What We Do

Brakes

Pads, rotors, calipers, and lines. We diagnose the real issue — not just what needs changing right now.

Diagnostics from $35

Transmissions

Automatic and manual. Fluid changes, clutch replacement, and full rebuilds when necessary.

Service from $89

Engines

Check engine light diagnosis, timing belts, head gaskets, and full engine rebuilds when it counts.

Diagnose from $45

Suspension

Shocks, struts, control arms, and alignments. Better suspension means better control and less wear on your tires.

Inspection $40

Oil & Fluids

Full-service oil changes, transmission fluid, coolant flush, power steering — everything should be kept fresh.

Oil change from $49

Electrical

Battery, alternator, starter, and wiring. Modern cars run on electronics — we know our way around both.

Testing from $30

Don't see what you need? Call us — if we can't fix it, we'll point you somewhere that can.

Why People
Keep Coming Back

We've been on East 7 Mile for over two decades. We've seen neighborhoods change, cars change, everything change. What hasn't changed is how we work — honest estimates, no hidden fees, and we don't recommend anything you don't actually need.

No commission sales
Our mechanics quote the work. Not a salesperson chasing a upsell number.
Upfront pricing
You get a written estimate before any work starts. Price stays price.
Loaner vehicles
When a job takes longer than a day, we work with you to keep you moving.
Our Full Story
★★★★★

"Took my car in on a Tuesday, they found the real problem — a $40 sensor instead of the $1,200 quote another shop gave me. This place is the real deal."

— Marcus T., Detroit
★★★★★

"Been bringing all three family cars here for years. Motta treats every car like it's his own. Fair prices, real work, no games."

— Leticia R., Harper Woods
★★★★★

"Transmission went out on my minivan at the worst time. Motta's crew got it fixed in three days, under budget, and it ran better than before."

— Dave K., Eastpointe
