Preventive Service for Extended Performance

Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance ensures your vehicle remains reliable, safe, and efficient for Houston's challenging climate and road conditions. We benchmark your service history, mileage, and driving habits to determine precise intervals. During seasonal inspections, we examine tire tread and pressure, battery health, belts, hoses, brake pad thickness, and engine/cabin air filters to preserve optimal performance and safety standards.

We perform fluid analysis to detect oxidation, contamination, and additive depletion in coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and engine oil, then replace or service based on documented thresholds, not guesswork. We also test charging output, inspect wiper systems, align wheels, and torque critical fasteners to spec. With calibrated tools and documented results, you'll catch small issues early, preserve warranties, prolong component lifespan, and maintain predictable ownership costs.

Engine, Transmission, and Drivetrain Expertise

Although issues might share characteristics, we diagnose engine, transmission, and drivetrain problems with analytical diagnostics ahead of physical work. We scan live PIDs, conduct compression and leak-down tests, check fuel trims, and assess ignition patterns to fix rough idle, cold starts, or oil dilution from misfires and short trips. You get detailed results, repair choices, and expected outcomes.

For transmissions, we evaluate line pressure, shift timing, solenoid duty cycles, and fluid condition to eliminate slip, flare, or harsh engagements. We reprogram transmission and powertrain control modules when strategy updates correct drivability issues.

Drivetrain assessments cover CV joints, U-joints, differential lash, and wheel bearing noise analysis. We confirm angles and balance to eradicate vibration under load. You approve every step, and we document findings so you grasp the cause, the correction, and warranty coverage.

Brake, Suspension, and Steering Solutions

When you brake, steer, or hit a bump, your vehicle should react in a predictable manner—so we start with precise brake inspections and focused repairs.
