Brake Repair
Our brake system specialists perform comprehensive inspections and repairs including pad replacement, rotor resurfacing, and ABS diagnostics. Technicians identify wear indicators through visual checks and auditory diagnostics to prevent safety issues. Complete brake family servicing covers calipers, drums, and hydraulic components while maintaining modern vehicle computer systems.
Battery Replacement
We offer on-site battery diagnosis and replacement using advanced diagnostic tools. Our technicians test charging systems and replace batteries affected by age, temperature extremes, or electrical strain. Mobile service options allow immediate replacements at customer locations while maintaining warranty-compliant installations for new battery purchases.
Transmission Service
Our transmission specialists clean and protect entire drive systems using specialized Valvoline fluids. Services include replacing contaminated transmission fluid, installing protective additives, and flushing cooling passages. This maintenance extends transmission life while improving shifting performance and preventing heat-related breakdowns in automatic systems.
Towing Assistance
Available 24/7 for vehicle emergencies, our towing service handles breakdowns, flat tires, and battery issues. Trained dispatchers coordinate rapid response times for flatbed and traditional towing needs. Complimentary recovery services include jump starts, lockout assistance, and fuel delivery within five-mile radiuses during qualifying repairs.
Oil Changes
We perform manufacturer-compliant oil changes using conventional, semi-synthetic, and full synthetic options. Each service includes fluid level checks, filter replacements, and multi-point inspections covering belts, hoses, and safety systems. Maintenance packages integrate battery tests, tire pressure checks, and wiper blade inspections to ensure complete vehicle readiness.

Finding a good auto repair shop is a challenge. I have taken my older model car there several times and I'm always satisfied with the work done. I'm also very sensitive to how I'm being spoken to being a female in a male dominated environment. Jeff always explains the work to be done and gives me options.

(HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DONT BRING BUSINESS TO THIS PLACE) The driver that was sent to do the tow had the wench cable hooked up wrong on the car an it aggressively rolled off the flat bed at a way to high of a angle on flat bed damaged my car an our house then also denied that it was there fault an they said to me many times that it's my fault that they couldn't hook up the cable correctly. believe your supposed to hook the little j on the holes that come with the car on the frame from factory or to the control arms. These guys don't know what there doing that's why.

Called my insurance company to have my car towed to get it repaired and was having an awful experience! I waited 1 day 1/2 and 3 towing companies before it was assigned to Garfield and Canal towing services. They gave a time of 90-105 min and showed up with no extended times or delays. The driver was polite and professional. Thank you for your service!
