Limited time Pre-trip Holiday Inspections to avoid costly last minute repairs $79.95
brake fluid service, coolant flush, engine flush, fuel system cleaning, transmission flush, tune-up, and general maintenance.
FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING
- Fuel Injector Cleaning: Special chemicals are run through the injectors to break down buildup that affects spray patterns.
- Intake/Combustion Cleaning: Deposits inside the intake manifold, throttle body, and valves are dissolved.
- Complete System Cleaning: Some services use pressurized machines or direct-rail cleaners to flush the entire system.
🚗 Benefits
- Restores lost fuel efficiency
- Improves throttle response and acceleration
- Reduces engine knocking/pinging
- Helps lower emissions
- Extends injector and engine life
BRAKE FLUID SERVICE
A brake fluid flush is the process of removing old, contaminated brake fluid from the system and replacing it with fresh fluid. Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture, which lowers its boiling point and can cause brake fade, corrosion, and damage to components like calipers, master cylinders, and ABS modules.
🚗 Why It’s Important
- Safety: Maintains consistent brake pedal feel and stopping power
- Prevention: Reduces corrosion inside brake lines, calipers, and ABS valves
- Performance: Keeps boiling point high to avoid brake fade under heavy use
- Longevity: Protects the master cylinder and ABS pump (costly parts to replace)
COOLANT FLUSH
A coolant flush (also called a radiator flush) is the process of draining the old antifreeze/coolant, cleaning out contaminants, and refilling the system with fresh fluid. Over time, coolant breaks down and loses its ability to prevent overheating, freezing, and corrosion inside the engine and radiator.
🚗 Why It’s Important
- Prevents Overheating: Fresh coolant keeps the engine at the right operating temperature.
- Stops Corrosion & Rust: Protects radiator, water pump, and heater core from internal damage.
- Maintains Freeze Protection: Ensures coolant doesn’t freeze in winter or boil in summer.
- Extends System Life: Protects hoses, gaskets, and seals from premature wear.

SPARK PLUG
A spark plug replacement involves removing old, worn spark plugs and installing new ones to restore proper ignition. Spark plugs are small but critical — they ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine. When worn, they can cause misfires, poor fuel economy, and engine damage.
🚗 Why It’s Important
- Restores Performance: Smooth acceleration, no hesitation or misfire.
- Improves Fuel Economy: Worn plugs cause inefficient combustion = wasted fuel.
- Protects Engine: Prevents damage to ignition coils and catalytic converters.
- Cleaner Emissions: Reduces unburned fuel and excess exhaust pollutants.
TRANSMISSION FLUSH
A transmission flush is the process of using specialized equipment to remove nearly all of the old automatic transmission fluid (ATF), debris, and contaminants from the transmission system. The machine cycles in new fluid while pushing out the old, ensuring the system is completely refreshed.
⚙️ Note: This is different from a drain & fill, which only replaces 30–50% of the fluid (since much remains in the torque converter and cooler lines).
🚗 Why It’s Important
- Smooth Shifting: Restores proper hydraulic pressure for crisp gear changes.
- Prevents Wear: Removes metal shavings and clutch material that can damage internal parts.
- Extends Transmission Life: Fresh fluid lubricates and cools moving parts.
- Protects Against Costly Repairs: Replacing a transmission can cost $3,000–$6,000+. A flush is preventive maintenance.
DIFFERNTIAL AND TRANSFER CASE FLUSH
- Differential Fluid Flush: Replaces the gear oil in the front and/or rear differential(s). This oil lubricates the ring & pinion gears that transfer power from the driveshaft to the wheels.
- Transfer Case Fluid Flush: Replaces the fluid in the transfer case (on 4WD & AWD vehicles). This fluid lubricates chains, gears, and bearings that distribute power between front and rear axles.
Both fluids break down over time due to heat, moisture, and metal wear particles, leading to noisy, rough, or even failed drivetrain components.
🚗 Why It’s Important
- Prevents Costly Repairs: Replacing a differential or transfer case can cost $1,500–$4,000+.
- Ensures Smooth Operation: Fresh fluid helps gears engage quietly and efficiently.
- Protects Against Wear: Removes metal shavings and contaminants that can grind down gears and bearings.
- Extends Lifespan: Keeps 4WD/AWD systems reliable for years to come.

