We are preventive maintenance specialists:

The best way to minimize more serious breakdowns and the higher costs associated with automotive repair is by doing routine preventive maintenance.

When I (John Whalen) first started as a mechanic I worked on tractor trailers and heavy equipment. The owners of this equipment understood that long vehicle life saved money and that preventive maintenance was the way to long vehicle life. This lesson applies to cars and light trucks as well.

Intelligently-spent preventive maintenance dollars can add years to the life of your car or truck.

Preventive maintenance is simply what  your vehicle needs to keep it running well for the longest possible time with the least cost. Whether you have a car, SUV or truck we provide all maintenance services it will ever need.

Brake system service and repair

Your vehicle’s brake system is one of the hardest working systems on your vehicle. Regular maintenance and inspection is important for both safety and reliability. For these reasons Whalen Automotive provides a complimentary brake inspection with every service. We are also expert at anti-lock brake system (ABS) diagnostics and repairs.

Transmission Repair or Replacement

The transmission may well be one of the most complicated and important components of your car or truck. That’s why it’s important to trust its maintenance and repair to a full-service shop.
