Questions

Answers before you call

Do you service classic vehicles as well as modern ones?

Yes. Classic vehicles are handled with the mechanical knowledge that older fuel, ignition, and driveline systems require, while modern vehicles are diagnosed with scan data and live sensor readings. Both are worked on in the same building.

Should a transmission be rebuilt or replaced?

It depends on what failed. Internal failures caught early — a clutch pack, valve body, or seal — are often rebuildable. Damage to the case, hard parts, or the pump usually makes replacement the more sensible path. Inspection after removal determines which applies.

Can you work on a vehicle that another shop started?

Often, yes. We inspect what was done, identify what still needs to be corrected, and give you a plan based on the vehicle's current state rather than assumptions about the previous work.

Do you handle mechanical work discovered during a build?

Yes, and that is one advantage of a single facility. When teardown or paint work reveals a mechanical issue, it is addressed by the same team without shipping the vehicle out.
