How we distract Phia
Caster angle explained in simple terms. (Caster is what goes out of spec when you hit a curb) Even if toe and camber are in spec, but caster is not, you will still have a drifting or pulling issue, depending on how bad the variance is from one side to the other.
Vehicle alignment issues #mechanic Customer came in asking for repairs, but we weren't made aware of any damage that the vehicle sustained prior to the replacement of the struts, shocks, and c...
If you have a newer car with direct injection, please have a gdi cleaning performed at least every 60,000 miles. (30,000 miles preferably) On older model cars with port/sequential fuel injection, the fuel was sprayed into the intake manifold and mixed with air, then traveled past the intake valve, which also helped keep the valve clean. With direct injection, this is no longer the case, and sludge builds up on the back of the valve until it gets so bad that it prevents the valve from closing. This causes all kinds of engine performance issues, and is much harder to address afterwards because the sludge hardens.
Our favorite lunch spot for tamales. Just like mom use to make.

How Phia ended up as a Mechanic. (In a nutshell)
Happy Father's Day to all the Rad Dads out there. Thank you for teaching us how to check our oil, the air pressure in our tires... and the one time we thought you were a Wizard when you knocked on the starter and the car started up right away.
..and you let us think you were a Wizard well into our adult lives 🤫
Keng is shocked by the beauty of these Bilsteins
