Battery Replacement / Alternator Replacement
In case you twist your key in the ignition, the car starter motor is supposed to function, therefore if your vehicle is not reacting, it's usually the car battery or the vehicle starter motor.
The car battery is responsible for storing and delivering electric charge to the starter circuit, the ignition and fuel systems in the vehicle.
Any time you notice your vehicle is not starting as anticipated or you notice any kind of rust in your present batteries, please get in touch with a mechanic.
In some cases, you may get away with charging the battery with a regular charger, but it is worth stating that battery inspection should be performed every 6,000 miles to make sure your car battery is in a fantastic shape.
The vehicle battery is segment of the automobile's electric network, which comprises the ignition system, the starter, along with the charging platform. When the vehicle battery is used during starting the motor, it loses a number of its charge, so the alternator helps to rejuvenate the auto battery. Do not forget that the car battery has other purposes too: it is overseeing the task for powering the electric elements of your car, since it's the origin of power for the whole network when the engine isn't functioning. Practically in the event that you want to assess the life of the battery, it means how many times it can be recharged.
The alternator supplies the electricity needed for all vehicle systems and charges the battery to replace the electric energy used when starting a car, so in case there is a problem with the vehicle's alternator, there's a serious probability that your car battery gets drained and also you won't be able to start your car.
There are several signs that your car might require a vehicle alternator replacement:
- when all of a sudden your headlights change in strength, moving from very bright to slightly dim.
- a strange smell in the vehicle
- the radio is not functioning properly or goes on and off.
When the car alternator is no longer suited to charge the car battery, usually the car battery warning light comes up in your car's dashboard.
Services we offer:
- Battery replacement
- alternator replacement
STARTER REPLACEMENT
When you turn your key in, or press the start button in newer vehicles, you are activating the starter circuit. The circuit is responsible for generating the initial torque necessary to engage the engine flywheel.
Once your vehicle engine is running, the car starter motor is no more needed, however if it is not functioning as expected, your automobile just won't operate.
In case you know your battery is new, then the typical suspect instantly becomes the starter.
It is fairly straightforward to spot if a starter fix is is necessary, in case you are unable to start your motor, you should get in touch with us to book an appointment so we can put you back on the road in no time.
The expense of a car starter replacement is dependent upon your automobile's make and model (and typically the year), so give us a call and we'll give you the best quote regarding the total cost for the car starter repair service and parts for your individual car.
Services we offer:
- Starter replacement
- starting & charging system check
Engine Repair, Rebuilding & Replacement
It is important to act fast if you suspect trouble under the hood.
Common signs of an engine problem include a knocking noise, oil leak, a decrease in performance or fuel efficiency, hard starting or the check engine light.
We use the latest engine diagnostic technology to pinpoint problems and repair them fast. Whether you need minor engine repair or major engine rebuilding or engine replacement in Atlanta area, we have your car covered.
Transmission Repair & Service
The transmission is the link between the engine and the wheels of your vehicle.
Whether you drive a manual, automatic, or semi-automatic vehicle, the transmission plays a crucial role in the performance and reliability of your vehicle.
The transmission keeps engine output matched with speed and load conditions. Because engines operate at high rotational speeds, the transmission reduces engine output speed and transmits torque through the differential, driveshaft, and wheels. As engine speed varies, the transmission switches between the gears that influence the amount of torque applied to the wheels.
Transmission fluid performs a variety of duties, depending on the type of transmission. Transmission fluid acts as a cooling agent and protects the transmission by lubricating the internal gears and preventing corrosion and rust.
In a manual transmission, clutches and gear shifts provide pressure and force—like engagement and disengagement—while in an automatic transmission, transmission fluid provides these same operational functions of force and pressure.
A faulty transmission can negatively affect your vehicle’s performance. Symptoms of an impending transmission service include grinding gears, difficulty shifting, slipping out of gear, bucking, and hesitation.
Even if your transmission is in neutral, excessive noise is a sign of transmission problems. In a manual transmission, a dragging clutch, or a clutch failing to disengage from the flywheel, is another sign of transmission issues. When this occurs, the clutch continues to spin with your vehicle’s engine, and a grinding noise will occur.
A burning smell sifting through the air vents is a sign of burning transmission fluid and an overheating transmission. Things that can negatively impact the life of your transmission include extreme driving habits, and excessive loads or heavy towing habits. Because of the necessary pressure and force provided by transmission fluid in automatic transmissions, old, dirty, and unchanged transmission fluid can cause performance issues.
