Why do Raleigh Hills drivers use our shop?
Most Raleigh Hills drivers find us the same way everyone else does: they read the reviews. Thirty years in the same building and hundreds of neighbors saying the estimate matched the invoice. After the first visit, they tend to keep coming, and a good share of the Raleigh Hills cars in the lot on any given week belong to people who have been bringing them here for years.
Ten minutes is close enough that the shuttle works both ways: drop the car in the morning and we run you home, then bring you back when it is ready. If the job will take longer than an afternoon, take one of our free loaner cars. There is an after-hours key drop just to the right of the front door, so you can leave the car the night before. Every vehicle gets a photo-documented digital inspection, so you see what we found and approve the work from your phone.
From the Shop Floor: A Check Engine Light on a Nearly New Sentra
A 2024 Nissan Sentra with 50,115 miles came in from Raleigh Hills this September with the check engine light on. Senior technician Rob Lamont pulled the code and tested the evaporative emissions system rather than guessing from the code alone: the vapor canister vent solenoid had failed. He replaced it and cleared the fault. The inspection also turned up an engine air filter and a cabin air filter that were due, so the owner had those done in the same visit. The whole thing came to $525, and the car went home the same day.
A check engine light on a car this new is usually one small part, not a big problem. The test is what tells you which one, so you pay for one repair instead of three tries.
What repairs do Raleigh Hills drivers look us up for?
Differential service, clutch repair, check engine lights, brakes, shocks and struts, and cooling system work. Here is where to start for each.

Do you do differential service?
Yes, on front, rear and all-wheel-drive vehicles. We replace the gear oil with the fluid your manufacturer specifies, including the friction modifier a limited-slip differential needs, and check the seals for leaks while we are in there.

Yes. We’ve done clutch work since 1995. Many clutch complaints turn out to be an adjustment, the hydraulics or the linkage, and a clutch adjustment is free.
