Mastertek Auto Repair

As temperatures start dropping, rodents 🐁 🐿️ start looking for somewhere warm and your engine bay can become the perfect place.

⚠️ This one didn’t just build a nest. It chewed through wiring and disabled the vehicle’s power steering.

Keep an eye out for rodents around where you park, and watch for signs like nesting material, droppings, chewed insulation, or damaged wiring.

During our inspections, we’re looking for signs like these too because catching it early can save you from a much bigger repair.

Rodent damage can become a big repair fast. 🐿️ 🐁

If you notice squirrels or mice hanging around your vehicle, keep an eye out for nesting material, sticks or leaves where they shouldn’t be, droppings, chewed wiring, or new electrical problems.

That’s one reason a thorough inspection matters.

Catching the signs early could prevent a situation like this Challenger, where a chewed wire resulted in lost power steering.

Small signs are worth checking before they become BIG PROBLEMS.

One of the biggest frustrations with auto repair is not knowing what’s actually happening with your car.

We don’t just tell you what your car needs…we show you📱.

With digital inspections sent right to your phone, you can see the concerns on your actual vehicle and work with our team to prioritize repairs based on safety, urgency, and what can wait.

You should feel informed before you make a decision about your car.

You never know what a full service inspection might uncover.

On this Honda Pilot, we found a dirty air filter that could be hurting fuel mileage and a mouse nest under the engine cover.

The bigger concern with a nest?
👉🏽Mice don’t always stop there. Wires can become the next target, and that can turn a small cleanup into a much more expensive repair.

That’s why we check beyond just the oil.

If you are ready for your next oil change and full service inspection give us a call or use our customer friendly app.

A $7,500-$10,00 engine sounds expensive… until you compare it to another 5–7 years of car payments (over $700/ monthly average).

Before replacing your vehicle, look at the entire picture: its condition, recent repairs, tires, brakes, rust, warranty and what replacing it would actually cost you.

Sometimes repairing the car you already own makes a lot more sense.

A big repair estimate can make you immediately think:

“Maybe I should just get another car. 🚘 ”

But before you make that decision, look at the entire vehicle.
✅Is it paid off?
✅Has it been maintained?
✅What condition is everything else in?
✅And what would replacing it actually cost you?

👉🏽Sometimes moving on makes sense.
👉🏽Sometimes repairing the vehicle you already know makes more financial sense.

Our job isn’t to make that decision for you.

It’s to give you enough information to make a good one.

⚠️ Not every dangerous car problem makes noise.

Brake lines can slowly rust over time without any obvious warning signs.

If one fails during a sudden stop, it could dramatically affect your ability to brake when you need it most.

That’s why we inspect them during every vehicle inspection. Small problems caught early help keep you and your family safer on the road.

This car was already purchased before it came into our shop.

Once we got it on the lift, we found frame damage, a bent radiator support, a major coolant leak, worn aftermarket brakes, cracked steering components, and more.

A used car can look fine from the outside while hiding thousands of dollars in repairs underneath.

Get it inspected before the sale is final.
