Don't see yours? Call anyway. Our shop motto is "We never run away from any job."

Scheduled maintenance

We follow your manufacturer's schedule and use the oil and filter it specifies, because no single oil is right for every car. Your factory warranty stays valid when your service book is stamped and records are kept.

Preventive maintenance costs less than the repair it avoids, and that's what we'll advise.

Check engine diagnostics

A bad sensor signal can turn into an expensive repair, and a lit check engine light means no inspection sticker. Our current scan tools and manufacturer data find the real cause, so you aren't paying to replace parts by guesswork.

Fuel injection and carburetors

Every manufacturer designs its injection differently. We keep your specs and troubleshooting codes on hand and pair computer diagnosis with long hands-on experience, and we still rebuild and tune carburetors.

Bring it in if you're seeing poor performance, hard starts, stalling, failed emissions tests or falling fuel economy.

Air conditioning

We service current systems, upgrade older ones to 134A, and can add air conditioning to a car that never had it. For classics, we'll find hard-to-find parts or fabricate them in-house. Most A/C work is drop off and pick up the same day.

Tires, wheels and alignment

Your tires are all that stands between you and the road. We balance and align on our own equipment, and we fix what New England winters do to wheels.

Performance and custom work

Custom chassis tuning for street, track and autocross comes from Lindsey Brown, our shop foreman since 1982. We also take on welding, fabrication, custom projects and consulting.
