Auto Repair Services We Offer
Engine Diagnostics & Repair
When that check engine light comes on, don't panic. Bring your car to us, and we'll plug into your vehicle's computer to find out exactly what's happening. Sometimes it's a loose gas cap. Sometimes it's something more serious. Either way, we'll tell you the truth and give you options.
We handle everything from minor sensor replacements to major engine repairs. Rough idle, misfires, loss of power, strange noises under the hood—we've seen it all and fixed it all.
Transmission Diagnostics & Repair
Transmission problems make people nervous, and we understand why. These repairs can get expensive if you're not careful. That's why we always start with a proper diagnosis before recommending any work.
If your car hesitates when shifting, slips between gears, or makes grinding noises, bring it in. Sometimes a fluid service is all you need. When bigger repairs are necessary, we'll explain exactly what's wrong and what it will cost to fix. No pressure, no surprises.
Brake Service & Repair
Brakes keep you and your family safe. If you hear squealing, feel vibration when stopping, or notice your car pulling to one side, get them checked right away. These are warning signs you shouldn't ignore.
We provide complete brake service—pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, and fluid flushes. Our technicians inspect your entire brake system and tell you what needs attention now and what can wait until next time.
Oil Changes
Regular oil changes are the simplest thing you can do to extend your engine's life. We use quality oil and filters, and while we're under the hood, we check your other fluids, belts, and hoses. It's a quick visit that pays off in the long run.
Electrical Diagnostics & Repair
Today's cars are packed with electronics. When something goes wrong, the symptoms can be confusing—flickering lights, dead batteries, accessories that stop working, or a car that won't start for no apparent reason.
Our diagnostic equipment tracks down electrical problems quickly. Whether it's a failing alternator, corroded wiring, or a bad sensor, we'll find it and fix it.
Vehicle Tune-Ups
Can't remember your last tune-up? It's probably time. Fresh spark plugs, new filters, and a thorough inspection keep your car running smoothly and help you get better gas mileage. Tune-ups also let us spot small problems before they turn into breakdowns.
Air Conditioner Service & Repair
Summer in Briarcliffe gets uncomfortable fast when your AC quits. We diagnose and repair all air conditioning problems—compressor failures, refrigerant leaks, clogged condensers, and more. Don't sweat through another commute. Bring it in and let us get that cold air blowing again.
Roadside Assistance & Towing
Stuck on the side of the road? It happens. We offer roadside assistance and towing to get your car to our shop safely. Whether you break down in Briarcliffe, Glenolden, or somewhere else in Delco, give us a call.
State Inspection & Emissions
Pennsylvania requires annual safety inspections and emissions testing. We're a certified inspection station, so you can handle both in one visit. Our inspections are fair and thorough. If something needs fixing, we'll tell you exactly what it is and give you an honest estimate.
Tire Repair & Replacement
Potholes around here are no joke. If you've picked up a nail or damaged a tire, bring it in. We repair tires when we can and help you find the right replacements when you need new ones. We also offer rotations and balancing to help your tires last longer.

Common Questions Briarcliffe Drivers Ask
How do I know when my car needs service?
Pay attention to warning lights, unusual sounds, and changes in how your car drives. If something seems off, it usually is. Getting it checked early almost always saves money compared to waiting until something breaks completely.
Can I wait while my car is being repaired?
For quick services like oil changes or inspections, absolutely. For longer repairs, many of our Briarcliffe customers just walk home, and we call them when it's ready. That's the beauty of having your shop right in the neighborhood.
What if I'm not sure what's wrong?
That's what we're here for. Bring your car in, tell us what you've noticed, and let us figure out the rest. We'll diagnose the problem and explain your options before doing any work.
