Everything we do, and what it costs
Five groups, all makes, all model years out of factory warranty. Every group has its own page with the operations priced line by line.
Diagnosis
Finding out is its own job, priced on its own, and what you own at the end of it is a written finding you can take anywhere — including somewhere else.
The system you notice only when it is wrong. Pads and rotors, brake fluid, calipers and lines, tires, balancing and four-wheel alignment.
In this city the air conditioning is not a comfort item and the cooling system is not a seasonal one. Performance testing, leak finding, compressors, radiators and water pumps.
Misfires, timing components, belts, starters and alternators, transmission service, axles and driveline — the work that follows a diagnosis rather than preceding it.
Oil and filter, fluids, filters, belts, plugs and the mileage-interval services, each priced as a line item rather than discovered at the counter.
Prices are USD ranges for the operation named, at a labor rate of $149 per hour, and include parts and labor unless a line says otherwise. They exclude shop supplies, disposal fees and tax. They are published so you can budget before you call, and they are not an estimate for your vehicle. Reviewed September 2026. The estimate for a specific vehicle is written against that vehicle and authorized by you before any work starts. See the disclaimer.
B 0.1 What we do not do
The honest list of what to take elsewhere
A shop that claims to do everything is either very large or not being straight with you.
Internal transmission rebuilds. We diagnose transmissions, service them, and replace external components. An internal rebuild is specialist work, and if a diagnosis points there we will tell you plainly and say so early rather than starting a job that belongs somewhere else.
Collision and bodywork. Structural repair, panel work and paint are a different trade with different equipment.
Performance modification. Tuning, forced induction and aftermarket engine management are not what this shop is for.
Heavy trucks and commercial vehicles above light-duty. Different lifts, different tooling.
State inspections and emissions testing. Not because we will not — because Florida does not have either. Anyone telling you the state requires your car to be inspected is mistaken or selling something.
What we do do
- All makes
- Domestic, Japanese, Korean and European. No manufacturer affiliation is claimed for any of them.
- Pre-purchase inspections
- Before you buy a used car, with a written report. $189.
- Second opinions
- We read another shop’s estimate against your car for $99, and sometimes the answer is that it is entirely fair.
- Fleet and small business
- Several vehicles on one account with consolidated invoicing. Telephone and ask.
- Estimate
- Written, before any work
- Authorize
- By you, before any work
- Revision
- Needs a second authorization
- Warranty
- Parts and labor, stated in months and miles
- Old parts
- Returned if you ask at write-up
Not sure which group it is?
You do not need to know. Describe what the car is doing and we will work out which group it falls in — or tell you it is one of the things above that belongs elsewhere.
