Carbs, points & early EFI.

The garage for older cars and trucks.

Pre-OBD II specialists in Big Spring, Texas. From carburetors and points to check-engine lights and worn-out wiring, we find the real problem with a meter, a scope and a vacuum gauge before we sell you a part.

Built to be repaired, not replaced.

Pre-OBD II cars, roughly anything built before 1996, are our specialty: real cars, built out of steel, and a few out of fiberglass. Back when they were made to be worked on.

We work on everyday cars and trucks too: paid off, plenty of life left, and worth fixing right instead of replacing.

Appointment only, so your car gets the time it needs instead of getting squeezed between oil changes.

We work on

Pre-1996 classics, cars and trucks
Carbureted and early fuel-injected engines
Points and early electronic ignition
Everyday cars and trucks
Drum and disc brakes
