Repair and maintenance for everything that drives through a New Hampshire year — from the first hard frost to the last of the road salt. ASE-certified technicians, six bays, and an honest answer before any work.
Pads, rotors, calipers and lines checked with a gauge, not a glance. Salt eats brake hardware here; we clean and grease every slide pin on every brake job, so the new pads wear evenly to the end.
Pads & rotors from $189 an axle · most same day
03The bay
Six lifts. One standard.
Every car goes up on a lift and gets the same written inspection — tires, brakes, fluids, belts, battery and the underside — whatever it came in for. You get the photos, the measurements and the price.
Free inspection with every service
04The road back
Handed back better than it came.
Road-tested on the same stretch every time, washed in winter so the salt comes off, and handed back with the old parts and an invoice that matches the estimate.
24-month / 24,000-mile warranty on every repair

The Granite year
Four seasons, four checklists.
New Hampshire asks something different of a car every three months. This is what we look at, and when — the season you are in is marked.
Dec – Feb
Winter
Battery load test, winter tires on, coolant tested to −35°F, washer fluid rated to −20°F and wipers that clear.
You are here
Mar – May
Spring
Salt off the underside, brakes and lines checked for corrosion, summer tires back on, alignment after pothole season.
You are here
Jun – Aug
Summer
A/C performance test, cooling system and hoses, tires for the road trip, and an oil change before the long drives.
You are here
Sep – Nov
Fall
Heater and defrost, lights before the dark evenings, belts and battery, and a winter-tire booking before the rush.
You are here

Quality parts made for salted roads, and coated hardware wherever the manufacturer allows it.
24 months, 24,000 miles
Our warranty on parts and labor, in writing, honoured at partner shops across the country.
What can wait, said plainly
We tell you what is urgent, what can wait until spring, and what doesn’t need doing at all.

Kyle showed me the slide pins seized solid with salt — the reason my pads kept wearing on one side. Two winters since, and the brakes are perfect.
Megan T.2015 Subaru Outback · brakes
They told me my struts could wait till spring. They could. Who does that?
Dave L.2012 Ford F-150 · inspection
Dropped it in the night box at 9 pm, had a text with photos by 8:15 the next morning.
Ana R.2019 Honda CR-V · winter-ready
Check-engine light gone after two other shops guessed. Sam found a cracked hose behind the intake.

Questions
Asked every week.
01When should I book winter tires?
October, ideally. The first snow brings a two-week rush. Book early and we hold your slot; we watch the forecast and call if the snow comes sooner.
02Do you store tires?
Yes — $70 a set per season, on racks indoors. They are cleaned, checked for wear and labelled with your name and the position each came off.
03Do you do New Hampshire state inspections?
Yes, safety and emissions, $40. If something fails we show you why, give you a price, and you are free to have it fixed anywhere.
04Will servicing here affect my factory warranty?
No. You can have your car maintained at any qualified shop. We use parts that meet your manufacturer’s specifications and record every service.
05Can I drop my car off early or after hours?
From 6:30 am, or any time through the night box by the office door. We text you when the car is in.
06How long will my car be with you?
Oil changes and tire swaps in about an hour; most brake and suspension work the same day. If parts need ordering we say so, and offer a shuttle or a loaner.
07Do you work on trucks and SUVs?
Every day. Our lifts take full-size pickups and vans; we service most makes, gas, diesel and hybrid.
