Wherever the car sits, it is the same list of jobs, and most of them get done at the house. A few big engine jobs need a shop and a lift instead, and you will hear about it up front if yours is one.

• Brakes: pads, rotors, squeals and grinding
• Engine diagnostics for check engine lights
• Alternators and starters
• Serpentine belts, pulleys and tensioners
• Radiators, radiator hoses and coolant flushes
• Gaskets and the leaks that come from them
• Timing belts, timing chains and camshafts
• Engine replacement
• Oil changes, engine air filters, transmission fluid and power steering fluid

The car trouble is much the same all over the metro. Brakes wear, radiator hoses get soft with age and cooling systems work hard in July. What changes is the parking. A gravel drive out in the county, a cul-de-sac in a newer subdivision and a hilly street in an older part of Kansas City, Kansas each take a little planning for a driveway repair. Mention what you have when you text.
