Modern vehicles rely on dozens of electronic modules to control different systems.

This Ford Escape came in with an issue related to the Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module, which helps manage keyless entry and communication with the key fob.

After diagnosing the issue, our technician replaced the module and verified proper communication using our professional diagnostic equipment.

Electrical diagnostics and module replacement require the right tools and experience to ensure everything works correctly.

If your vehicle is having electrical issues or key fob problems, our team can help.

Behind the scenes in the shop.

Our Hunter tire machine safely removes tires from the wheel without damaging the rim — especially important on modern wheels and low-profile tires.

Professional tools and experienced technicians make a big difference when it comes to protecting your vehicle.

Behind the scenes in the shop.

Before we can inspect brakes, suspension, or steering components, the wheel has to come off. This is one of the first steps in a thorough vehicle inspection.

Our technicians remove the wheel to check components like brake pads, rotors, suspension parts, and wheel bearings to make sure everything is safe and functioning properly.

Routine inspections help catch small issues before they turn into expensive repairs.

Not all oil leaks are simple.

This 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 came in with an oil leak that turned out to be a rear main seal. This seal sits at the back of the engine where it meets the transmission.

To repair it correctly the transmission has to be removed so we can access the crankshaft seal and reseal the engine properly.

These leaks are common on higher mileage trucks and if ignored they can lead to major oil loss and contamination of other components.

If you’re seeing oil spots in the driveway or noticing your oil level dropping, it’s worth having it inspected.

Our team handles everything from routine maintenance to major engine repairs.
