Proactive Upkeep for Long-Lasting Performance
Routinely scheduled preventive maintenance ensures your vehicle remains reliable, safe, and efficient for Houston's challenging climate and road conditions. We evaluate your service history, mileage, and driving habits to determine accurate schedules. During periodic checks, we inspect belts, hoses, battery health, tire tread and pressure, brake pad thickness, and cabin/engine air filters to sustain safety and performance.
We perform fluid analysis to detect oxidation, contamination, and additive depletion in brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, and engine oil, then replace or service based on specific thresholds, not guesswork. We also test charging output, inspect wiper systems, align wheels, and torque critical fasteners to spec. With precision tools and documented results, you'll identify small issues early, preserve warranties, prolong component lifespan, and keep predictable ownership costs.
Motor, Transmission, and Drivetrain Proficiency
While issues might share characteristics, we pinpoint engine, transmission, and drivetrain problems with diagnostic data-based diagnostics before we turn a wrench. We check live PIDs, conduct compression and leak-down tests, check fuel trims, and analyze ignition patterns to fix rough idle, cold starts, or oil dilution from misfires and short trips. You receive detailed results, repair choices, and expected outcomes.
For transmission diagnostics, we evaluate line pressure, shift timing, solenoid duty cycles, and fluid condition to avoid slip, flare, or harsh engagements. We recalibrate the TCM/PCM when strategy updates correct drivability problems.
Drivetrain inspections include CV joints, U-joints, differential lash, and wheel bearing noise analysis. We check angles and balance to remove vibration under load. You authorize every step, and we document findings so you comprehend cause, correction, and warranty.
Brake, Suspension, and Steering Solutions
