What we work on

Everything from a warning light to a rebuilt transmission.

Domestic and import, gas and hybrid. If it needs to come apart, it comes apart here rather than getting sent down the road.

01

Wheel Alignment

It is painted under our name on the front of the building for a reason. Four wheel alignment on our own rack, so your car does not get sent down the road to someone else.

02

Check Engine Diagnostics

A light on the dash is a symptom, not a diagnosis. We read the codes, then we actually test the part before anyone spends money on it.

03

Complete Engine Repair

From a rough idle and a misfire through to the jobs most shops would rather pass on. Domestic and import.

04

A/C Service

Marked on the bay pillar out front. In the Antelope Valley a working A/C is not a luxury item, and we get it cold again.

05

Transmission Work

Automatic transmission diagnosis, repair and replacement, including full rebuild units fitted in house.

06

Brakes & ABS

ABS faults traced properly rather than guessed at, plus the routine brake work that keeps the system honest.

07

TPMS Reset

Tire pressure sensors relearned and reset so the warning light goes out and stays out.

08

Steering Reset

Steering angle sensor reset, the step that gets skipped after suspension or alignment work and leaves a light on.

09

Hybrid Service

Hybrids are in the bay here regularly. Servicing and diagnosis for them alongside everything else.

10

Second Opinions

Been quoted for work somewhere else and it did not sit right? Bring it here. Sometimes the answer is that you do not need it.

Our specialty

Alignment is painted right under our name.

Most general repair shops in the valley send alignment work somewhere else. We do it here, on our own rack, which means one shop is responsible for the suspension work and the alignment that follows it.

That matters more than it sounds. A car that pulls, wanders, or chews through the inside edge of a tire is usually telling you about a worn component, not just a setting. We check the parts before we touch the numbers, then reset the steering angle sensor so you don't drive away with a fresh light on the dash.

  • Four wheel alignment on site
  • Suspension inspected before adjustment
  • Steering angle sensor reset included
  • Uneven tire wear diagnosed, not guessed

Best mechanic shop I've ever been to everyone is smiling. Everyone is happy. Everyone is in a great mood took my mom's car in and got it out the next day. Prices were great. I love how they explained everything to us a couple times even though we didn't get it the first time I Would literally send everybody I know to the shop I promise it won't disappoint. Thank you Intake Auto Repair

Intake Auto Repair is the best to take your car. I could not trust any other mechanic in AV. Had maintenance at Toyota had minor issues but I needed a second opinion brought it to Adonai. One issue was not necessary so I am glad I brought to him. Thank you for your service!!!

Great Service. Came in without appointment and they were willing to squeeze me in for a service. Didn't spend too much time waiting. Definitely would recommend to give them a try.

The shop

Explained twice, if that's what it takes.

The thing customers write about most here isn't the wrench work, it's the conversation. One review describes having the whole job explained a couple of times over, because it hadn't landed the first time, and that being the reason they'd send anyone they know to us.

Another brought a car in for a second opinion after a dealer visit, and left having been told one of the repairs simply wasn't necessary. We would rather lose that line on the invoice than have you paying for something your car doesn't need.

Ask for Adonai. Walk ins get fitted in where we can, and most jobs are back with you quickly.
