What We Fix

Full Service for Cars and Light Trucks

From a squeal at the stop sign to an engine that will not run right, bring it here. We find the cause first, then fix what needs fixing.

  • Check Engine Light

    We read the codes, then test to find the real cause. That is how hard faults like small evap leaks get fixed for good.

  • Brakes

    Pads, rotors, calipers, lines and fluid on all makes. If it squeals, grinds or pulls, we will check it.

  • Alignments

    Two and four wheel alignments, four wheel drive trucks, and lifted or lowered trucks.

  • Engine Repair

    Leaks, misfires, overheating and head work. Ralph is a master machinist, so the hard jobs are not sent away.

  • Cooling System

    Radiators, water pumps, hoses and coolant flushes, so your engine does not run hot on I-76.

  • Electrical and Diagnostics

    Batteries, starters, charging systems and the wiring faults other shops give up on.

  • Tune-Ups and Maintenance

    Plugs, filters, fluids and the service your owner's manual calls for, minor or major.

  • Tires and Emissions Repair

    Flat repairs and tire service, plus repairs to help your car pass an Ohio E-Check.
