The cars other shops won't touch.
Pre-OBD II specialists in Big Spring, Texas. Carburetors, points ignition, drum brakes and early fuel injection, diagnosed by hand with a meter, a scope and a vacuum gauge.
What we do
Hands-on work on the systems modern shops have forgotten how to fix.
Points and ignition
Points, dwell and timing set right, or a clean conversion to electronic ignition when you want one.
Early fuel injection
Throttle-body, tuned-port and other early systems, diagnosed with a meter, a scope and the factory manual.
Drum brakes
Shoes, wheel cylinders, hardware, lines and master cylinders, adjusted so it stops straight.
Something else old?
No-starts, stumbles and gremlins. Tell us what it's doing and we'll tell you if it's our kind of job.
