Every job gets honest assessment, clear communication, and work done right. Take a look at what we offer and reach out when you're ready to get started.
Custom Builds & Rebuilds
Sketchy's Automotive takes on custom builds and full vehicle rebuilds. If you've got a project car or a vehicle you want brought back to life, we're the shop for it
Engine Repair & Rebuilds
From routine engine repairs to full rebuilds, we have the experience to handle it. If your engine is overheating, knocking, burning oil, or losing power bring it in and let's figure out what it needs.
Diagnostics & Check Engine Light
That warning light on your dash means something. We dig into what's actually going on rather than guessing, using diagnostic tools to read your vehicle's data and trace the problem to its source. You'll know exactly what we found before any work gets done.
Starting & Charging
A battery that keeps dying, slow cranking, dimming lights, or a car that won't start. We test the full system, battery, alternator, starter, and give you an accurate repair instead.
Drivability Issues
Hesitation, stalling, surging, poor fuel economy, a car that just doesn't drive like it used to. Drivability problems can be tricky to pin down. We take the time to work through the data and find what's actually causing the issue.
Transmission Service & Repair
Slipping gears, rough shifting, or a transmission that just doesn't feel right. We diagnose and repair both automatic and manual transmissions. Catching transmission problems early saves significant money, so don't put it off.
Brake Repair & Service
Squealing, grinding, a soft pedal, or pulling to one side when you stop. These are signs your brakes need attention. We inspect the full brake system and replace only what actually needs replacing.
Suspension Repair
A rough ride, clunking over bumps, or a car that wanders on the highway usually points to suspension wear. We work on shocks, struts, control arms, ball joints, tie rods, and the rest of the suspension system to get your ride stable and comfortable again.
Electrical Repair
Electrical problems are some of the most frustrating to live with and the hardest to find without the right approach. We trace faults methodically through wiring, sensors, and modules to find the real cause instead of replacing parts until something sticks.
Steering Repair
Loose, stiff, or vague steering affects how safe and comfortable your vehicle is to drive. We repair power steering systems, racks, tie rods, and related components so your car handles the way it should.
