    How to tell what you actually need

    Most people arrive describing a symptom rather than a service, which is the right way round. A squeal when braking, a vibration at speed, air conditioning that fades in traffic, a check engine light — each of those points at several possible causes, and the useful first step is diagnosis rather than picking a repair from a menu. If you are not sure which category your problem falls into, call and describe it. We would rather point you at the right service than sell you the wrong one.

    What is covered, and what is not

    We handle general repair and maintenance across all makes — brakes, oil and fluids, batteries and charging, air conditioning, engine and transmission work, exhaust, suspension and steering, tires, diagnostics, emissions testing and pre-purchase inspections. What we do not do is present ourselves as a specialist in things we are not: high-voltage traction battery and drive-unit work on hybrids and EVs needs a shop equipped for it, and collision and body repair is a separate trade. For conventional service on a hybrid — tires, brakes, suspension, filters, twelve-volt electrics — it is an ordinary car and we treat it as one.

    Written estimates and a real warranty

    Every repair carries a written estimate before work starts and a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty on parts and labor. You approve the figure before anything is touched, and if a job turns out to need more, you get told and you decide. We will also tell you when something can wait, which is the part most people find unusual — a shop that separates urgent from merely worn is more useful than one that presents everything as equally pressing.

    Emissions testing at both shops

    Travis and Williamson counties both still require an annual emissions test before you can renew your registration — the statewide safety inspection ended in January 2025, but this did not. We test on site at both locations so it is one stop rather than two, and the result transmits to the state electronically. One thing worth knowing before you come: an active check engine light is an automatic fail under state OBD rules, and clearing the code beforehand fails too, because the readiness monitors reset and show as incomplete.
