Auto Maintenance & Repair Huntington Beach

Don't repair it, lets' maintain it. It will cost you less, be less work for us, allow your vehicle to reach over 200,000 miles. They are built better than before so let's get all we can from them. Your owners manual will give you an idea of what should be attended to. PLEASE NOTE, we are shocked to find some recommended services lacking!!!! One of the most important and ignored systems in a car was not mentioned at all in a customers owners manual till 100,000 miles!!! This was in a high end popular European brand!! It needed critical repair at only 60,000 miles, and at 5 years of age. The cooling system failed. Remember, the number one reason for on the road failure is a cooling system failure, after tires and running out of gas. We had always thought that ALL VEHICLES need some maintenance at 30,000 to 40,000 miles or four years if you want long life. After talking with many other shop owners and combined 60 years experience of our own, we can recommend a comprehensive mainte ... read more

Auto Oil Leak Repair Huntington Beach Fountain Valley

Any oil leakage from your vehicle can become cause for concern. Red oil indicating transmission fluid, clear oil can be power steering or air conditioning. Of course, motor oil can be clear to dark in color. We still believe in repair if possible. An oil pan plug thread may be damaged and we can re-thread and install a larger plug where other shops would replace the entire oil pan at a much greater cost. We can address all oil leaks and make a judgment call as to the urgency to repair. At the very least, all oil leaks should be looked at by a skilled technician. This inspection is done EVERY TIME we do an oil change service for our customers. You may only need a simple tightening, or we may be able to fabricate a needed hose or line that would cost more as a new part or may no longer be available
