Services
Krown Rust Prevention
Krown Rust Prevention applies a petroleum-based corrosion barrier that actively repels moisture from vehicle components. This dielectric treatment protects electrical connections while remaining safe for rubber, sensors, and EV systems. Annual applications create self-healing protection that lowers maintenance costs and extends vehicle lifespan.
4 Wheel Drive Repairs
Our 4WD specialists diagnose and repair complex drivetrain systems including transfer cases, differentials, and gear setups. With over 40 years of experience, we rebuild components in-house using quality parts. Services include fluid changes, component replacements, and performance upgrades for both daily drivers and off-road vehicles.
Lift Kits Installation
We install suspension lift kits from brands like ReadyLift and Zone Offroad to enhance ground clearance and tire clearance. Our technicians handle complete installations including alignment adjustments and driveline modifications. Lift options range from 2-inch leveling kits to full 6-inch systems for serious off-road capability.

We service both single and double cardan shafts, using premium U-joints and CV components. Repairs include vibration analysis, balance correction, and heavy-duty upgrades for modified vehicles.

Report
On behalf of my Dad Pat Varley, "I always heard good things about this business, so I set up a time to deliver my 1984 Olds differential. I was quoted a price of $800 to replace all the bearings and change the ring and pinion gears from 3:42-1 to a new set of 3:23-1 and the job would take a few days. After a few phone calls it was ready to be picked up after 6 1/2 weeks only to learn the ring and pinion installed was a used set of 3:42-1 and the price was still $800. I was not told ahead of time about the change- not very happy."

Go back every year to have my truck sprayed with the Krown rust proofing. Also had a new Louvered Backrack installed on my truck. They take great care with my truck and have always treated me great. Highly recommend.
