use this opportunity to check over your car so as to prevent future surprises.
We check hoses, belts, fluids, brakes, drivetrain, steering, etc---all
to keep you safe and reliable.
We reserve time every morning at 8 AM for oil
changes WHILE YOU WAIT! No appointment needed, just come on in.
Minor Tune---sometimes needed halfway
between Major Tunes to keep engine starting and running at its best.
Not always needed, but when ignition points become
worn after about 6000-7000miles, come in and have a Minor Tune. We'll
adjust the dwell and timing, check and adjust the carb mixture and idle,
and generally make sure every thing is working as it should.

to maintain your investment in its best possible, most reliable, condition.
