What We Fix
Know the problem? Pick the repair. Not sure? Call and tell us what the car is doing.

Misfires, overheating, rough idle, and engine problems diagnosed before parts get replaced.

Why XAM
The XAM Difference
You Approve the Price Before We Start
You get an itemized estimate first. If we find something else once we’re in there, we stop and call you — nothing gets added without your OK.
We Tell You What Can Wait
Your cabin air filter is fine? We’ll say so. You’ll hear what’s urgent, what can wait and what isn’t worth fixing. We’d rather keep you as a customer than pad one invoice.
Something Not Right? Call Steven.
If a repair we did doesn’t feel right, call and tell us what it’s doing. Bring it back and we’ll check our work first.

Using an independent shop for routine maintenance or repairs doesn’t void your factory warranty. The FTC says a manufacturer or dealer can’t deny coverage simply because someone else did the work, so keep your receipts. Repairs your warranty pays for are usually done at the dealer, so check that first. For everything else, compare itemized estimates for the same parts and labor.
Yes. Ask when you approve the repair and we’ll set the old parts aside for you to look at.