ENGINE FLUSH
An engine flush is a chemical cleaning process performed before an oil change. A specially formulated cleaner is added to the old engine oil and run through the system for a short time at idle. This dissolves sludge, varnish, and carbon deposits inside the crankcase, oil galleys, and valve train. Afterward, the old oil and contaminants are drained, and fresh oil + filter are installed.
🚗 Why It’s Important
- Cleans Internal Components: Removes sludge that restricts oil flow.
- Restores Oil Circulation: Helps fresh oil reach all critical areas.
- Improves Performance: Reduces lifter noise, sticking rings, and poor lubrication.
- Extends Engine Life: Keeps internal parts lubricated and reduces wear.
- Prevents Costly Repairs: Protects timing chains, VVT solenoids, and turbos from sludge-related failure.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
A brake adjustment involves inspecting and fine-tuning the clearance between brake shoes/pads and the drums or rotors. On most modern cars with disc brakes, this is rarely needed since they are self-adjusting — but on drum brakes, parking brakes, and some older vehicles, manual adjustment ensures proper brake engagement.
🚗 Why It’s Important
- Restores Braking Performance: Ensures brakes apply evenly and with proper force.
- Reduces Pedal Travel: Eliminates “low” or “soft” brake pedal feel caused by mis adjustment.
- Improves Safety: Ensures full stopping power is available when needed.
- Extends Brake Life: Keeps wear even across shoes/pads, reducing premature replacement.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
A wheel alignment (also called a tire alignment) is the adjustment of the suspension angles — camber, caster, and toe — so that all four wheels point in the proper direction. Specialized alignment equipment is used to measure and adjust these angles back to factory specifications.
🚗 Why It’s Important
- Extends Tire Life: Prevents uneven wear that can destroy a set of tires prematurely.
- Improves Handling: Keeps the vehicle tracking straight and stable, especially at highway speeds.
- Boosts Fuel Efficiency: Reduces rolling resistance caused by misaligned wheels.
- Safety: Ensures maximum contact patch for effective braking and control.

THROTLE BODY SERVICE
A throttle body service involves cleaning the throttle plate and housing where air enters the engine. Over time, carbon, oil vapors, and dirt build up inside the throttle body, causing the plate to stick or airflow to become restricted. Cleaning restores smooth airflow and proper idle control.
🚗 Why It’s Important
- Restores Idle Quality: Prevents stalling, rough idle, or surging.
- Improves Throttle Response: Eliminates hesitation when pressing the gas pedal.
- Boosts Fuel Economy: Ensures the right air-fuel mixture for combustion.
- Prevents Costly Repairs: Protects sensors and electronic throttle actuators from sticking or failure.
PREVENT MANITANCE
Preventive maintenance is the routine care and servicing of a vehicle to keep it running safely, efficiently, and reliably. Instead of waiting for breakdowns or costly repairs, preventive maintenance focuses on catching issues early and replacing fluids/parts before failure.
🚗 Why It’s Important
- Saves Money: Avoids major breakdowns and expensive repairs.
- Boosts Safety: Ensures brakes, tires, steering, and suspension work as intended.
- Maximizes Performance: Keeps engine and transmission running smoothly.
- Extends Vehicle Life: Regular care helps cars last longer with fewer problems.
- Protects Resale Value: Well-documented maintenance history increases resale or trade-in value.
PRE PURCHACE INSPECTION
A Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) is a comprehensive evaluation of a used vehicle before buying it. The inspection covers the car’s mechanical, electrical, cosmetic, and safety systems to uncover hidden issues that may not be visible during a test drive.
🚗 Why It’s Important
- Protects Buyers: Helps customers avoid buying a “lemon.”
- Saves Money: Identifies potential costly repairs before purchase.
- Negotiation Power: Inspection results can be used to lower the purchase price.
