A list of the common repairs we do
Interactive Inspections
Your car has never been inspected like this before.
When you go in for an inspection at most shops, you hand off the keys and your car disappears back into the shop. Some time later a sales guy shows up with a long list of really expensive things you “should really fix now.”
We do it differently at Subiesmith. Here, we welcome you to join your technician back in the bay while your car is inspected. You’ll be standing right next them under the car, holding a flashlight. We will show you what we’re checking and how we check it. The reason we are recommending each repair will be explained. We want you to have as much information as you need so you can made an educated decision on what things to fix and what can wait for later.
By the time we finish your inspection, you will have a very clear idea of the mechanical status of your vehicle. You will be provided a full price list for the recommended repairs along with severity of the concerns.
Please call to make an appointment. Takes about an hour.
