🍂 We hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Thank you for trusting our veteran-owned shop with your vehicles and for letting us serve the community year-round.

📅 Schedule note: we will be closed for the holidays from Christmas through New Year's Day.

🔧 In the bay: a GMC Acadia is getting an in-house 6T70 transmission rebuild so it can shift strong for the long haul.

🐞 Classic corner: we're refreshing the engine on a 1970 Volkswagen Beetle, dialing in reliability while keeping its vintage character.

🛢️ Diesel row: multiple Ford Power Stroke trucks are in for oil leak hunts, plus an overheating diagnosis and a separate no-start condition.

🚗 Precision work: a 2013 MINI Cooper S is receiving a headless valve seal job to keep it running crisp without the smoke.

Quick tips

  • ⏳ Want service wrapped before the holidays? Book now so we can order and stage parts ahead of the Christmas-to-New-Years closure.
  • 🗂️ If you're waiting until January, share your symptoms, VIN, and target dates in your request so we can queue parts while the shop is closed.
  • 📞 We'll confirm all pending repair timelines the week we reopen to keep everyone on schedule and moving.
