Brakes are pretty much the most important safety device on your car. If you've ever partially lost your brakes in the past, you'll agree that it's not something you want to experience again. Inspecting your brakes twice a year for wear and damage can protect you and your passengers. Additionally, it will also help save you money by catching any damage before it becomes too costly.
Is it really necessary to replace my timing belt at the manufacturer recommended interval? YES. The failure of a timing belt in many cars can result in major engine damage. The cost of repairing an engine with a broken timing belt is much greater than the cost of a timing belt replacement. What does it mean if my "check engine" or "service engine soon" light comes on?

I took my car here after taking it to a dealership. The dealership wanted thousands of dollars just to attempt to fix my vehicle. Tapco was able to diagnose and fix my issue for much less and did a great job. I would recommend anyone take their car here to get fixed.
Services: Engine repair, Check engine light diagnostic

Take your car and money somewhere else, like Green Garage. TAPCO kept my car for over a week while making no attempts to contact and update me on the repair details. I had to call them daily. They did not give me an estimate for the repair and I was stuck with a $200 bill after paying them $300 the week prior. I went in for a new belt and to look at an oil leak and $500 later and my oil light is still on. Also they misgendered me (transman) the entire transaction. Very cool. Also your car will be sitting outside unlocked after they have worked on it.

I stumbled across TAPCO on youtube while finding out what was involved in swapping the body mounts out on my F250. Along with body mounts, my truck needed new wheel hub assemblies and just someone to go over the steering issues i've had for some time, that several shops have looked at and never been able to diagnose. They were able to swap everything out and found a few things I was not aware of were contributing to the slack in my steering. The combination of fixed steering issues and the S&B body mounts, my 240k mile F250 feels like its a 40k mile truck! TAPCO gave great service, communication

Nothing but great things to say about Michael and his techs. Dropped the car off fully expecting it to need a $2000 repair. After they properly diagnosed the issue (unlike me 🙃) it only needed a new radiator. They had it swapped and ready to go just a few hrs after dropping it off. Their professionalism, experience, and integrity really shows. I will be using them exclusively going forward.

Don't go here. They charged my daughter $100 to tell her that her check engine light meant her gas cap was loose. If they'll take advantage of a 19 y/o girl who's out of state, what else do you think they'll do? Seriously: $100 to read a check engine light code and (literally) tighten a gas cap. #epicfail

This was my first time using TAPCO.
My car had a engine piece break late Saturday night and I had to be towed in after hours. I chose to try them because they had some great google reviews - a lot of people said they were helpful, honest, & good to work with.
They followed up with my promptly Monday morning after opening with their diagnosis of my car, had the part ordered by the next morning, and fixed & running by Tuesday afternoon - and for a reasonable price!
They answered all of my questions, were very friendly, & lived up to all their outstanding reviews. I plan to use them for my needs

I had an excellent experience with TAPCO on a '96 FZJ80 restoration. They did a complete engine rebuild, turbo charger upgrade, roof rack installation, OME springs, powder coated factory rims, installed a front bumper, welded a custom rear bumper, and tons of NAPA service parts bringing this 21 year old SUV back to life. They are a first class automotive service and repair company with talented techs and ownership that can fix your daily driver or build your one of kind custom builds. Great work, exceptional service, at a fair price.
