Warm weather or cold, you still need to think about our vehicle's air conditioning. Most people don't service their air conditioning until after it fails. Vehicle manufacturers have preventive maintenance schedules for air conditioning service, just as they do for transmission service, oil changes and so on.

Is there corrosion at the terminals where the battery cables attach to the battery? If there is, the corrosion can interfere with how efficiently electricity passes back and forth from the battery. Our service advisor can help you choose an appropriate battery for your vehicle and your lifestyle. If you need extra power owing to cold weather or a need for more reserve capacity, you may want to choose a heavy-duty battery.
Have us inspect your belts and hoses to make sure there are no leaks! Timing belts keep everything working together - they are tough and flexible, and they last a long time but they do wear out. If they break, the consequences can spell disaster. The serpentine belt powers a lot of engine systems.

Very knowledgeable. These guys have seen it all and knew what my problem was just by my very bad description of the issues I was having. They also gave me great advice for better car maintenance to prevent some of the nastier engine issues from cropping up.

Paradigm has an extremely knowledgeable and skilled. I had ABS issues. They did excellent work and standby it. I find them to be extremely honest. They won't sell you parts or work you don't need. Paradigm will be getting all of my mechanical work. Great job crew.

They did a fantastic job working on my diesel truck. There aren't many places locally that work on diesels. Very professional and knowledgeable. Honest from the beginning. Will be going back for any work I need. Can't ask for better.

I had purchased a Mustang with some aftermarket parts installed on it and was a bit over my head. Patrick and Aaron took the time to explain what all I had and delivered the best customer service I've ever had at a mechanic shop. I will be referring all of my friends and family here. Absolutely, blown away and impressed with how they treated me. You're doing yourself a disservice by going anywhere else.

I brought a truck in to get a full tuneup on the chassis dyno. That never got done, but they managed to lose the flexplate cover. They ordered a replacement, but it was the wrong one. They didn't offer to install it. They replaced a battery that didn't need to be replaced - the starter was actually bad. I finally decided to cut my loses and went to pick up the truck and it barely made it to the next driveway - there were a bunch of vacuum lines disconnected for some reason so I fixed that up myself. I literally can't think of anything that went well and gave them plenty of chances.

These guys are great. Service. Professionalism. Integrity. Brought my truck in for an alignment and rather than charge me unnecessarily they advised me on a recall issue that can be resolved under warranty at the dealer. Thank you for your help! I would recommend this shop to anyone!

Paradigm was highly recommended to me. Staff was professional, courteous and (very important to me) patient with questions. Work was done expeditiously and repair costs were very reasonable. I’ll definitely return and recommend them.

I brought Greg my built 6.0 I bought in pieces to be assembled and completely gone through. Although it may have took a little longer than I hoped the wait was worth it and the product turned out very well. The engine is in the car and running great with awesome oil pressure. Greg was more than willing to answer any questions I had even if they weren't related to the work he was performing for me but just car/performance related questions in general that I had. He kept me up to date on what was going on with the engine and where he was in the process along the way. Definitely will recommend Greg

I called here after our previous auto repair shop declined significantly in their quality of service. I was thrilled with the level of professionalism at Paradigm. I wasn't expecting to get in for a few days, but they squeezed me in the same day I called! The repair ended up being simpler and less costly than I anticipated. I'm looking forward to continuing to give my business to Paradigm.

The first time that I walked in the door, I was treated like family! Anytime that I need anything for my car or just have questions, everyone there is so friendly and helpful! As a single woman it's hard to find a mechanic that you can trust, and Paradigm is it!! Absolute quality and class!!

We found Paradigm through the BNI website. We had our ailing car towed to Paradigm sight-unseen. They were wonderful to work with. They diagnosed the problem, communicated effortlessly, and fixed the car promptly and affordably.
