Most services (like oil changes, brakes, batteries) are done same day. Diagnostics or major repairs may take longer — we’ll always give you a time estimate before work begins.
Our technicians have years of hands-on experience across all major makes and models.
It could be a minor issue like a loose gas cap or something more serious. Our engine diagnostics service will scan your car and pinpoint the problem quickly.
Every 5,000 to 8,000 km is typical. We recommend checking your owner’s manual or stopping in for a quick inspection — we’ll advise what’s best for your vehicle and driving habits.
Squealing could mean your brake pads are worn, or the rotors need servicing. Our technicians will inspect your system and only recommend what’s necessary.
Costs vary based on vehicle type and repair needed. We offer free inspections and clear, upfront estimates.
Most brake repairs are completed the same day — often within 1–2 hours.
Squeaky brakes can signal worn pads. Driving too long can damage rotors or lead to unsafe stopping.
Common signs include squeaking or grinding noises, longer stopping distances, a soft brake pedal, or a warning light. If you're unsure, we offer free brake inspections — no pressure, no obligation.
Prices vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle and the extent of the repair (pads, rotors, fluid, etc.). Most standard brake jobs range from $150–$400. We’ll always give you a clear, upfront quote before starting any work.

Not always — sometimes it’s just a loose gas cap. But it can also mean something serious, like an emissions or engine issue. We recommend having it scanned right away.
Our diagnostic service starts at $79, and we’ll waive that if you proceed with the repair. No hidden fees, ever.
Most diagnostics take 30–60 minutes, depending on the issue. We’ll explain the findings and options on the spot.
If the light is solid, your vehicle may still be drivable, but it’s best to get it checked ASAP. If the light is flashing, pull over safely — this could indicate a serious engine misfire or damage.

Warm air is often caused by low refrigerant, a leaking condenser, or a faulty compressor. We’ll perform a full diagnostic to find the exact cause and get it blowing cold again.
This could be due to a clogged heater core, low coolant, or a broken thermostat. We’ll inspect the heating system and recommend the right fix.
We use UV dye and electronic leak detectors to pinpoint leaks in your AC lines, compressor, or condenser. Accurate leak detection saves time and money
