Season Preparation
A/C Repair
If your car isn’t cooling down properly, chances are your air conditioning system needs a repair. We use a three-point inspection that looks at electrical function, refrigerant charge, and the mechanical function.
A/C Repair FAQs
Q: How long will it take to fix the A/C in my car?
A: Vehicles are more sophisticated now than they were 20 years ago. This is not a sit-and-wait repair. You will need to drop your car off.
Q: Do you use any special equipment to repair A/C?
A: We have four different A/C machines to ensure we put the correct refrigerant in your specific vehicle. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
Q: Are you environmentally conscious?
A: We are licensed to carry refrigerant and we take EVERY precaution to ensure it is handled with the utmost care and disposed of through the proper channels.
Alternator Repair
Today’s cars have a heart of electronics. Meaning that just because you see common symptoms of an alternator failure, doesn’t mean your alternator has actually failed. Sometimes it’s as simple as a loose battery cable other times it’s something more complicated.
Alternator Repair FAQs
Q: What are some common symptoms of a bad alternator?
A: Car stalling or difficulty starting, headlights flicker or are dim, your replacement battery is discharged quickly
Q: My vehicle has Start/Stop Technology how does this impact my alternator?
A: It’s even more imperative to have an alternator working at optimal performance because when you’re at a red light and your vehicle “turns off” you might have your A/C and radio still going. That requires a battery that’s always charged.
Belts & Hoses
Belts and hoses may wear over time, especially when subjected to harsh temperatures. If you’re experiencing a loss of power or hearing a squealing noise, allow us to examine your vehicle and get you back to running at peak performance.
Belts & Hoses FAQs
Q: How does being in a Severe-Duty State impact my belts and hoses?
A: Belts and hoses can wear faster in Oklahoma due to the drastic temperature changes. This can cause them to soften and harden and no longer hold the proper tension, or crack in the case of hoses. We know the correct wear and maintenance intervals for your specific vehicle, so we can always give you options and a heads up when you should think about replacing.
Brake Repair
Your brakes should be examined at least once a year to ensure you are safe in your vehicle at all times! As the main driver of your vehicle you, and you alone, can feel when something has changed. Any small changes can signify that your brakes need to be repaired. This is not something you want to put off!
Brake Repair FAQs
Q: What are some symptoms of needing brake repair?
A: First, is feel. If you need to push your pedal in further, you should come see us. If you’re hearing squealing or a high-pitched noise when you brake, you should come see us. Our team will diagnose, fix, and inspect your brakes to make sure they are properly repaired.
Q: Do front brakes wear at a faster rate than the back brakes?
A: Front brakes wear more quickly when rear drums are on the vehicle. As a general rule, 4-wheel drives brakes are designed to wear more evenly.
Cooling System Repair
Your vehicle’s cooling system is designed to minimize and control heat to ensure your engine and all of its components work efficiently and effectively. Did you know? Many of the symptoms of issues experienced in the A/C, transmission, and engine can swing back to the cooling system. This is why we inspect your vehicle bumper-to-bumper — your car’s systems are all interconnected. If one part of your vehicle is not working as intended, it can put undue stress and wear on other systems.
Cooling System FAQs
Q: What type of coolant does my vehicle need?
A: We’re proud of the fact that we treat every vehicle on its own merits, not trying a one-size-fits-all approach. That said, your vehicle will receive the recommended coolant made for your specific vehicle.
Q: Can I drive on low coolant?
A: We highly recommend that you don’t! This can create air bubbles in the system which in turn can harm your engine. Your dash display should let you know when you’re running low. If you find yourself needing to fill your coolant often, give us a call!

Engine Diagnostics
Our ASE-Certified technicians have years of experience diagnosing and repairing all sorts of engine malfunctions. Rest assured, we will find the problem and fix it, getting you back on the road in no time. We have OEM scanners for all the major vehicle makes to ensure your vehicle is properly diagnosed. These scanners pick up what your local auto parts stores scanners won’t. Again, we don’t believe in an one-size-fits-all approach and this is another example of treating you and your vehicle as if you are family, not a number.
Engine Diagnostics FAQs
A: We take the time to properly diagnose. We’re not satisfied with just finding the obvious, we also want to find any underlying or lingering issues that can impact your vehicle’s performance. We make you aware and let you choose if and when you want to tackle those repairs.
Q: When should I bring my vehicle in for an engine diagnostics?
A: When you feel like your fuel economy is impacted and your vehicle idles hard, yet a run-of-the-mill code scanner produces no error codes. Bring it to us, and we will identify the issue.
Major Repairs
We hope your vehicle never requires a major repair. We’re proud to be your one-stop auto shop for your vehicle, engine and differential repairs. By working bumper-to-bumper, we can identify issues that impact your entire car, not just one system. If you’re dropping a new engine in your vehicle, give us a call first and let’s see what we can do for you!

- We won’t give you an estimate, or even a guesstimate, until we see your vehicle. We believe that any shop that does, is setting themselves and you up for failure.
Turbo/Exhaust System Repairs
Your vehicle’s exhaust system reduces noise and removes harmful fumes away from your vehicle. Today’s cars are made with a muffler that doesn’t fail. Since we have OEM scanners for most vehicle makes it allows us to properly diagnose issues within the exhaust system. It’s easy to slap an expensive oxygen sensor into your vehicle, but we’re not satisfied until we understand why that particular code surfaced. More times than not, that oxygen sensor was just fine, there was an issue before it affected the sensor.
Turbo/Exhaust System Repairs FAQs
Q: How will I know I need to have my exhaust system looked at?
A: If you hear loud thumps or bangs or if you feel your muffler rattling or vibrating, especially when idling.
Q: What can you do for my Turbo system?
A: Every vehicle and its needs are different. It’s best to give us a call to review your options.

Q: Should you replace shocks & struts in pairs?
A: Unless you’ve been in an accident that’s damaged your suspension system, you often don’t notice the gradual deterioration in your ride quality. When one strut or shock requires repair or replacement, the other one does as well since there is no significant difference in wear rates.
Q: How long will an alignment job take?
A: To properly assess the issue, the typical job takes 4-6 hours (Inspection/Alignment/Quality Control Test Drive). So, you will need to drop your vehicle off.
Transmission Repairs
In today’s vehicles, transmissions are fully electronic and we believe it’s a disservice to you to give you a price over the phone. This complex system needs to be looked at in person to allow us to correctly assess the issue. Our rigorous diagnostic testing assures we give you the out-the-door cost with no surprises. We will never diagnose an issue over the phone. You and your vehicle deserve better than that.

Tune-Up FAQ
