging system consists of several components including the battery, alternator, and starter that supply the vehicle with the electrical power it needs. The vehicle’s battery is the direct source of electrical power and the alternator with the help of other charging system components assist in supplying electricity as well as recharging the battery. Let our certified technicians routinely inspect your charging system to ensure that your vehicle does not leave you stranded or put your safety at risk.
