What we specialize in

Subaru & Japanese imports

Subarus, Toyotas, Hondas. The imports a lot of shops around here would rather not take on. Bring it in and we'll tell you straight what it needs.

Diesel

Raymond spent nine years as a diesel technician in the military. Diesel is not a sideline here, it is what he was trained on.

Motorcycles & trailers

Bikes and trailers, which most general shops in the area simply will not touch. If you have been turned away somewhere else, call us.

Who we are

A veteran, a workshop,
and no games

Raymond Cutts spent nine years as a diesel technician in the military before taking over the shop here on Columbia Boulevard. The name is his, which is a large part of why the work gets done the way it does.

Ask around Bloomsburg and you get the same answer twice: he tells you exactly how it is. If something can wait, he says so. If it is fine, he says that too. There is no version of this where you get talked into a repair you did not need.

Cars, trucks, trailers, motorcycles. Big and small. Bring it in.

The people here

Who is actually working on it

Raymond Cutts

Veteran

Owner & diesel technician

Raymond spent nine years as a diesel technician in the military before taking over the shop on Columbia Boulevard. He is the one who answers the phone, the one who looks at your vehicle, and the one whose name is on the sign. That is a large part of why the work gets done the way it does.

When you call, you get Raymond. He is the one who looks at your vehicle and the one who tells you what it needs. It is why every review here mentions him by name.

What we do

Repairs, tires, parts, inspection

A full workshop and a parts counter under one roof, which is usually why a job here finishes the same day instead of waiting on a delivery.

Repairs & diagnostics

Something making a noise, a light on the dash, or a problem nobody else has been able to find. We diagnose it properly and tell you what it actually needs.

State safety inspection

Pennsylvania safety inspections done here, in the bay, by the people who will also fix whatever it turns up. No sending you somewhere else.

Tires

Fitting, repairs, and replacements. If a tire can be safely patched rather than replaced, we will tell you that.

Parts

We stock parts on the shelf, so a lot of jobs get finished the same day instead of waiting on an order to land.

Exhaust & brakes

The wear-and-tear work that keeps a vehicle safe and legal, done without a lecture about ten other things you didn't ask about.

Big and small

Cars, trucks, trailers and motorcycles. If it has wheels, bring it in and we'll take a look.

What we don't do

Transmission rebuilds. We don't rebuild transmissions in house. If that's what yours needs, we'll tell you early rather than after we've had it a week.

Pennsylvania state inspection

Inspection due? We do it here.

Safety inspections are done in the bay by the same people who would fix anything it turns up, so you are not sent across town with a list. Call ahead and we'll tell you when to bring it in.

Clear pricing

You will know the price before we start

Nobody likes calling a shop and being told to just bring it in and see. So here is exactly how it works here. No guessing, and nothing added on at the end.

You get an estimate first

Before anything is touched, you find out what the job is and what it costs. Free, every time.

Nothing happens until you say so

If we find something else while we are in there, you get a phone call. You decide. We do not just do it and add it to the bill.

We will not sell you what you do not need

If it can wait, we will tell you it can wait. If it is fine, we will tell you it is fine.

The number you are quoted is the number you pay

No mystery line items at the end, and no surprises when you come to collect it.

Call for an estimate

Estimates are free. Tell us what it is doing and we will tell you what it takes.

Common questions

Before you call

Do you do Pennsylvania state inspections?

Yes. Safety inspections are done here in the bay. Give us a call and we'll tell you when to bring it in.

What will it cost?

Call and describe the problem and we will give you an estimate before you commit to anything. If we find something else once it is up on the lift, you get a phone call before any extra work happens.

What vehicles do you work on?

Cars, trucks, trailers and motorcycles. Big and small. If you are not sure, call and ask.

Do I need an appointment?

Weekdays you can call or come in. Saturdays are by appointment only, so give us a ring during the week and we'll set you a time.

Do you work on Subarus and other imports?

Yes. Subarus, Toyotas, Hondas and other imports are a big part of what comes through here, and a lot of shops nearby won't take them on.

Do you work on motorcycles and trailers?

We do, and it's one of the things that sets us apart. Most general shops around here won't touch a bike or a trailer. If you've been turned away somewhere else, give us a call.

Do you rebuild transmissions?

Not in house. If that's what your vehicle turns out to need, we'll tell you early rather than after we've had it sitting for a week.

Do you sell parts as well as fit them?

We do. There are parts on the shelf here, which is often why a job gets finished the same day rather than waiting on a delivery.

Tell us what it is doing

One phone call and you will know what your vehicle needs and what it costs. No obligation, and no pressure at the end of it.
