Veteran-Owned & Operated • Phenix City, Alabama
Gas & diesel specialists with over 15 years of hands-on experience. We take on the big jobs other shops turn away.
💰 Beat a Dealer Quote
Dealers mark up labor and parts — sometimes 2× or more. Submit your quote and we’ll give you a real number, no obligation.
Fully licensed and insured so you're covered and protected on every job, no exceptions.
All services and repairs are reported to Carfax and vehicle history report databases, keeping your records accurate and your vehicle value protected.
We work directly with aftermarket extended warranty companies. Bring your coverage — we'll handle the rest.
Choosing us does not void your existing factory or aftermarket warranty. You're protected before and after the repair.
We specialize in the heavy-duty work that requires real expertise. No job is too big.
Our Specialty
Gas & Diesel
Our specialty. Whether your gas or diesel engine has failed or you're looking for an upgrade, we handle full engine replacements with precision and care — sourcing quality parts and backing our work.
Modern vehicles speak in codes. We use advanced diagnostic tools to accurately identify engine, electrical, and system issues before recommending any repairs.
We offer professional ECU and module reprogramming for Ford and Chevrolet vehicles, with additional makes being added. Proper reprogramming after a repair ensures your vehicle runs exactly as it should.
When your transmission is done, we replace it — new or used, it's handled case by case based on your vehicle and budget. We focus on getting you back on the road with a solid unit, not an endless repair bill.
We service all common refrigerant systems — R-12, R-134a, and the newer R-1234yf — keeping you cool in the Alabama heat regardless of your vehicle's age or type.
From worn-out axles to suspension components that affect ride quality and handling, we diagnose and repair or replace what's needed to get your vehicle driving safely again.

Customer Reviews
Real customers, real results. See why Phenix City trusts Colton's Car Clinic for the big jobs.
“Brought my truck in for a full engine replacement after getting a quote from the dealer for over $6,000. Colton did the same job for way less and had it back to me faster than I expected. Runs like new. Can’t recommend enough.”
“Finally a shop that shoots you straight. Colton told me exactly what was wrong, what it would cost, and stuck to it. No surprises on the final bill. That’s rare these days. My whole family brings their vehicles here now.”
“Had a diesel engine replacement done here. Veteran-owned and it shows — professional, clean work, no BS. Dealer wanted an arm and a leg. Colton handled it no problem. Truck is back on the road and pulling strong.”
