Preventative Maintenance for Extended Performance
Routinely scheduled scheduled maintenance keeps your vehicle trustworthy, protected, and optimal for Houston's heat, humidity, and traffic. We evaluate your driving patterns, service records, and mileage to establish accurate schedules. During routine inspections, we inspect belts, hoses, battery health, tire tread and pressure, brake pad thickness, and cabin/engine air filters to preserve safety and performance.
We perform fluid analysis to track oxidation, contamination, and additive depletion in coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and engine oil, then replace or flush based on documented thresholds, not guesswork. We also test charging output, inspect wiper systems, align wheels, and torque critical fasteners to spec. With properly calibrated equipment and documented results, you'll identify small issues early, maintain warranty coverage, prolong component lifespan, and ensure predictable ownership costs.
Engine, Gearbox, and Drivetrain Expertise
Although problems can have similar signs, we isolate engine, transmission, and drivetrain faults with diagnostic data-based diagnostics before starting repairs. We scan live PIDs, perform compression and leak-down tests, validate fuel trims, and analyze ignition patterns to solve rough idle, cold starts, or oil dilution from misfires and short trips. You get comprehensive results, repair alternatives, and expected outcomes.
Regarding transmissions, we check line pressure, shift timing, solenoid duty cycles, and fluid condition to avoid slip, flare, or harsh engagements. We reprogram transmission and powertrain control modules when strategy updates fix drivability issues.
Drivetrain inspections include CV joints, U-joints, differential lash, and wheel bearing noise analysis. We verify angles and balance to eradicate vibration under load. You authorize every step, and we document findings so you understand cause, correction, and warranty.
Services for Brakes, Suspension, and Steering
When you brake, steer, or hit a bump, your vehicle should perform as expected—so we initiate our process with thorough brake inspections and specific repairs. We then run suspension diagnostics to identify wear, calibrate components for ride stability, and confirm proper damping and geometry. Finally, we set steering alignment to factory specs to preserve tire life, improve handling, and improve safety.
Brake Check and Repair Services
