Ball Joint Failure in Maitland

At the risk of being accused of using scare tactics to sell repairs; check out these photos. This happened when a ball joint failed. A penny wise and a pound foolish. The $200 ball joint replacement became a $1500 front end rebuild. Not to mention that someone might have died when the wheel fell off.

Worn out tires DANGER!

When you walk by this car the tires look fine, but on a closer look, the inner edge is worn so severely that the steel belt is exposed. This is what a tire looks like just before the tread comes off and tears up the fender. This can make for some ugly damage to your car, not to mention the risk of causing a crash.

We recently had the pleasure of installing tires and shocks on this beautiful classic car.

1959 Corvette

Got a classic car that needs a little TLC? This old corvette will be a daily driver when we get it all tuned up.

Car falls apart when lifted

I really get upset when people in our industry try to make their shop look good by bashing the defenseless last shop who worked on your car. As a matter of policy I greatly discourage it. None-the-less, this case is irresistable. This explorer had a bunch of front end parts installed by some other shop. They did all the easy stuff and passed over the hard work, changing the ball joints. Trouble is, usually the ball joints are the greatest safety concern. In this case when we lifted the car the upper ball joint fell out of the spindle. Can you image what might have happened if this had fallen apart out on the road?

Classic cars are us

This 68 Impala came in for a coolant leak from the freeze plugs. Engine removed for reseal and cleanup.
