Bringing Your Car to S Main St: What to Expect
How a visit to the shop usually goes, from the phone call to pulling back out onto the road.

Most visits start with a phone call. Tell us the year, make, and model, and describe the symptom, the sound, or the leak. The more specific you are, the faster we can find the problem once the car is on the lift.
When you pull into 1355 S Main St, leave the car and the keys. We will get it up in the air and walk the exhaust and brake systems top to bottom. For most noise and brake complaints we can find the cause in a few minutes.
Before any work starts, you get a straight answer on what is wrong and what it will cost. Nothing gets cut, welded, or swapped until you say go.
Muffler and flex pipe jobs are often done the same day. Brake pad and rotor jobs usually go quick as well. Bigger exhaust replacements, where a full section has to be fabricated, take longer.
We are open seven days a week, 8:30 AM to 6 PM. If you are not sure whether your problem is urgent, call. We will tell you straight.
