What we do

Six services. No mystery line items.

Every job below lists exactly what's included and the honest signs you actually need it. If your car doesn't need it, we'll say so — that has never once cost us a customer.

Check-Engine Diagnostics

We read the code, then we actually test the part. A code is a clue, not a diagnosis.

$110 diagnostic fee — credited back if you have us do the repair
What's included
- Full scan of every module, not just the engine — transmission, ABS, body, airbag
- Live-data road test so we see the fault happening, not just its aftermath
- Pinpoint testing with a scope or meter before any part gets ordered
- Photos of what we found, sent to your phone with the estimate
When you need it

Check-engine light on or flashing, rough idle, stalling, a hesitation you can feel but can't describe, or a car that failed DEQ.

Check-Engine Diagnostics
Brakes & Rotors

Measured, photographed, and quoted in millimeters. You'll see the same numbers we do.

From $289 per axle, parts and labor
What's included
- Pad thickness and rotor runout measured and written down every visit
- Hardware, slide pins and boots cleaned and re-greased — not reused dirty
- Brake-fluid moisture test with a real strip, not a guess
- Post-repair bed-in procedure and a road test on real Salem hills
When you need it

Squeal, grind, a pedal that goes soft or long, a steering wheel that shimmies when you slow down, or you simply want to know how much life is left.

Brakes & Rotors
Oil & Fluid Service

The right oil for your engine, and an honest look at everything else while it's up.

From $69 full synthetic, most vehicles
What's included
- Manufacturer-spec oil and a quality filter — no house-brand substitutions
- 27-point courtesy inspection with photos, whether or not you asked
- Coolant, brake, transmission and differential fluid checked and condition-rated
- A sticker with the real interval for YOUR engine, not a flat 3,000 miles
When you need it

Every 5,000–7,500 miles on synthetic for most cars. We'll tell you the honest number for yours and we won't shorten it to see you sooner.

Oil & Fluid Service
Suspension & Steering

Struts, bushings, ball joints, and the clunk you've been ignoring since March.

From $420 per axle, struts installed
What's included
- Bounce test, lift inspection and a pry-bar check on every joint and bushing
- Struts, shocks, control arms, tie rods, sway-bar links and wheel bearings
- Alignment included with any strut or control-arm replacement
- We separate 'unsafe now' from 'watch it' from 'that's just how it sounds'
When you need it

Clunks over bumps, a car that floats or nose-dives, uneven tire wear, a wandering steering wheel, or a ride that got worse after a Salem pothole winter.

Suspension & Steering
Tires & Alignment

Mounted, balanced, torqued to spec by hand — and aligned to the numbers we print for you.

From $99 four-wheel alignment
What's included
- Road-force balancing for the vibration a standard spin balance can't find
- Four-wheel alignment with a printed before/after sheet in your hand
- Hand-torqued lug nuts to factory spec — every wheel, every time
- Free rotation and re-torque at 500 miles on any tire set we sell
When you need it

New tires, a pull to one side, a wheel that shakes at highway speed, feathered tread edges, or after any suspension work.

Tires & Alignment
Pre-Purchase Inspection

Ninety minutes and $145 that has talked plenty of people out of a $9,000 mistake.

$145 flat — same day, most weeks
What's included
- Lift inspection: frame, rust, leaks, prior collision repair, undercarriage
- Full module scan including stored and pending codes the seller cleared
- Compression or leak-down on request for higher-mileage engines
- A written report with photos, a repair-cost estimate, and a plain buy / don't-buy call
When you need it

Before you hand money to a private seller or a lot. Bring the car to us, or we'll tell you exactly what to ask them to allow.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

Just as important

Here's what we don't do.

A shop that says yes to everything is telling you something. We keep a short list of trusted Salem specialists for the work below, we make the call for you, and we don't take a referral cut for it.

Transmission rebuilds
Body work & paint
Windshield replacement
Heavy diesel / RV

Not sure which one you need?

Describe the noise, the smell, or the light on your dash. We've heard it before and we'll tell you what it probably is before you spend a dollar.
