Car Diagnostics
Not sure what that warning light means? At Balfour Auto Service, our mechanics use advanced diagnostic tools, industry experience, and proven techniques to accurately identify the underlying issue and carry out the correct repairs the first time. We don’t guess. We carry out accurate diagnostics to identify the exact issue, ensuring you only pay for the repairs and services your vehicle genuinely needs.
Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspections
Thinking about buying a used car? Our pre-purchase vehicle inspections go well beyond a simple look-over. We thoroughly assess the vehicle’s mechanical condition, service history, structural integrity, electrical systems, and any hidden problems that could cost you significantly after purchase. Our goal is to give you complete peace of mind before you commit, so you can make a confident, well-informed decision. If the vehicle isn’t worth buying, we’ll let you know before it ends up costing you more in repairs and maintenance.
Transmission Repairs

If left unattended, even minor issues can develop into major repairs, resulting in higher costs and reduced vehicle reliability.At Balfour Auto Service, we handle complete transmission repairs, rebuilds, and installations across all makes and models. From minor fluid leaks to major internal failures, our team accurately diagnoses the issue and resolves it using quality parts and industry-standard techniques, ensuring your vehicle shifts smoothly and reliably.
