What We Do Best

From complex diagnostic work to making your ride scream a little louder, we've got the tools and know-how to handle European machines the right way. No shortcuts, no generic fixes - just proper service from folks who actually care about what's under your hood.

Service Lineup

Click on any service below to see what's involved, how long it usually takes, and what you're looking at price-wise. Every car's different though, so think of these as starting points rather than carved-in-stone numbers.

Look, modern European cars are basically computers on wheels. We're talking multiple control modules that all need to talk to each other properly. We use manufacturer-specific diagnostic equipment - not the cheap stuff from auto parts stores - to actually see what's happening inside your vehicle's brain.

Whether it's a check engine light that won't quit, weird electrical gremlins, or performance issues you can't pin down, we'll dig through the data and figure out what's really going on. Sometimes it's a simple sensor, other times it's a deeper rabbit hole - but you'll know either way.

  • Complete system scan (all modules)
  • Live data monitoring & analysis
  • Fault code interpretation
  • Detailed diagnostic report

Engine problems? Transmission acting up? Yeah, those aren't fun conversations to have, but we'll be straight with you about what's wrong and what your options are. Sometimes a repair makes sense, sometimes you're better off with a rebuild or replacement unit.

We've dealt with everything from timing chain failures and valve train issues to slipping transmissions and torque converter problems. European powertrains have their quirks, and we know where the weak spots are on different models. No guesswork - just solid mechanical work backed by years of wrenching on these machines.

  • Engine rebuilds & overhauls
  • Transmission repair & replacement
  • Timing belt/chain service
  • Turbocharger service
  • Clutch replacement

Alright, this is where things get fun. Your European ride already has decent power from the factory, but there's usually more hiding in there waiting to come out. We do proper ECU tuning - not just slapping on a piggyback module and hoping for the best.

Custom maps for your driving style, bolt-on upgrades that actually work together, exhaust systems that sound good without being obnoxious... whatever you're after, we'll help you get there without blowing stuff up. And yeah, we've got the dyno to back up the numbers and fine-tune everything properly.

  • ECU remapping & custom tuning
  • Intake & exhaust upgrades
  • Turbo/supercharger upgrades
  • Suspension modifications
  • Dyno testing & optimization

Brakes are kinda important, right? We don't mess around with this stuff. Whether you're hearing squealing, feeling vibration, or just due for routine service, we'll make sure your stopping power is where it needs to be.

European brake systems can be particular - some have electronic parking brakes that need special tools to service, others have wear sensors that'll light up your dash if you ignore 'em. We've got everything needed to do the job right, from basic pad swaps to complete caliper rebuilds and brake fluid flushes using the proper DOT-spec fluid for your car.

  • Brake pad & rotor replacement
  • Caliper service & rebuilds
  • Brake fluid flush & bleed
  • Electronic parking brake service
  • Performance brake upgrades

Electrical problems are honestly some of the trickiest stuff we deal with. Random warning lights, windows that work when they feel like it, weird battery drain overnight - this is where a lot of shops throw their hands up and start replacing parts hoping something fixes it.

Not our style. We've got the wiring diagrams, the testing equipment, and the patience to trace circuits until we find the actual problem. Could be a corroded connector under the carpet, a software glitch in a control module, or just a failing alternator. Whatever it is, we'll hunt it down.

  • Electrical system diagnosis
  • Battery & charging system testing
  • Module replacement & coding
  • Wiring repair & restoration
  • Sensor replacement & calibration

Here's the deal - European cars last forever if you actually take care of 'em. Skip the maintenance though, and you're gonna have expensive problems down the road. We put together maintenance schedules based on what your specific make and model actually needs, not just generic oil change intervals.

Oil and filter changes with the right spec oil, transmission fluid services when they're actually due, coolant flushes, spark plugs, air filters - all the stuff that keeps your car running strong. We'll keep track of what's been done and what's coming up, so you don't have to remember when that next service is due.

  • Custom maintenance schedules
  • Oil & filter changes
  • Fluid services (all systems)
  • Multi-point inspections
  • Service reminders & tracking
