Services
Oil Change
Regular oil changes maintain engine performance and longevity. Our service includes premium synthetic blend oil, filter replacement, chassis lubrication, and a digital maintenance inspection. Proper oil changes prevent costly repairs and improve fuel efficiency. We recommend changes every 3,000-5,000 miles depending on driving conditions.
AC Repair
Our AC repair service restores climate control functionality using specialized diagnostic tools. Technicians address refrigerant leaks, compressor issues, and system malfunctions while checking for wear indicators. Proper AC maintenance ensures passenger comfort and prevents humidity-related interior damage. Most repairs complete within one business day.
Wheel Alignment
Precision wheel alignments using Snap-On Visualiner technology ensure optimal tire contact and vehicle handling. Misalignment causes uneven wear, reduced fuel economy, and safety risks. Our three-dimensional imaging system corrects camber, caster, and toe angles to manufacturer specifications for all vehicle types.
Brake Repair
Comprehensive brake inspections identify pad wear, rotor damage, and hydraulic system integrity. Services range from pad replacement to complete caliper overhauls using OEM-quality components. Proper brake maintenance prevents safety hazards and costly rotor replacements. Emergency repairs prioritize customer safety during operating hours.
BG Protection Plan
The BG Lifetime Protection Plan covers qualifying fluid services under 75,000 miles. Transferable nationwide coverage includes engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant exchanges. Regular maintenance under this program prevents mechanical failures and preserves vehicle warranties. Plan benefits apply to both new and used vehicle owners.

I would give this repair facility a triple A+ rating. I retired working for a dealership and I'm very familiar with servicing customers and customer satisfaction. I had a fuel delivery issue with my vehicle and this was my third repair facility that I went to try to diagnose it correctly. Marco, the owner of the store, took it upon himself to take the fuel tank down to see if he could find the issue.
He found wiring problems and eliminated the issue. He took it upon himself to drop the tank to see if problem was there even after telling him it wasn't the tank. If he hadn't found the problem he would have not charged me for the removal of the tank and reinstallation. But he found the issue and corrected it. He sent me pictures of the work done as well. I would highly highly recommend this repair facility as a trustworthy and confident i'm quite capable of fixing vehicles of all types.

Always a pleasure working with A&E! Every problem I've had they were able to diagnose and give work with me. Fixed any issues within a day or two with reasonable pricing. The office staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable! I've had repair work done, new spark plugs, brakes & rotors, and other work done! They are the best for sure very honest and a trustworthy place to take your vehicles.

I've been taking my cars to A&E for about 8 years now and ever since they were at their prior location. My first car was a Mazda RX8 with a rotary engine it was hard finding a mechanic around the area at the time who really new how to work and fix my engine. I had gone to another mechanic prior to and apparently my car had two type of coils, and that mechanic had them switch - therefore still causing me problems. Thankfully my dad has been taking his and my mom's cars to A&E way before me and recommended them to me. A&E has been my go to auto mechanic location for my Nissan Altima and now my Lexus. Marco and Shala are like second family!
They know I drive a lot for work so the team always makes sure my car is good to go and gets the best parts for travel with also keeping in mind my budget. I highly recommend taking your car here for all you automotive needs! : - Thank you Mr Douglas for taking care of my Lexus! - Sorry for the late review Marco and Shala you know I'm always working!
