Services
Oil Change
Our oil change service ensures optimal engine performance using Valvoline synthetic or conventional oil. Technicians perform chassis lubrication, fluid checks, and a 15-point digital inspection with photo documentation. The process includes battery testing, tire pressure adjustments, and brake inspections to identify potential issues before they escalate.
Tire Rotation
Tire rotation extends tread life by evenly distributing wear patterns across all four tires. Our technicians follow manufacturer-recommended patterns, including front-to-back or cross-rotational methods. The service includes wheel balancing to prevent vibrations and improve fuel efficiency, ensuring even wear for up to 7,500 miles between rotations.
Brake Service
Comprehensive brake inspections identify wear indicators like squealing, vibration, or pulling. We replace pads, rotors, and fluids using OEM-quality parts. The service includes anti-lock brake diagnostics, caliper adjustments, and hydraulic system checks to restore stopping power and safety compliance for all vehicle types.
Wheel Alignment
Computerized alignment adjusts toe, camber, and caster angles to factory specifications. This service corrects uneven tire wear, improves handling, and enhances fuel efficiency. A thrust angle analysis ensures all four wheels are properly aligned, with adjustments documented in a post-service printout for customer verification.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Our pre-purchase inspection includes a lift-based mechanical evaluation, fluid leak detection, and diagnostic scanning. Technicians assess engine performance, transmission function, and structural integrity while providing cost estimates for needed repairs. The service includes NH/ME state inspection stickers and photo documentation sent directly to the customer's phone.
