  • Do you repair transmissions?

    No. We do not offer transmission repair or replacement. If we diagnose a transmission-related issue, we’ll let you know right away and recommend a trusted local specialist. This helps us stay focused on what we do best.

  • What’s the “Concern, Cause, Correction” approach?

    It’s how we explain every repair:

    • Concern: What the customer or vehicle is reporting (noise, light, issue).
    • Cause: What’s actually causing the problem, based on diagnostics.
    • Correction: What needs to be done to fix it, explained clearly and honestly.

    No guesswork. No hidden fees. Just real answers.
