Brake Service
Your vehicle’s braking system is critical to your safety. We offer complete brake services including brake pad and rotor replacement, brake fluid service, caliper inspection, and full system diagnostics. If you hear squeaking, grinding, or notice longer stopping distances, it’s time to get your brakes checked. Our certified technicians use quality parts and precision tools to ensure your brakes perform at their best—keeping you safe on every drive.
CV Axle Replace
The CV (Constant Velocity) axle transfers power from your transmission to the wheels while allowing smooth movement and steering. If you hear clicking noises while turning or feel vibrations while driving, it could be a worn or damaged CV axle. We provide professional CV axle replacement using high-quality parts to restore safe handling and drivability.
Wheel Bearing
Wheel bearings help your wheels spin smoothly with minimal friction. Over time, they can wear out, causing humming noises, uneven tire wear, or shaky steering. We diagnose and replace worn wheel bearings with precision to ensure a quiet, stable, and safe ride. Don’t ignore the signs—timely replacement can prevent further damage to your suspension and steering systems.
Shock/Strut Assembly
Shocks and struts are vital for a smooth ride, proper handling, and safe braking. Worn components can lead to bouncing, nose-diving when braking, or uneven tire wear. We inspect and replace damaged or worn shock and strut assemblies with quality parts to restore comfort, control, and safety on the road.
Spark Plugs
Spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture in your engine, powering your vehicle. Over time, they can wear out, causing misfires, rough idling, poor fuel economy, or hard starts. We replace worn or faulty spark plugs with high-quality parts to restore smooth engine performance, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce emissions.
AC Recharge & Fix
Stay cool and comfortable with our professional A/C system service. We inspect, test, and recharge your vehicle’s air conditioning to ensure it’s blowing cold and running efficiently. From refrigerant refills to leak checks and compressor diagnostics, we’ll keep your A/C system performing at its best—especially during hot weather.
Engine/Transmission Swap
When major components like the engine or transmission fail, a full replacement can be a cost-effective solution. At Potenza Motor Works & Tires, we specialize in professional engine and transmission swaps - whether it's for performance upgrades or replacing a failed unit. Our experienced technicians ensure precise installation, proper fitment, and thorough testing to get your vehicle back on the road safely and reliably.
Timing Chain/Belt
The timing chain or belt keeps your engine’s internal components moving in perfect sync. If it fails, it can cause serious engine damage. We inspect and replace worn timing belts or chains based on manufacturer recommendations. Whether your vehicle uses a belt or a chain, timely replacement ensures reliable performance, prevents costly breakdowns, and keeps your engine running smoothly.

Clutch Replace
Experiencing gear slipping, hard shifting, or a spongy clutch pedal? Our clutch service includes inspection, adjustment, and replacement of worn components to restore smooth performance and prevent transmission damage. Fast, reliable service for all makes and models.
Alternator
The alternator charges the battery and powers the vehicle's electrical systems. If it starts to fail, it can cause a dead battery, engine stalling, or electrical malfunctions. Common signs include dim headlights, unusual noises, or the battery warning light on the dashboard. You may also notice that accessories like the radio or power windows stop working properly.
Starter Motor
The starter is responsible for cranking the engine when you turn the key or push the start button. If the starter fails, the engine won’t turn over, and the car won’t start. Signs of a bad starter include clicking sounds, slow cranking, or no response when trying to start the vehicle. It may also cause intermittent starting issues.
