Yes, absolutely. Our shop is fully equipped with advanced diagnostic tools, and our certified technicians are highly experienced in both routine maintenance and specialized repairs, including complex engine rebuilds and transmission services.

Often yes. Many “pre-programmed” modules sold online are flashed with a generic baseline calibration, not the specific file for your VIN. Certain modules — especially on Nissan, Ford, and GM vehicles — also require an immobilizer or anti-theft pairing step that can only be performed with the car present. We recommend bringing the vehicle in to verify before assuming it’s ready to run.

ECM (Engine Control Module) and PCM (Powertrain Control Module) programming is the process of writing the correct software calibration to your vehicle’s computer after it has been replaced. You need it any time a control module is replaced — whether it’s a new, remanufactured, or salvage unit. A module without the correct program will often prevent your vehicle from starting or cause serious drivability problems.

While we strongly recommend scheduling an appointment to guarantee the fastest service, especially for complex repairs, we do accept walk-ins for quick services like oil changes and fluid checks when our schedule allows. It’s always best to call ahead!
