What We Diagnose and Repair
Brakes
Squealing usually means the wear indicator on the pad has reached the rotors. Whereas a pulsing pedal often points to a warped rotor from heat cycling, a soft, sinking pedal can mean air or a leak in the hydraulic lines. We inspect brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid conditions together, since moisture-absorbed fluid loses stopping power over time, even when the pads look fine.
Engine
A check engine light can mean anything from a loose gas cap to a failing oxygen sensor or a developing misfire. We pull the actual diagnostic trouble codes, then verify them against real symptoms rather than swapping parts based on the code alone.
Cooling System
Overheating is rarely just "low coolant." A failing water pump, a stuck thermostat, or a radiator that's lost its ability to dissipate heat can all starve the engine of the temperature control it needs, and a head gasket failure down the line is a far more expensive outcome than catching a coolant leak early.
Electrical and Battery
A slow crank or dimming lights can trace back to the battery, the alternator, or a parasitic draw pulling power when the car is off. We test the full charging system rather than just replacing the battery and hoping.
Steering and Suspension
Clunks over bumps, a car that pulls to one side, or uneven tire wear usually point to worn shocks or struts, tie rod ends, or ball joints. When they are left unaddressed, they compromise both ride quality and how the car handles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a noise or warning light is serious?
Any new noise, vibration, or dashboard light is worth a diagnostic visit to Lee Myles Auto Care and Transmission. Some issues, like a loose heat shield, are minor; others, like a failing wheel bearing, get more expensive and less safe the longer you drive on them.
Do you work on both domestic and foreign vehicles?
Yes. We service all makes and models.
How long does a typical car repair take?
It depends. Diagnostics and common repairs like brakes or batteries are often done the same day. More involved mechanical work may take longer depending on parts availability; we'll give you a realistic timeline after inspection.
Do you offer a warranty on general repairs?
Yes, most repairs are backed by a warranty, and we perform a post-service check before considering the job complete.
