What we fix
Professional, affordable work on everything from smog checks to rebuilds — the same expert hands handle the quick jobs and the hard ones.
Smog Checks & Inspections
Smog checks and safety inspections done while you wait — reviewers mention being in and out in under 30 minutes.
Transmission Repair & Rebuilds
Clutch packs to full ground-up rebuilds — automatic and manual, gas and diesel, done in-house on the bench.
Engine Diagnostics & Repair
We pinpoint the actual fault before throwing parts at it — and tell you what you don't need replaced.
Brakes, Cooling & Maintenance
Brakes, coolant leaks, fluids, belts and tune-ups — the upkeep that keeps a daily driver out of the shop.
Classic & Muscle Car Service
Carbureted classics, restomods and weekend projects welcome — the older iron gets the same care as the new stuff.
Foreign & Domestic
BMW and Mazda to diesel trucks and the family minivan — newer models and older ones, all under one roof.
Real work, in-house
The jobs other shops send out, we do on the bench
A lot of Fresno shops will scan your car and ship the hard work to a transmission specialist or the dealer. Here, the rebuild happens on this bench — clutch packs, valve bodies and all.
That's the difference customers keep coming back for: one shop that handles the quick smog check and the engine that won't start, without a middleman marking up the bill.

On N Palm Ave
A neighborhood shop, run by the people turning the wrench
North Palm Automotive is a father-and-son family business on N Palm Avenue, just off the Tower District. When you call, you reach the person who'll actually work on your car — not a service writer reading off a screen.
One out-of-town driver broke down in a diesel Silverado on a Saturday evening with most shops already closed; he reached us by phone and we sorted him out. That's the standard here, whether it's a stranded traveler or the regular who's been coming for years.
It's professional, accredited service without the dealership markup or the runaround — expert work, explained in plain English, at a fair and affordable price.

Brent was awesome to work with. Got my car in and out very quickly — he has a high sense of auto knowledge. Would highly recommend.

I called at 3:30 about a safety inspection. They got me in and out before they closed at 5, saved me $120 versus the most popular place in town, and were super friendly.

A father-and-son family business. They're very knowledgeable on both newer and older model vehicles. Dropped my truck off last minute and they took care of it.
