Performed full wheel alignment after vehicle was lowered on Bilstein shocks.
Our customer reported that this 2.5L naturally aspirated Boxster engine was losing coolant, overheating, steaming and loss of power. Our diagnostics showed that it had breached/blown head gaskets. We ended up removing and rebuilding the entire engine. Rebuilt the heads as well. Installed new multi layer steel head gaskets (the Subaru issue is the head gaskets are single ply composite gaskets and that is why they are so weak). We then installed a whole new clutch assembly (flywheel, clutch kit, bearing, fork etc.) as well as hydraulic system. We serviced the timing belt and the water pump as well as replacing the front and rear main/crankshaft seals. The vehicle is back on the road, running as good as new!

Vehicle was in extremely good shape and will venture off in the summer with the driver having peace of mind knowing it will make it there and back safely.
A fuel filter from a 2014 VW TDI showing early signs of pump failure. Lots of small metal particulate indicating internal wear and tear.
This vehicle came in for its regular 8,000 kilometer interval oil change service as well as the install of 4 new Pirelli "Scorpion" all season tires. During the complimentary vehicle safety examination we perform alongside every regular oil change, we discovered that the front pinion seal had a major oil leak. We immediately ordered the parts required and repaired the transfer case leak on the same day. Customers left with peace at mind knowing there are no more fluid leaks present on their vehicle.
This customer came in with their 2013 Subaru BRZ due to a concern of when starting off in first gear it was creating a loud screeching and the clutch pedal would not fully return. We discovered the clutch to be heavily worn as well as the throw out bearing to have failed which was then being hung up by the clutch fork causing that high pitch squeal. We replaced the clutch assembly as well as the throw out bearing, retainer clip and clutch fork. We then machined the flywheel and reinstalled. The vehicle now drives as normal.
This vehicle came in today for regular service - lube, oil and filter. Upon performing the complimentary vehicle safety examination performed at every oil change service, we found that the cabin air filter was extremely dirty, which we replaced with an activated charcoal upgrade option. We also discovered that the battery (which was originally from 2019) tested very poorly which can put a strain on the charging system (such as the alternator). In this case we replaced the battery with a NAPA brand that comes with a 6 year warranty.
This Mercedes SUV was in for its regular servicing with Andersen A1 Autohaus!
