🔧 2010 BMW Suspension Overhaul 🔧
Another BMW brought back to proper handling at Lapin Auto Repair.

This 2010 BMW came in with a completely worn-out and damaged rear suspension. After inspection, we found multiple components that needed to be replaced, including the rear shocks, cv axle, and several rear control arms.

We also found torn bushings in all four front lower control arms, so those were replaced as well. Once the suspension repairs were completed, we finished the job with a full wheel alignment to bring everything back into proper specification.

A worn suspension affects much more than comfort—it can impact handling, tire wear, and safety.

🔧 2011 Ford F-150 Engine Repair 🔧
Another truck back in the shop at Lapin Auto Repair.

This 2011 Ford F-150 came in after the serpentine belt came off, leading to multiple issues under the hood. During our inspection, we found a hole in the front engine cover and a seized A/C compressor, which caused the belt to fail.

We diagnosed the root cause and are replacing the damaged components to restore reliable engine operation and accessory drive performance.

When a belt comes off, it’s important to find why—not just install a new belt. Proper diagnostics prevent the same problem from happening again.

🔧 2010 Infiniti G37 Engine Repair 🔧
Another major engine repair completed at Lapin Auto Repair.

This Infiniti G37 came in with low engine oil pressure that wouldn’t hold properly. After a thorough diagnosis, we found the issue was caused by the factory gallery gaskets, a well-known weak point on these engines. The original paper-style gaskets had deteriorated, causing an internal oil pressure leak.

To ensure a long-lasting repair, we upgraded the engine with OEM metal-backed gallery gaskets. Since the front of the engine was already disassembled, we also replaced the timing chain, timing chain guides, and tensioners to restore long-term reliability.

Major engine repairs require precision, experience, and attention to detail—and that’s exactly what we deliver.

🔧 2018 Hyundai Elantra Transmission Replacement 🔧
Another vehicle back on the road at Lapin Auto Repair.

This 2018 Hyundai Elantra came in with a unique issue — it would drive in reverse but not move forward. After performing a complete diagnostic, we found the internal clutch inside the transmission was severely worn, preventing the transmission from engaging forward gears.

After discussing the repair options with the customer, the most reliable and cost-effective solution was to replace the entire transmission. We installed a brand-new OEM transmission from the dealership, restoring smooth operation and reliable performance.

Proper diagnostics lead to the right repair—not guesswork.
