Big repairs don’t play favorites. This one is a family vehicle of ours, and it needed a replacement engine.

Pulling an engine means unhooking just about everything under the hood: wiring, hoses, cooling lines, and mounts. Then the old engine comes out and the new one goes in. That’s an empty engine bay in the second photo, and the replacement engine still in the crate in the third.

Engine trouble doesn’t always give much warning. When it does, it’s worth paying attention. A check engine light, new noises, an oil pressure warning, or a change in how it runs are all good reasons to get it looked at sooner rather than later. If something seems off, give us a call or shoot us a text and we’ll take a look. 🔧

Michigan road salt did a number on this Jeep’s rear subframe. 🧂

The subframe is what the rear suspension mounts to. After enough winters of salt sitting on it, the metal rusted until it was flaking apart. You can see in the photo how bad it got. We replaced it with a new subframe and got it back on the road.

This isn’t just a Jeep thing. We see it on all kinds of vehicles around here, because everything in Michigan spends months driving on salted roads.

Salt season is on its way. Rinsing the underside of your vehicle through the winter helps. If you’re hearing clunks from the back end, or you just want someone to take a look underneath, give us a call or shoot us a text and we’ll get you on the schedule. 🔧

This 1990 Suburban came in with a seized motor. We pulled it and put in a new engine to keep this square body on the road. 🔧

Clean new engine sitting in an original engine bay. It's not something we see every day, and it's a good one.

Classic or daily driver, give us a call or shoot us a text to get on the schedule.

This Tahoe got the works: exhaust manifolds, several oil leaks fixed, and brakes. 🔧 That pile on the floor is what had to come off to get to it all.

If your engine ticks on a cold start, you're finding oil spots on the driveway, or your brakes are getting worn, get it looked at before winter hits.

Call or text us and we'll get you on the schedule.

2019 Expedition came in clattering. We pulled the front of the engine apart and found failing timing chain components. 🔧

The 3.5 EcoBoost is known for this one. If yours has started rattling, get it looked at before it turns into a bigger repair.

Hearing something off? Call or text us and we'll get you on the schedule.

Not every alignment we do is on something this fun to look at!

This beautiful ’39 Ford came through the shop for some alignment work this week. Whether it’s a classic like this or the vehicle you drive every day, proper alignment helps with handling, tire wear, and keeping your vehicle tracking the way it should.

We’ve also been busy with tires and brakes lately. With Michigan winter coming, now’s a good time to check tire tread and wear before the cold, wet roads and snow get here. If your tires are wearing unevenly, your vehicle is pulling, or something just doesn’t feel right, give us a call or shoot us a text to get on the schedule and we’ll take a look.
