Recently Completed Repairs

Timing Belt Service

2002 Audi A4

This customer came John And Son Auto Repair due to a grinding noise emanating from the front of his engine. Obviously, he was concerned. After an inspection, we found that the noise was generated form the timing belt driven water pump. As the belt was well out of the time specification, it was time to complete a timing belt service. As it is an Audi, the job was extremely difficult and required specialty tools. Parts to complete the job include, cam and crankshaft seals, timing belt, idler tensioners, timing belt, water pump, and etc.

To complete the job, the car must be placed in “service mode,” in other words; we had to pull the entire front of the car apart. Also, we have the necessary specialty tools to hold the camshafts while we complete the service. See the pictures above pictures, to get the full effect of the timing belt service on the Audi.

mechanical restoration

1986 Porsche 944

This vehicle was purchased by the shop from a gentleman who needed a vehicle that was more reliable and functional. The vehicle was past due on maintenance especially the timing belts and water pump.

The power steering pump was pouring fluid every time you turned the wheel, and the A/C and radio do not work. It also had some cosmetic blemishes on the doors. We have undertaken the task of rejuvenating the vehicle.

cvt transmission

2006 Nissan Altima

The customer drove the vehicle to our shop complaining of a loud grinding noise from the engine compartment. Upon driving the vehicle, we noticed that the transmission was slipping. Nissans CVT transmission are known to have early failures.

They have extended warranties on a number of different vehicles to cover this issue. Unfortunately, this vehicle was out of warranty by mileage. We replaced the CVT transmission with a new unit from the Nissan factory. (There is no way to get a good remanufactured unit) The slipping and grinding noise were fixed.

$3,400 – We were $300 cheaper than the local Nissan dealer.
