What We Fix

Real work. Real prices.

From a check-engine light to a full transmission service — if it bolts to a car, Von can handle it.

Diagnostic & Engine Repair

Root-cause work. We don't guess — we diagnose, then we fix it once.

Brakes & Suspension

Pads, rotors, struts, control arms. Stops short. Rides right.

Oil & Routine Maintenance

OEM-spec fluids, real intervals — not whatever the system upsells.

Transmission Service

Fluid service, slipping, hard shifts. Honest assessment first.

Electrical & Computer Diagnostics

The stuff dealerships charge a fortune for. Done at a fair rate.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Before you sign, I look. Save yourself from a lemon.

European & Import Specialist

Meet Von

The mechanic who left the
dealership for you.

Von spent years as a master mechanic at the dealerships. He knows exactly how they work, exactly what they charge, and exactly why you've been overpaying.

He left to open his own private shop so everyday drivers could finally have access to dealership-level expertise without the dealership-level markup.

One mechanic. Full accountability. Zero runaround.
