01 Noises
What is the car saying? Pick the noise.
A sound helps describe the problem, not diagnose it. Tell us when it happens and we will look. The shop does brake inspection, oil and filter service, check engine diagnosis and vehicle AC diagnosis.
A squeal at startup or a stop?
Note whether the sound follows engine speed or brake use. An inspection comes first, then any parts recommendation.
Book an inspection →Clicking when you turn the key?
Tell the shop whether the engine turns over and whether the lights dim. Starting and charging tests narrow the issue, then you authorize a repair.

Write the estimate
Proposed work and cost, in writing, for you to authorize.
- 03
Ask about changes
Found something else? Added work and cost wait for your approval.
- 04

An invoice and the written warranty terms go home with the car.
