Long Life Auto Repair is a one-stop auto repair shop, performing services from basic maintenance to electrical trouble-shooting to major engine work.

The mechanics at Long Life have more than 80 years combined experience fixing cars. Mike Bundy, the owner, is an ASE-certified Master Technician.

We certainly do preventive maintenance—there’s nothing more satisfying than solving a problem before it becomes one.  But we also really enjoy fixing what’s broken. The vast majority of cars that we work on are getting up in miles—75 K and more—and are having some repairs come due. Our mission is to be an honest guide for people about what’s needed (and what isn’t) to keep their middle-aged-and-older cars running smoothly and reliably.

Good repair work definitely starts with good communication with the customer. Toward that end we encourage you to ask questions about symptoms or to request quotes. If we work on your car, we commit to explaining clearly:

1) What’s wrong with your car (and how urgent it is)?
2) What’s needed to fix it?
3) How much that will cost?
4) How long it will take?

THE BASICS

At Long Life Auto we like to think we’re very versatile and can handle almost anything mechanical a car needs. This starts with regular maintenance and basic repairs, of course, and here’s a not-necessarily-complete list of the most common jobs we do:

* We do oil changes for our customers, but we’re not a ‘quick oil change’ place. We recommend Valvoline Instant Oil Change if that’s all you need.

IT STARTS WITH A SYMPTOM

Maybe you don’t know what you need, but you’re hearing a noise or feeling something from the car you didn’t before.  You’re the best judge of what’s unusual on your car, so keep track of when the noise/feeling occurs and where on the car it comes from. Then feel free to Contact Us by phone or e-mail and ask about it.

ELECTRICAL & COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS

This kind of work requires very systematic thinking, but we happen to enjoy that. So if your check engine light is on or your power windows work every other Tuesday or your turn signal indicators come on when you hit the brake pedal, we can figure out the problem.

THE BIG JOBS

Sometimes engines need surgery, and we can handle this also.  Whether it’s a preventive timing belt replacement or a last-resort head gasket job, we’re comfortable with this sort of work.  Even if the damage to the engine is fatal, all is not necessarily lost—we often replace entire engines with new, rebuilt, or used engines.

THE LITTLE EXTRAS

We fix a lot of small things that are semi-cosmetic, semi-functional. These include:

• Door locks and handles
• Windows
• Mirrors
• Heat & A/C controls
• Radio antennas
• Lights
• Wipers
• Etc., etc.

CHECKING OUT A USED CAR

If you’re buying a used car, we can give it a thorough going over—of the engine, the undercar, the accessories—before you close the deal. We only charge $50 for this, which is well worth it for the advance notice we can give you of what repairs the car might need. Not to mention that you may be able to negotiate the price down with that info.
