Your Engine Deserves
a Second Opinion.
Serving Austin and surrounding neighborhoods since 2007. ASE-certified diagnostics you can read on your phone before the car comes off the lift — no surprises, no upsells.
Marcus Webb
Master Diagnostician
ASE #TX-0048-2291The check-engine light
tells half the story.
"I hook up the scanner first, but I listen to the engine before I read the codes. A P0420 can be three different problems — two of them cheap, one of them not. Knowing the difference is the job."
OBD-II Deep Scan
All 16 diagnostic modules read simultaneously, not just the triggered code.
15-Point Report
Digital PDF sent to your phone before we touch a single bolt.
45-Min Turnaround
Most diagnostic appointments completed same-day, often in under an hour.
Flat $89 Fee
Credited toward repair cost if you proceed. No diagnostic upsell surprises.
Brake jobs done right,
not just done fast.
"I measure rotor thickness with a micrometer, not a glance. If a pad is at 4mm, I'll tell you exactly how many miles that buys you. You decide — I just won't let you leave without knowing."

"Priya caught a cracked caliper bracket my dealer missed twice. Incredible eye."

Darius Okafor
Electrical Systems Lead
ASE #TX-0077-3398Intermittent faults are
where most shops stop.
"A fault code is a symptom, not a diagnosis. I use a four-channel oscilloscope to watch the signal in real time while the car's running. That's how you find a wiring issue that only shows up at operating temperature."
Transmission Fluid Analysis
Spectroscopic fluid test identifies wear metals before catastrophic failure.
CAN Bus Diagnostics
Full network scan across all vehicle modules — not just powertrain.
Hybrid & EV Electrical
High-voltage certified technician on staff for Toyota, Honda, and Ford hybrid systems.
Fleet Maintenance Programs
Scheduled maintenance windows for fleets of 3–50 vehicles with consolidated billing.
Real jobs. Real names.
Real vehicles.
Every review below is tied to a specific repair order — not a generic "great service" note.
"Dashboard had three lights on for two months. Marcus diagnosed all of them in 40 minutes, sent me a PDF before I even got a coffee. Fixed the same afternoon. $89 diagnostic credited toward the repair."
Keisha Thornton
2019 Honda CR-V
"We run four delivery vans. Torque set up a maintenance window every Tuesday morning so vehicles are back on the road by noon. The consolidated invoice saves our accountant an hour every month."
Roberto Vásquez
2021 Ford Transit (Fleet × 4)
"Needed the family van road-trip ready before a 1,200-mile drive to Colorado. Booked Tuesday, picked up Thursday with a full report. They caught a rear wheel bearing I had no idea about. Glad they did."
Allison Park
2017 Toyota Sienna
"Onboard charging was dropping to 6A randomly. Darius traced it to a corroded HV connector that the Tesla service center said was "normal behavior." It was not. Fixed in two hours."
Trevor Osei
2022 Tesla Model 3
"They ran a fluid analysis and showed me the results on their tablet — copper particles were elevated. Saved me from a $4,200 rebuild by catching it at a $180 fluid service. That's the kind of shop this is."
Sandra Lim
2018 Subaru Outback
"Pulled in with a grinding noise. Priya had it diagnosed in 20 minutes — worn front pads down to metal and a loose sway bar link. Straight talk, fair price, done by 3 PM. Exactly what you want."
Marcus Delgado
2020 Chevy Silverado
