Everything we do

Every service with its scope and what we check. Tap one to see the detail.

Computer diagnostics

Computer diagnostics

Scanner code reading and a road test, so we know what's failing before replacing a single part.

We plug in the scanner, read the computer's codes, check live data and reproduce the fault on the road. You get a diagnosis with what needs doing, in what order and what it costs. No swapping parts to see what sticks.

General mechanics and engine

General mechanics and engine

Timing, gaskets, cylinder head, cooling, clutch and whatever else the engine needs, with parts that hold up.

From a tune-up to a full engine strip-down. We work to factory torque and measurements, not by feel, and we show you the parts we remove. Before we start you get the quote in writing.

Brakes

Brakes

Pads, discs, drums, cylinders and system bleeding. Free check when the pedal feels off.

We measure discs and pads, check hoses, cylinders and fluid, and machine or replace according to the readings. Brake fluid gets changed every two years: in Cartagena's heat, absorbing moisture is only a matter of time.

Suspension and steering

Suspension and steering

Shocks, bushings, tie rods, ball joints and links. The rattles over potholes stop and the car tracks straight again.

We check the whole front end on the lift: shocks, springs, bushings, tie-rod ends, ball joints, sway-bar links and mounts. We tell you what's worn out, what still holds and what's urgent for safety.

Oil and filter change

Oil and filter change

Oil at the viscosity the manual calls for, a new filter and a fluid check while the car is on the lift.

We use the manufacturer's specification, not whatever oil was left over. We change the oil filter and, if due, the air and cabin filters; we check coolant, brakes, steering and leaks. Used oil is disposed of through a licensed handler.

Air conditioning

Air conditioning

Refrigerant recharge, leak detection, cabin filter change and compressor check. In this city that's not a luxury.

We measure high and low pressures, trace leaks with dye, check compressor, condenser and cooling fan, and recharge with the correct refrigerant. When the A/C barely cools, it's almost always a leak before it's a dead compressor.

Electrical system and battery

Electrical system and battery

Battery and alternator testing, starter, lights, fuses and shorts. We look for the cause, not the symptom.

We measure charging and parasitic draw, check alternator, starter, grounds and wiring, and replace whatever is failing. A car that goes flat every week doesn't always need a new battery.

Body work and paint

Body work and paint

From the dent to sound metal: straightening, filler, primer and paint in your car's exact colour.

We handle anything from a scratch to a collision: we straighten, prep the surface, match the colour by code and blend into the neighbouring panels so you can't tell where the repair starts. It leaves polished.

Detailing, polishing and shine

Detailing, polishing and shine

Paint polishing, fine scratch correction, deep interior cleaning and protection against the Caribbean sun.

Technical wash, paint decontamination, multi-stage polishing to remove swirl marks, and a protective sealant or wax. Inside: upholstery, plastics, glass and vents. The car leaves like the day it was delivered.
