Maintenance & Repair Equipment

MotorVac Carbon Clean System 
A Better Approach To Vehicle Maintenance
Any vehicle with over 50,000 miles will run at a level of efficiency considerably reduced. This is due to carbon deposits that accumulate in the fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chambers of your vehicle. Carbon build-up clogs fuel injectors and decreases combustion efficiency. Carbon build-up gradually robs your vehicle of performance and fuel mileage. Unlike the traditional method of dealing with carbon build up, which only cleaned the fuel injectors the MotorVac cleaning system attacks all of the internal engine and fuel system components that are effected by carbon build-up. Our de-carbonizing service gently strips away the levels of carbon deposits without disassembling the engine or removing any components. The effect of this service will help eliminate hesitations, hard starts and rough idle. The results will increase fuel mileage and will restore “new car” performance.             

Symtech Headlight Adjustment System
    Our new high tech headlamp alignment system allows us to set the adjustments on any modern car without making contact with the headlight. This new system takes a laser impression of the headlight and allows us make required adjustments with nearly perfect accuracy.  No longer do you have to put up with lights that point at the ground or to the side of the road.

Ammco Brake Equipment
    Our complete service includes one-day brake jobs quality brake repair requires having a good smooth surface for the brake lining to make contact with.  Since we have multiple high quality brake lathes on the premises, we can resurface brake drums and rotors with a quick turn around. The results are a quality brake repair with smooth stopping and no squealing!
