Everything Your Car Needs, One Location

We handle the full spectrum of automotive repair and maintenance services. From routine oil changes and brake inspections to complex engine diagnostics and transmission work, our shop is equipped to keep your vehicle running properly.

Southfield’s climate puts extra demands on your car. Our winter services include battery testing, cooling system maintenance, and ensuring your heating system works when you need it most. We also understand how summer heat affects your air conditioning and cooling systems.

Whether you drive a compact car for your daily commute or a truck for work, we have the expertise and equipment to service all makes and models. We’re particularly familiar with the vehicles popular in our area and the specific maintenance they require to handle Michigan’s driving conditions reliably.

How often should I bring my car in for maintenance?

Most vehicles benefit from basic maintenance every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but this varies based on your driving habits and vehicle type. If you’re doing mostly city driving in Southfield with frequent stops and starts, you might need more frequent oil changes than someone who does highway driving. We recommend following your manufacturer’s maintenance schedule as a baseline, but we’ll also consider how you actually use your vehicle. A car that sits in traffic on I-696 every day faces different demands than one used for weekend errands. The key is staying ahead of problems rather than waiting for something to break. Regular maintenance catches small issues before they become expensive repairs, and it helps ensure your car starts reliably when you need it most.

What should I do if my check engine light comes on?

Don’t panic, but don’t ignore it either. The check engine light indicates your car’s computer has detected something that needs attention. It could be something simple like a loose gas cap, or it might signal a more serious issue that requires immediate attention. If the light is steady, you can usually continue driving carefully to our shop. However, if it’s flashing, that typically indicates a more serious problem that could cause engine damage, so you should stop driving and have your car towed. We use professional diagnostic equipment to read the specific error codes and determine what’s actually wrong. Many auto parts stores offer free code readings, but interpreting those codes and fixing the underlying problem requires proper training and experience.

How can I tell if my brakes need to be replaced?

Pay attention to how your brakes feel and sound. If you hear squealing, grinding, or scraping when you brake, that’s your brake pads telling you they need attention. Grinding usually means you’ve worn through the pad material and are damaging your rotors. You should also notice how your car stops. If it takes longer to stop than usual, if the pedal feels spongy or goes to the floor, or if your car pulls to one side when braking, these are all signs your brake system needs inspection. In Southfield’s stop-and-go traffic, brakes work harder than in many other driving conditions. We recommend having your brakes inspected annually, but if you notice any of these warning signs, bring your car in immediately. Brake problems don’t fix themselves, and they only get worse and more expensive over time.

Why is my car overheating, and what should I do?

Overheating can be caused by several issues: low coolant levels, a failing thermostat, a damaged radiator, or a malfunctioning water pump. It’s a serious problem that can cause expensive engine damage if not addressed quickly. If your temperature gauge shows your engine is overheating, pull over safely and turn off the engine immediately. Don’t remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot—the pressurized coolant can cause serious burns. Let the engine cool completely before checking coolant levels. If you’re stranded, call for a tow rather than trying to drive an overheating car. Even a short drive can cause thousands of dollars in engine damage. We can diagnose the exact cause of the overheating and fix it properly, which is much less expensive than replacing a damaged engine.

How do I know if I need new tires?

The penny test is a quick way to check tread depth. Insert a penny into your tire’s tread with Lincoln’s head upside down. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, your tires need to be replaced. You should also look for uneven wear patterns, cracks in the sidewall, or bulges. Pay attention to how your car handles. If it’s pulling to one side, vibrating at highway speeds, or taking longer to stop in wet conditions, your tires might be the culprit. In Michigan’s variable weather conditions, good tires are essential for safety. We recommend checking your tire pressure monthly and having your tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to ensure even wear. Proper alignment also extends tire life significantly. If you’re unsure about your tire condition, we can inspect them and let you know if replacement is needed or if you can safely continue driving.

What's the difference between a tune-up and regular maintenance?

Regular maintenance includes routine services like oil changes, filter replacements, and fluid checks that keep your car running smoothly. A tune-up is more comprehensive and typically includes replacing spark plugs, checking ignition components, and ensuring your engine is running at peak efficiency. Modern cars don’t need tune-ups as frequently as older vehicles, but they still benefit from periodic comprehensive inspections. We’ll check your engine’s performance, test emissions components, and replace wear items that affect how your car runs. The timing depends on your vehicle and driving conditions. Most cars benefit from a comprehensive tune-up every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but we’ll recommend the right schedule based on your specific vehicle and how you use it. A well-maintained car runs more efficiently, gets better gas mileage, and is less likely to leave you stranded.