Regular transmission maintenance as indicated by your vehicle’s manufacturer can help prevent transmission problems, but if you experience any of the above warning signs of transmission trouble, contact us today about transmission repair.

Climate Control System Repair
A vehicle’s climate control system is comprised of multiple, smaller systems that work together to maintain a comfortable cabin environment. The climate control system is able to affect and regulate the internal temperature of a vehicle through a cycle of processes.
Although the climate control system is primarily used to improve the comfort levels of both drivers and passengers, there are times over the course of the year when maintaining the ideal internal temperature becomes more than a matter of comfort. In severe weather conditions, maintaining the proper internal climate can actually factor into automotive safety. This is why it is important for you to seek climate control repairs at the first sign of trouble.

Brake Repair
Your vehicle’s brake system involves highly engineered parts and precise movements that stop your vehicle by converting kinetic energy into thermal energy.
When you press down on the brake pedal, the master cylinder pressurizes a system of hydraulic brake lines leading to each of the vehicle’s wheels, where brake pads or shoes press against a disc or drum and create the necessary friction needed to slow the vehicle to a complete stop.
Over time, this friction and heat has the potential to wear down the brake shoes, brake pads, calipers, brake rotors, and other braking components. While the components comprising each brake system may vary, the warning signs for impending brake repairs are the same.
Brake pads are designed with high surface friction and are bound to the brake pedal. After long term use, the material in brake pads wears off, and the friction force generated by the brake pads decreases, making it harder on the vehicle to stop.
There are several common signs that your vehicle is due for brake repair.
These include grinding noises when stopping, pulling when braking, a soft or vibrating brake pedal, or the illumination of the ABS dashboard warning light. Be sure you give us a call at the first indication of a problem to reduce the chances of an accident.
We can complete any brake job service to restore the safety of your vehicle, such as brake pad replacement, brake rotor replacement or brake fluid leak repair.
Our services include:
- brake inspection
- brake rotor replacement
- front disc brake repair
- rear disc brake repair
- rear drum brake repair
- parking brake adjustment
Axle & CV Joint Repair/
Replacement
Your vehicle’s axle and CV joint components are integral to the performance and drivability of your vehicle.
Front wheel drive vehicles use CV joints on the front axles. CV joints allow the axle to bend and change while accommodating the bounce of the wheels. The axle bears the weight of the vehicle while also being strong enough to sustain the forces from braking and accelerating.
Over time and through normal use, your vehicle’s axle and CV joint components may require maintenance or replacement services.
There are signs to look for when determining when to schedule an inspection of your vehicle’s front axle, rear axle, and CV joints:
- Clunking or clicking noises are signs that a CV joint needs replacement.
- Vibrations during acceleration may indicate an axle issue depending on the layout of your vehicle.
CV joints can go bad when the grease leaks out of a damaged CV boot. There are various determinants for how quickly your vehicle’s axle and CV joint components will degrade over time.
If you would like to learn more about the intervals between repairs for front wheel drive axles, CV joints, U-joints, yokes, and other axle assembly components, contact us today.
Differential Repair
The differential is responsible for transferring engine power to the wheels. It also compensates for and adjusts to the differences in wheel speed as your vehicle moves through turns.
When your vehicle navigates a turn, the inside wheel turns slower than the outside wheel, which has to turn faster in order to keep pace with the inside wheel.
The differential allows the wheels to turn at different speeds while maintaining control. A vehicle without a differential would hop and bump along the pavement for an unstable, shaky ride. Four wheel drive vehicles are equipped with a differential in front and back, while rear wheel drive vehicles are equipped with a differential in back.
A front wheel drive’s differential, called the transaxle because of the functional combination of the front axle and transmission, is located between the front wheels.
All-wheel drive vehicles are equipped with a differential between both the front and rear wheels with a transfer case between them. The case adjusts for speed differences between the front and rear wheels. In all vehicle applications, the differential is primarily responsible for routing and regulating power between wheels.
Whether your car or truck has four-wheel drive, front wheel drive, or rear wheel drive, your vehicle has a differential that experiences heavy wear and tear.
When scheduling a differential repair service, you should consider where you drive most often and how much time your vehicle spends traversing particular types of terrain. Tougher terrain—like dirt roads, unpaved or gravel roads—and extreme driving can have a heavier impact on the life of your vehicle’s differential.
