Auto repair that comes to you in Orangevale
Orangevale has a more relaxed, semi-rural feel, with larger lots and a lot of trucks, older vehicles and family cars that get used hard. Greenback Ln, Hazel Ave and Madison Ave carry a steady stream of traffic, and the wear shows up in brakes, suspension and tires.
Jake works on passenger cars, light trucks and light duty work vehicles at your property. He will tell you plainly whether a repair is worth doing on an older vehicle, and he will not push parts you do not need.
