Recently Hoisted on Our Vehicle Service Bays

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.


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!

A customer brought in his brand new 2024 Land Cruiser for its first oil change. Land Cruisers have been absent from the Canadian market since 1996, so, as car pros, we were quite interested in seeing how it is built this time around and we loved what we saw while it was hoisted!

Water intrusion into the trunk and passenger compartment. Various electrical components not working, like seats and windows. Another successful diagnosis, now just need to find parts!

This is how a hybrid car battery looks like. This battery was removed from a 2007 Toyota Camry, which had over 425,000 kms!

This customer has always kept up on regular maintenance such as 8,000 kilometer oil change intervals of 5W-30 full synthetic oil. This vehicle rarely needs further repairs and never has had a breakdown due to our complimentary vehicle inspections we perform during each and every oil change service. With these, we are able to identify and monitor concerns before anything were to be compromised.