Maintenance for differentials will differ from vehicle to vehicle. As part of your normal car maintenance schedule, a differential fluid change can positively impact the safety and health of your vehicle. Noise coming from your vehicle’s differential can be a sign of insufficient lubricant or worn gears and bearings due to regular wear and tear.
At the first sign of trouble, contact us so we can quickly diagnose and correct the issue.
Services we offer
Steering and Suspension System Repair
The steering and suspension system on your vehicle is responsible for maintaining comfortable riding conditions and driving performance. The steering and suspension system also helps drivers remain in control of their vehicles at all times.
The suspension system converts forward energy created by bumps in the road into vertical energy that travels up into the vehicle frame. Suspension system components, like coil springs and shock absorbers, help to dampen the impact of this road force. While the individual components comprising each suspension system may vary, all suspension system components will weaken over time through stress applied during normal driving conditions. Similarly, off-road driving and erratic driving can wear down suspension components more quickly. Regardless of your driving preferences, we have the necessary equipment to identify and correct any issue plaguing your steering and suspension system. We are trained to inspect the steering and suspension components in order to determine whether your service will entail a minor adjustment or a replacement.
Shaky, unsteady, off-center, and stiff steering are all cause for getting a steering system repaired, while excessive bouncing or swaying during bumps and intermittent control while driving and braking are cause for a suspension system inspection.
Uneven tire wear is also a potential sign of a suspension problem, though this may also point to alignment issues.
Have you hit a pothole recently? Potholes can cause damage to steering and suspension components. Worn suspension components will reduce the stability of the vehicle and the control of the driver. Because suspension system components combine into one working unit, suspension issues that go untreated have the potential to increase the wear on other suspension components, which may result in more extensive repairs down the road. If you experience any of the above symptoms, contact us online or by phone today.
Services we offer:
- Ball Joint Replacement
- Inner tie rod replacement
- outer tie rod replacement
- shocks replacement
- struts replacement
- suspension inspection
- sway bar link replacement
Belts & Hoses Repair
Your vehicle’s belts and hoses are involved in processes within the cooling system, air conditioning system, charging system, and engine. These belts and hoses play crucial roles in functional operations inside your vehicle.
The heater hose and radiator hose carry liquid coolant to and from the engine, radiator, and heater core.
The timing belt is responsible for maintaining engine precision by synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, which move the engine’s valves and pistons. However, not all vehicles contain timing belts. In place of timing belts, some vehicles use timing chains. On the outside of the engine, the serpentine belt transmits power from the front of the engine to other systems in the vehicle, like the air conditioning system and charging system.
Some factors that contribute to wear and tear on your belts and hoses include vehicle age, mileage, belt tension, hose clamp failure, electrochemical degradation, and oil contamination. In the long run, routine maintenance and replacements of your vehicle’s belts and hoses will prevent breakdowns and costly repairs.
When compared to other components in your car, belts and hoses have one of the shortest life spans.
These items are constantly exposed to engine heat, vehicle vibrations, and harmful chemicals, which all have the potential to cause cracks and leaks. Some symptoms to be aware of for belts and hoses nearing failure include squeaking, screeching, or grinding noises that begin when starting your engine or appear during vehicle operation.
The grinding sounds near belts are usually associated with a bad pulley bearing rather than the belt itself, as the pulley bearing may freeze up and ultimately lead to a belt replacement. Other symptoms of a bad belt or hose include loss of power, leaking coolant or other fluids, illuminated dashboard lights, rising steam from the engine, and air conditioning failure.
While routine maintenance of belts and hoses is always important, summertime is an especially important season to keep an eye under the hood due to increased temperatures, which will accelerate deterioration of the rubber components. Since belts and hoses can be difficult to inspect visually, be sure to follow your manufacturer’s recommendations for scheduled maintenance.
Services we offer:
- Heater hose replacement
- Radiator hose replacement
- Serpentine belt replacement
- Timing chain /belt replacement
Cooling System Repair
The cooling system consists of a cooling fan, water pump, thermostat, radiator, heater core, heater valve, and various other parts that primarily work together to dissipate and remove heat from a vehicle’s engine.
Your vehicle’s cooling system is responsible for reducing the temperature inside your engine and preventing possible overheating. Excess heat can build in a variety of places in your vehicle’s engine. When the engine reaches maximum operating temperatures, the thermostat opens and releases antifreeze from the engine to the radiator, which initiates the circulatory flow to absorb excess heat.
The antifreeze is also responsible for keeping other engine fluids from boiling or freezing. After the antifreeze flows through the engine, it cycles back to the radiator, where the excess heat escapes through the radiator’s walls. The antifreeze is cooled by the cooling fan and readied to be re-released into the engine to dissipate additional heat.
