Services
Auto Diagnostics
Our ASE-certified technicians use advanced scan tools to identify engine issues through on-board diagnostics. We explain trouble codes clearly and recommend repairs based on manufacturer specifications. Services include computer system analysis, sensor testing, and check engine light diagnosis for domestic and foreign vehicles.
Brake Repair
We perform comprehensive brake system inspections including pads, rotors, calipers, and fluid checks. Repairs follow manufacturer guidelines with options for resurfacing or replacement. Written estimates and anti-lock braking system diagnostics ensure safety and cost-effectiveness for all vehicle makes.
Wheel Alignment
Computerized alignment adjusts suspension angles to factory specifications, improving tire life and vehicle handling. We check toe, camber, and caster settings, addressing uneven wear patterns and steering drift while maintaining factory tolerances.
Oil Change
Preventative maintenance using manufacturer-recommended oil and filters. Technicians inspect fluid levels, replace oil according to schedule, and check for leaks during each service to maintain engine performance and longevity.
Steering and Suspension
We inspect shocks, struts, control arms, and steering components for wear or damage. Services address vibration, uneven tire wear, and handling issues through precision adjustments and replacement of worn parts to restore safe operation.

Report
I experienced a no crank, no start problem with my vehicle. I inspected everything and swapped out certain components, but it still would not start. I had reached the limits of my knowledge. I decided to take my car to Grand Garage.
Rob was assured that his team could identify the issue. A few hours later, he contacted me to confirm that the team had discovered some damaged wiring caused by mice and had my car operational again in under a day. I highly commend Grand Garage.
