What we look after
Routine care, finding faults, and checking a car before you buy it. On a tuned car it all matters a little more, and we know what to look for.
Scheduled service
Following the manufacturer’s schedule is the minimum. Most European engines list a specific oil approval, and turbochargers rely on clean oil to stay healthy. We can suggest an interval that fits how you drive.
- The manufacturer’s schedule, as a minimum
- Oil that meets your engine’s approval
- Intervals that fit how you drive
Diagnostics
A misfire, a flashing or steady check engine light, poor running or fault codes. Modified cars, other shops’ tunes and problem builds are a large part of what we do, so bring it in whoever built it.
- Check engine lights and fault codes
- Misfires and rough running
- Boost and intake leaks
Pre-purchase inspections
Shopping for a used European car, especially one that has been modified or tuned? We check it before you buy, so you know what you are getting and what it might cost to put right.
- A check before you buy
- Signs of a previous tune
- Modifications nobody mentioned
Keeping a tuned car healthy
A tune asks more of the engine, so the parts that wear matter more than they did before. Good maintenance is part of a reliable tune, and we service the same cars we tune.
- Spark plugs and ignition coils
- Carbon buildup on direct injection engines
- Cooling system and transmission fluid

Yes. Our maintenance work includes European service, scheduled service and pre-purchase inspections, at our published shop labor rate of $180/hr. A tuned car stays a healthy car when it is looked after by people who know the platform.
It needs the right oil, changed on time. Most European manufacturers list a specific oil approval for each engine, and using an oil that meets it matters. Many people with tuned cars choose to shorten the time between oil changes, especially if they drive hard, take short trips or sit in Atlanta traffic in summer heat. We can suggest an interval that fits how you drive.
If you are shopping for a used European car, and especially one that has already been modified or tuned, a pre-purchase inspection is worth it. Because we also tune and service these cars, we can look for things a general inspection may not, like signs of a previous tune or modifications that were not mentioned.
A failing ignition coil typically causes a misfire and often a flashing or steady check engine light. If that happens, ease off and get it checked. Driving hard with a misfire is not good for the engine.
