What Our Customers Say
Totem Lake Auto Care is awesome. Caleb figured out a stalling issue other shops could not solve and suggested a sensor replacement. Months later my car is still running great, and I will be back for sure.

My old Land Cruiser was misfiring. Caleb diagnosed that a spark plug had backed out and chose not to charge me to fix it. I have not met many people in this business as honest as Caleb.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need engine repair?
Warning signs include knocking or ticking noises, blue or white exhaust smoke, overheating, oil leaks, or a persistent check engine light. We diagnose the cause before recommending work.
When should a timing belt be replaced?
Most manufacturers recommend replacement between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. We can check your vehicle's interval and inspect the belt.
What happens if a head gasket fails?
A failed head gasket can cause overheating, coolant loss, and white exhaust smoke, and can lead to serious damage if ignored. We diagnose and repair it.
Are you qualified to work on my engine?
Yes. Our shop is owned and operated by a BMW master mechanic and staffed by ASE Certified technicians who work on foreign and domestic engines.
Is engine repair worth it versus replacement?
It depends on the vehicle and the problem. After diagnosis we give you an honest comparison so you can make the right call.
