What is the Brakes for Breasts Program?     For the month of October, until the 31st, we are offering our Brakes for Breasts promotion. That means free Brake Pad or Shoes all October long.

This is not only to our shop but shops across the country are participating in this to raise over $100,000 in proceeds! We want to defeat our goal from last year which was $680.00.

The Compressor is also known as the heart of the A/C system. We call these pressures when the A/C starts and stops.What we do is hook up a set of gauges to see what these pressures are.

Why did my Transmission Fail? A question you may not ask yourself, but one we can bring awareness to. Here are some reasons why your Transmission may be running strange or be out completely. It could be because it has run out of fluid, or it is at a very low operating fluid level. The fluid may be running at low levels if it has developed a leak somewhere in the Transmission System.
