The Picture
My first engine job was done at a shop in Georgia. The shop was in Northlake Georgia, the engine was brought from a reliable source.
Need one Pulled?
I won’t be pulling your engine, but I can refer you to a shop that is more equipped to do the job correctly and the right way.
Need a New Rack?
In addition to engines and transmissions, a rack and pinion may be referred to a shop. Some rack & pinion jobs require the engine and transmission cradle to be drop before the rack can be removed.
No Big Jobs
Performing these jobs is possible, it’s just unprofessional. I also provide mobile emergency services, therefore being locked in on one job is not feasible.
Why?
The job in the picture above took me three weeks to complete, here’s why. The first engine was left outside and had water damage.
Second Engine
The second engine was installed but had a lower rod knock. The third engine was a success, and our customer was able to drive off with his vehicle a month later.
Snap-On Tools
The intuitive MODIS Ultra scan tool gives me access to the sophistication and convenience of a scope, scanner and exclusive Fast-Track tips and timesavers tips when diagnosing your vehicle in one platform. I do enjoy the eight-inch touch screen display that I can operate by touch or by its 4-way thumb pad, MODIS Ultra allows me to move between jobs quickly and accurately. It is the BEST in the Industry!

Past Reviews
He arrived 5 minutes earlier than our appointment, and completed the job quickly in the rain! I was very impressed with his customer service skills! I will definitely book him again!
Patricia, Hamtramck, MI
Claud Rasberry is wonderful: personable, engaging, and a wonderful mechanic. He got my father's 32-year-old Mercedes running almost immediately, gave it a thorough inspection, and was incredibly honest. He didn't try to find problems where there weren't any. I'd trust him with any car and would use him again in a heartbeat.
Erica, Detroit, MI
Claude was very helpful and detailed in his inspection. Very approachable and trustworthy. The whole process was very convenient as I am in the middle of a bathroom remodel and every spare moment is going to that. So to have the vehicle evaluated while I was working on something else and I did not have to stop what I was doing to take and pick up my vehicle was priceless. Will definitely use this service again and Claude.

Lifting Tools
JEGS low-profile heavy-duty floor jacks have a lifting capacity of up to 6,000 pounds, and a low saddle height allows easy use. My favorite feature is the fact that the aluminum body saved me from back stress. This is my jack of choice since it has a 360-degree rotating saddle, rubber lift pad, knurled handle grip, and the ability to elevate to a height of twenty inches, love how easy it is to get it in and out the truck.
Theory & Operations
My Career
My automotive career started long before I got my degree. I attended Gwinnett Technical College and received my Automotive Degree in late 2012. I have been working since and now providing professional auto repair service. I worked for Ford Motor Company for four years as a Service Engineer, my career is still on going.
Warranty
My services do come with a warranty! If your starter for example is no longer operating as designed, you can book an appointment for an inspection. If the starter is NOT operating as designed, I will try to replace the part ASAP and you only pay for the trip. However, if the part is ok, you do pay a one-hour labor cost for the inspection.
Service Cost
My prices are set; the part and labor algorithm is based on alldata's infrastructure. They perform monthly updates based on technicians in the field including dealerships. So, if it takes 3.4 hours to install your water pump, I won't do the job for 3 hours flat. Do not despair and rest assured the job I do will be conducted the right way.
Car Won't Start?
There is a difference between a NO-CRANK or a CRANK-NO-START! If you try to start your vehicle and you hear the engine trying to start. You have a CRANK-NO-START, this me that the engine is cranking. If you try to start the vehicle and you don’t hear the engine trying to start, that’s a NO-CRANK. Check out this wonderful explanation by 1A Auto.
Gwinnett Technical College
A two-year degree at an accredited program where you learn the basics of engines, repair, transmission, heating and cooling, suspension and computer technology in vehicles.
Transmission specialists, also known as transmission mechanics, may work in general repair shops or specialty transmission repair facilities. They may work on cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles.
A climate control technician, also known as an HVAC technician, installs, maintains, and repairs heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) systems. They may also work on building automation and energy management control systems.
Rust
Rust is the main reason your appointment may have been canceled. A work around is possible, the component that can’t be removed must be damaged to be removed in most cases. You would then have to replace both components. If you need a rack and pinion and the lines are seized, they may have to be cut out and replaced, if approved.
Minor Jobs
Disc Brake Caliper
Did you damage your brake calipers? They are expensive, and your brake system may also need to be flushed and bleed. First there is a squeak ( You need brake pads ) then there is a grinding sound ( You now need brakes and rotors ). If you loss a significant amount of braking power you’ve just lost a brake pad and now need a caliper.
Cartridge Fuses
Check your fuses before you start replacing electrical components. It’s an old story a mechanic hears on a regular basis. Customer stats: I have replaced the starter; the alternator and I brought a new battery. All you needed was a replacement fuse, the certified mechanic states.
Engine Oil Quality
When it comes to oil change, confirm what brand is being used in your vehicle. You can have your oil change at a quick lube shop. Always keep in mind that bulk oil is a mystery to date, there might not be a concern. If the oil change was cheap, how much did the shop paid for the bulk oil?
Wheel Hub Assembly
Although some hubs are somewhat difficult to remove, the job can be done on a mobile platform. If the hub is seized onto the knuckle, a used knuckle can be bought.
Alternator Installation
Have the alternator tested by a certified mechanic. A new alternator is expensive, and they do last a long time, please make sure you do need one.
Drive Belt Tensioner
Did your drive belt disintegrated, walk off the pullies or you hear squealing noise that has become unbearable. Here's an idea, install a drive belt kit.
Got an Oil Change?
Have your oil changed on a regular basis, THEN check and confirm that the service has been conducted; How? Pull the dipstick or have the quality of the engine oil CHECKED. Telling good people, they need an engine is the definition of a bad day. The reflective material you see on this oil filter is metal from the engine which has prematurely failed. The owner of the vehicle “WAS” getting their oil change when recommended (every 3 to 6 months). In the end, the oil WAS NOT changed for months due to the color of the oil, FOR whatever reason.
Milwaukee Tools
The M18 CORDLESS system developed by Milwaukee is the ultimate combination of professional grade power, extreme performance, and superior ergonomics. Using these tools is and experience, Milwaukee is the leader when it comes to quality handheld tools. I do keep my array of tools updated on a yearly basis. My favorite part of this whole experience is getting to use my tools, so book ASAP.
Your Own Part
Make sure you have a warranty with the provider you acquired the part from. If the part is NOT a quality part, your service request may be cancelled. You would still be responsible for the cancellation fee.