Over time, antifreeze breaks down and loses its efficiency. If not drained and replaced, old antifreeze can lead to corrosion. During a cooling system flush and fill, we will drain the antifreeze from the radiator, flush the cooling system, and fill the radiator with new antifreeze.
The cooling system’s cooling fan circulates air through the radiator and passes excess heat out of the engine. If the cooling fan malfunctions, your vehicle’s engine will overheat. During an inspection of the cooling system service, we will check the cooling fan for damage and the fan belt for cracks. Because the radiator is responsible for cooling the antifreeze as it circulates throughout the cooling system, a leak or a broken radiator hose can lead to major engine failure.
A radiator pressure test is one way we can check for potential leaks or radiator damage. Ultimately, neglecting basic cooling system and radiator maintenance can lead to a potential radiator replacement and major engine or radiator repairs down the road.
Services we offer:
- Cooling System Flush and Fill
- cooling system pressure test
- radiator replacement
Fuel System Repair / Fuel Pump Repair
A problematic fuel system is a common reason cars run roughly, ping or fail to start altogether.
Whether you have had the misfortune to fill up with a batch of contaminated fuel or had the unfortunate experience of a fuel related car break down, we are equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment, scan tools, fuel pressure test kits as well as an array of common fuel system replacement parts such as fuel pump, fuel injectors and fuel hoses.
Age and dirt in fuel can be the most important things that affect a fuel pump, especially if you continually run your vehicle with hardly any fuel in the tank.
Many modern cars, trucks, and SUVs have fuel pumps that are mounted inside the fuel tank. When your fuel pump goes out, access to the fuel pump must be available. On some vehicles, the only way to access it is to remove the tank. We are very familiar with all the things needed to be done and the proper order to make the job go smoothly.
Here are some bad fuel pump indicators demanding a fuel pump replacement:
- weird sounds
- diminished engine performance
- difficulty starting
- misfiring
- unable to maintain speed
- overheating
- engine surges
- low fuel pressure
Fuel Injection Repair
For vehicles with fuel injection, this likely means that the fuel injection nozzle is clogged and needs to be cleaned or replaced.
The symptoms of clogged or faulty fuel injector nozzle can be a whole list of things like rough running, difficult starting, surging or bucking, poor fuel economy, failed smog check or emissions, and a rough idle.
Services we offer
- fuel pump replacement
- fuel filter replacement
- fuel blockages
- fuel injector cleaning and replacement
- fuel pressure regulator replacement
- carburetor overhauls
Exhaust System Repair
Located on the underside of your vehicle, the exhaust system is responsible for collecting and directing harmful emissions away from the vehicle, reducing the amount of pollutants released into the environment, and minimizing engine exhaust noise and force.
The exhaust system is composed of pipes and tubing designed to streamline vehicle operation while maximizing vehicle performance and efficiency. Engines produce dangerous gases as a byproduct of the combustion process. The exhaust manifold collects the emissions from the engine and funnels the gases through the front pipe to the catalytic converter. The converter transforms these harmful gases, like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxide, into less harmful ones, like oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, and carbon dioxide. The muffler helps cancel out the noise created by the engine. The muffler dissipates sound waves while the tailpipe releases the converted gases into the atmosphere.
Depending upon the problem, the exhaust system can affect both your vehicle’s performance and your ability to drive. For these reasons, it is important to keep current with maintenance intervals on your exhaust system.
A repair service may be impending if you hear excessively loud noises during acceleration. These noises may be a sign of holes or cracks somewhere in the exhaust system.
Rattling noises when starting the vehicle or excessive idling may be a sign of failed or broken hangers.
If you feel drowsiness while driving, this may be a serious sign that fumes are leaking through the vents and into the cabin interior. Sharp odors are also signs that noxious fumes are leaking into the vehicle.
Signs of rust or cracks in any component of your exhaust system indicate corrosion.
If you experience any of these symptoms, you should seek a service sooner than later. Maintaining routine exhaust system services will help keep all your exhaust components, like the exhaust manifold, front pipe, downpipe, catalytic converter, and muffler, working efficiently. Routine maintenance on your exhaust system will save you from having to replace the entire exhaust system down the road.
Services we offer:
- Catalytic converter replacement
- Center Exhaust Section Replacement
- Downpipe replacement
- Exhaust Inspection
- Manifold Replacement
- Muffler Replacement
