Our story

Straight Answers, Every Time

We work on foreign and domestic vehicles at our shop on Kern Street, from routine oil changes to full engine and transmission rebuilds. Diesel trucks come through our bays too, including intake manifold work on 6.7 Cummins engines.

Customers keep coming back because we tell them what's actually wrong, not what pads the invoice. We'll check a car out for free when something sounds off, walk through the repair options and what each one costs, and if a job needs to run past closing to get someone back on the road, we stay.

One customer has been bringing his cars to us since 2000. That kind of relationship, built one honest repair at a time, is what we're after with every vehicle that comes through the door.

  • Transmission & engine rebuilds
  • Free diagnostic checks
  • Foreign, domestic & diesel
  • Same-day repairs when possible
