Fix Your Car The First Time! No guessing just testing! Are you tired of taking your car in for a repair and then having to take it back the next day because the shop guessed at what it would take to fix your car and guessed wrong? How about when they try one part and it doesn't fix your car so they try another one and it also doesn't fix it? I always felt if your first guess wasn't good enough to fix a car why would you use your second guess? It is a fact that if your car was not fixed the first time that a training, tooling or information system deficiency exists in the repair process. As technologically advanced as the modern automobile is it is still far from rocket science, competent shops simply don't struggle to fix cars. Here at Pete's Garage we approach car repair differently, most shops will guess at what your car needs because maybe they had a similar car in before that had a similar problem. Sometimes they get lucky and do fix your car but more often than not they have to 'fix it twice' or even more than that. We do not rely on guesswork, silver bullets or phone / internet consultants, we rely on being very well trained and very well tooled on a narrow group of manufacturer's cars. That is right we do not work on everything, instead of being generalist mechanics we have chosen to apply ourselves with lots of training on only the following manufacturers: GM (all brands under GM) Chrysler/ Jeep/ Dodge/ Ram Ford (all Ford brands) Honda/ Acura Toyota/ Lexus/ Scion Hyundai/ Kia Subaru (There are over 20 manufacture lines we simply will not work on because the costs to train and tool on all of them doesn't make sense to us) By limiting the brands we work on we are able to study and learn them better. This allows us to be more efficient than others who work on everything. Have you ever heard the phrase "jack of all trades master of none"? This describes many shops very well. Here at Pete's Garage we are "Master" of only a few car lines, and we simply do them better than anyone else. We have earned such a reputation as "fixers" of automobiles that over 30 local garages bring us cars that they haven't been able to repair. That is correct we are the shop that fixes cars for other shops. We specialize in fixing the unfixable cars/ trucks. Sometimes all that is needed to fix a car is update the software in the car's computer, did you know that many shops do not even know how to do that? We are a small shop with 6 bays and 2 owners, both are L1 master mechanics who are also State of Delaware Certified for emissions repair, in fact one of us even helped Department of Natural Resources and Environment Control write the regulation that governs the certification process. We believe in offering value through efficiency and accuracy in our work. Though we specialize in diagnostics we also handle jobs down to basic service items like oil and filter changes and air conditioning services. So whether you have an engine control module that requires programming, a complicated wire problem, issues with your modern diesel truck, just need an oil change done right with the proper oil and a quality filter OR have had your car/truck to 6 other shops and it still isn't fixed rest assured that the last mechanic you will need is here at Pete's Garage.
