Auto Maintenance Services​

Keeping up with routine maintenance doesn’t have to be a hassle. I take care of the basics—oil, filters, fluids, belts, and more—so your car stays dependable and you avoid big breakdowns later.

System Diagnosis $95
advanced Diagnosis $125
Free Quick Scan Code

I can handle most system checks, including warning lights, rough running, electrical problems, and strange sounds. I don’t use the latest high-end dealership computers, but I’ve got the tools and experience to diagnose most everyday problems. If something needs specialty equipment, I’ll let you know right away instead of having you pay for guesses.(Electrical and Sensor/ECU issues fall under the advanced category)

Pre-purchase
Inspections $150

Buying a used car can be a gamble, and problems aren’t always apparent during a quick test drive. I offer reliable pre-purchase inspections to check for warning signs, hidden issues, and potential repair costs before you spend your money. You’ll get an honest assessment so you can make a confident decision.

Meet Steve

I’m a local mechanic with more than 30 years under the hood. These days I’m semi-retired and working from home, which means no shop overhead, no inflated pricing — you pay for parts and honest labor, nothing more.

I specialize in older vehicles, classics, and anything that doesn’t require the newest high-end dealership scanners. I don’t pretend to be a fancy dealership service bay — I’m the guy you come to when you want real experience, fair pricing, and someone who actually listens to what your car is doing.

If you’re not sure whether I can handle your specific repair, just ask. Tell me the year, make, model, and what it’s doing. I’ll tell you straight whether it’s a job I can take on or something that truly requires a specialty shop. No runaround, no upselling — just an experienced mechanic giving you the truth.

Why Choose me

I’m your local neighborhood mechanic — the guy who treats your car like it were his own. After 30+ years in the trade, I know what to look for, what to fix, and how to save you money without cutting corners. If you want honest answers and dependable work, you’re in the right place.

Guarantee Service

I stand behind my work, no excuses and no shortcuts.
