FAQ

Can I get a quote for an exhaust over the phone?

We’re happy to provide estimates, but because every vehicle’s exhaust system is different, we need to inspect your vehicle in person to give an accurate quote. This ensures you get the right parts and labor for your specific car

What types of general auto services do you offer?

We provide a full range of services, including routine maintenance, diagnostics, oil and lube changes, and comprehensive repairs. Every vehicle is treated with care, as if it were our own.

How do I know if my brakes or suspension need service?

Signs include unusual noises, vibrations, pulling to one side, or a rough ride. We also recommend regular inspections to ensure your brakes and suspension components are functioning safely.

Do you handle engine and transmission repairs?

We handle engine and minor transmission repairs, such as small fixes and tune-ups. For major overhauls, we can recommend trusted specialists to ensure your vehicle gets the care it needs.

Can you repair or upgrade my exhaust system?

Absolutely! We offer exhaust and muffler repairs, custom exhaust builds, performance glass packs, and high-quality parts to improve your vehicle’s performance and sound.

Do you sell and install tires?

Yes. While we don’t keep tires in stock, we order tires per customer and provide expert installation using trusted brands to ensure safety, performance, and a smooth ride.

How often should I bring my car in for routine maintenance?

Regular maintenance depends on your vehicle and driving habits, but a good rule of thumb is every 3–5,000 miles for oil changes. During every oil change, we perform a 21-point inspection to check your car’s major systems and catch potential issues early.

Can you diagnose mysterious car noises or problems?

Yes. Our team specializes in troubleshooting and diagnosing unusual sounds, vibrations, and other performance issues to get your car back to top condition.

Do you offer any guarantees on your repairs or services?

We stand behind our work. Most repairs come with warranties on parts and labor, giving you peace of mind every time you leave our shop.

Are your technicians certified and experienced?
