This vehicle came in with drivability issues, and the culprit was a cracked, leaking intake manifold. A failing intake can cause rough idling, poor fuel economy, loss of power, and even engine misfires.

We replaced the old leaking intake with a new one, and it’s running smooth again.

Don’t ignore the signs—if your vehicle is running rough, let us get to the bottom of it!

No more leaking axle seal!
A worn-out seal can let fluid escape, leading to low fluid levels, contamination, and eventually damage to the differential or transmission. Catching and fixing it early saves you from bigger (and more expensive) repairs down the road.

At Hank’s Automotive Repair & Diagnostics, we make sure the job is done right the first time so you can get back on the road worry-free.

🚙 Worn Body Mounts = Big Problems

Check out this old body mount we pulled compared to the fresh replacement 👀. Body mounts might not seem like a big deal, but they’re what hold your vehicle’s body securely to the frame.

When they wear out or rot away:
• You’ll feel more vibrations and rattles inside the cab.
• Your ride becomes less stable and noisier.
• In extreme cases, it can even affect alignment and safety.

Replacing them helps restore a smoother ride and keeps everything tight and secure.

👉 If your vehicle feels extra noisy, shaky, or just “off,” it might be time for us to take a look at your mounts.

Vibrations be gone!

This vehicle came in with a nasty driveline vibration. After diagnosing the issue, we installed a new yoke and driveshaft to get it back to running smooth and strong.

No more shakes — just a steady ride! 👍

👉 If you’re feeling vibrations while driving, don’t ignore them. It could be a sign of drivetrain or suspension issues. Let Hank’s Automotive get it fixed right the first time.

Leaking axle seals don’t just make a mess — they let gear oil soak into your brakes, reducing stopping power and creating bigger repair bills if left unchecked.

This one came in covered in gear oil, but with a new axle seal installed, it’s sealed up tight and ready for the road again.

👉 If you see fluid where it shouldn’t be, let Hank’s Automotive take a look before it turns into something worse.

It’s the small details that make the biggest difference. 🔧

This vehicle came in with smoke issues. After digging deeper, we found machining flaws in the cylinder head that were causing the problem. Even the tiniest imperfections can lead to major drivability concerns down the road.

At Hank’s Automotive, we don’t just swap parts — we take the time to inspect thoroughly and make sure the root cause is fixed right the first time.

Is your A/C not cooling like it used to?
That green glow you see is dye showing a Freon leak. When refrigerant escapes, your A/C system loses efficiency and can eventually stop working altogether.

Common signs of an A/C leak include:
• Weak or warm airflow from vents
• System cycling on and off frequently
• Hissing sounds from the A/C lines or components

At Hank’s Automotive, we use UV dye and specialized tools to pinpoint leaks, so we can get your system sealed and cooling again quickly.

Coolant leaking or your car overheating?
This could be a sign of a failing water pump. The water pump is essential for circulating coolant through your engine to prevent overheating. When it starts to fail, you might notice:
• Coolant puddles under your vehicle
• Overheating, especially at highway speeds
• Grinding or whining noises from the pump area
• Steam from under the hood

Ignoring the signs can lead to major engine damage. If you spot coolant leaks or experience overheating, have your cooling system inspected right away.
