Gordon & Sandifer offers auto repair services for domestic and Asian cars, SUVs, minivans and light pickups from our family shop on Perkins Road, where we’ve worked since 1956. Our ASE certified technicians handle the mechanical side and our I-CAR certified technicians handle collision repair, so we can look after the whole car under one roof, even after a wreck.
Every visit works the same way. We inspect the car, explain what we found, tell you what needs attention now and what can wait, and start work only after you approve it. You won’t be talked into a repair your car doesn’t need. Pick a service below to learn more.
Our mechanical auto repair services cover the systems that wear out on any car, SUV or light pickup: oil and fluids, brakes, alignment, suspension and steering, tires, engine diagnostics and climate control. Each one starts with an inspection and a clear estimate, so you know the cost and the reason before any work begins.
Our general auto repair work covers the everyday problems that come up on cars, SUVs and light pickups, from batteries and belts to cooling system leaks. We find the cause, explain it in plain words and give you a clear estimate first.
We do each oil change with the right oil and filter for your engine and take a quick look at tires, fluids, belts and hoses. Short trips, stop-and-go traffic and Louisiana heat count as severe service, so we help you pick an interval that fits how you drive.
Squealing, grinding or a pulsing pedal each point to a different brake problem. Our brake repair service checks pads, rotors, calipers, hoses and fluid, and we replace only what is worn.
Potholes and curbs knock wheels out of alignment, which shows up as pulling, an off-center steering wheel or uneven tire wear. A wheel alignment sets toe, camber and caster back to your carmaker’s specifications.
Clunks over bumps, a bouncy ride or a car that wanders on the highway usually trace back to worn struts, shocks, ball joints or tie rods. Our suspension and steering repair work fixes the worn parts first, then finishes with an alignment.
We sell and install new tires and handle rotation, balancing, flat repair and tire pressure sensor service. Our tires and tire repair page explains tread depth and why it matters in Louisiana downpours.
A steady check engine light and a flashing one mean different things, and a trouble code is only a starting point. Our check engine light diagnostics read freeze-frame and live data and test the system to find the cause before any parts are replaced.
When the AC blows warm in July or the defroster can’t clear a foggy windshield, our AC and heating repair service tracks down the cause. Leak testing comes before any recharge, so you pay to fix the real problem.
Because Gordon & Sandifer does mechanical and collision work in one place, a car damaged in a crash can get its body, paint, suspension, alignment and safety sensors repaired without a trip to a second shop. Our I-CAR certified technicians handle the body and paint work and keep you informed along the way.
From small dents and bumper scuffs to frame and unibody damage, our collision repair team repairs the structure and matches the paint. We work with most auto insurance companies and keep you informed through the claim.
Lane keeping cameras, emergency braking radar and blind spot sensors may need calibration after a windshield replacement, collision repair, alignment or suspension change. Our ADAS calibration page explains when it’s needed, and you can call with your year, make and model to learn what your car needs.
