• Replace CV Joints in Spring and Houston, TX

  Stop That Rattling Sound Do you hear a rattle, rattle noise while accelerating and turning? Most likely it's a C.V. joint (sometimes called a drive axle). The C.V. joint allows your transmission and motor to connect with your wheels through your suspension to move without enabling. In order for this to happen it's necessary to create a joint. After so many miles the "boot" surrounding the joint tears and exposes the joint to water, grime, and dirt. Eventually, all this gunk causes the joint to wear out. This is a fairly easy problem to fix. We do it all the time. Call or come into the location nearest you today so we can help remedy the problem. Tommy Ripley V.P./G.M.

Your Instrument Panel Lights Whenever a check-engine light is illuminated it is recommended to visit an auto repair facility as soon as possible.

A light indicates where your vehicle's problem arises. A diagnostic computer connected to your car gives us more details about why your dash light came on. The computer-given code does not necessarily denote the problem but rather the symptom of the problem. The computer provides the hint that our trained technicians can use to get to the root of the problem. If your car is ready for routine maintenance or a light is illuminated on your instrument panel call us, contact us online, or come on into the Rayford Road location in The Woodlands.
