Routine Maintenance
We perform all factory-scheduled maintenance as specified in your owners/maintenance manual. Your vehicle’s factory warranty stays in place even with an independent shop performing the service.
All parts and fluids are either OEM (original equipment manufacturer) or better. When specific fluids are specified, we keep them in stock.
Transmission services on “unserviceable, lifetime fluid units” for far less than dealer pricing.
Routine Repairs
Brake Repairs - Not just quick parts replacement, but complete, comprehensive repair, cleaning, de-corroding and lubrication. WNY winters attack brake parts and the result is brake parts that don’t move together well, wheels that require a hammer to remove, lug nut that feel like they were tightened by Andre the Giant. When we do a brake service, this is no longer a concern. Hub surfaces are cleaned and treated, bolt holes anti-seized, caliper sliding pins are lubricated and pin bores are honed if necessary, and pad backing plates and metal surfaces treated with copper anti-seize.
Clutch ReplacementLeak Repairs – Oil, power steering and transmission leaks.
Tire Sales, Mounting and Balancing – We’re using high-end equipment to mount and balance wheels and tires up to 22” in diameter.
Full Diagnotics
Not only can we read, diagnose and reset check engine lights, but we have the equipment to go MUCH further. We own no fewer than 8 scan tools covering every make and model of European automobile made from 1996, and our equipment can communicate with some of the earlier models.
We know the problems that European car owners face when they see these dash warning lights come on. Until now, Western New Yorkers' who own one of these cars have had two choices:
First - Take their car and an open credit card to the dealer and get charged high market rates due to there being no competition in WNY. There is one BMW dealer, one Audi dealer, one MB dealer, one Porsche dealer, and four VW dealers.
Second - Their other choice is to bring their car to a general repair shop (Midas, Pep Boys, Sears, Wal-Mart, etc.) and have a low-paid general auto mechanic work on their $30,000-$60,000 car, with limited knowledge and tools to do the job right. It’s easy to pull an engine code, and start loading the parts cannon. It’s a lot more involved when actual diagnostics need to be performed, but in the long run, less expensive and time-consuming.
We can communicate not just with your engine computer, but also your brake, ABS, HVAC, airbag, radio, navigation, alarm system, central locking, headlamp, suspension, traction control systems and many more.
Full still image/video borescope services using the latest offering from Snap On tools.
We have the ability to do the EVAP leak and intake/vacuum/turbo leak testing the proper way, by using an inert smoke generator.
