Preventative Service for Long-Term Performance
Routinely scheduled preventative maintenance keeps your vehicle dependable, secure, and effective for the heat, humidity, and traffic conditions in Houston. We assess 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 maintain performance and safety.
We carry out fluid analysis to track 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 check charging output, inspect wiper systems, perform wheel alignments, and torque critical fasteners to spec. With properly calibrated equipment and documented results, you'll identify small issues early, maintain warranty coverage, extend component life, and keep predictable ownership costs.
Powertrain, Transmission, and Drivetrain Mastery
Although symptoms can overlap, we isolate engine, transmission, and drivetrain faults with data-driven diagnostics before we turn a wrench. We monitor live PIDs, perform compression and leak-down tests, validate fuel trims, and examine ignition patterns to address rough idle, cold starts, or oil dilution from misfires and short trips. You obtain comprehensive results, repair choices, and expected outcomes.
Regarding 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 verify angles and balance to remove vibration under load. You approve every step, and we document findings so you comprehend root cause, repair method, and warranty terms.
Brake, Suspension, and Steering Services
As you brake, steer, or drive over a bump, your vehicle should perform as expected—so we begin with precise brake inspections and specific repairs.
