Overall

Big shoutout to The Muffler Shop in Houghton for getting my truck's brakes fixed so fast! I had a quote within 3hrs, and the job was finished 2hrs after that. The dude gave me a ride to and from my apartment for free, and even went so far as to plow out the front of the apartment pro bono when the slumlord hadn't shown. They were fairly priced, and (from what I can tell so far) the work seems to be well done (replaced the hard brake line to the front passenger wheel). That, and they even left caramel corn in the spirit of the holidays. To anyone in Houghton looking for a good shop, give these guys a holler.

The Muffler Shop

Engine and Exhaust System

Engine Repair
Check your tires for proper inflation. Under inflation wastes fuel-your engine has to work harder to push the vehicle. Wheels that are out-of-line (as evidenced by uneven tread wear or vehicle pulling) make the engine work harder, too. Properly maintained tires will last longer, meaning fewer scrap tires have to be disposed.
Oil Change
For best results, have the entire brake system - including brake linings - inspected at every other oil change.
Engine Tune-Up
Exhaust System Repair
This shop was great to work with. I am from out of state, but my son needed some exhaust work done on the car he had at college in Houghton. The shop gave him rides back and forth from campus, got the work done quickly, and had reasonable prices.
Starter Repair
Alternator Repair
Engine Services
Engine maintenance is vital to keep your car or truck operating at peak performance. It also impacts the longevity of your vehicle's engine. Trust the experts at NorthStar Auto Repair to help you protect your investment. Call us at 906-482-3773 or visit our shop in Houghton 49931.
Engine Replacement
The engine converts energy into useful mechanical motion. This amazing machine is what keeps your vehicle moving. Although generally reliable, a car engine is susceptible to damage and breakdown. When this happens, do not sit and stress over it. Take action. Take the vehicle to a mechanic for an engine replacement. Bring it to NorthStar Auto Repair. Visit us at 1221 W Memorial Dr for quality engine replacement services.
Engine Diagnostic
We perform scheduled services for domestic vehicles, and provide complete repair services including tires, alignments, brakes, front ends, rear ends, transmissions, diagnostic services, engine diagnostics and repairs, electronics service and repair. We have factory level diagnostic equipment and trained technicians.
Spark Plug Replacement
At NorthStar Auto Repair we recommend replacing spark plugs before they reach the 80,000-mile mark. Many car owners delay spark plug replacement until the engine starts "missing." An engine that is "missing" will typically result in a jerking feeling when accelerating. Spark plugs that are severely worn out will create a pinging or knocking sound. These fouled, worn-out spark plugs can lead to extensive engine damage that is expensive to fix. Therefore, replacing spark plugs before they reach the 80,000-mile mark is very important.
Emissions Inspection
Timing Belt/Chain Replacement
Fuel Injection Service/Repair
Fuel injection is a system for admitting fuel into an engine. Since 1990, fuel injectors have completely replaced carburetors as the primary means of getting gasoline into the engine. A fuel injector atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle (under high pressure). Failure of the fuel injection system means poor performance and ultimately destroys the engine. Make sure your vehicle's fuel injection system is maintained properly. For all your fuel injection maintenance and replacement needs, call 906-482-3773 or visit NorthStar Auto Repair today.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Transmission Service
Transmission Repair
A transfer case is a part of a four wheel drive system found in four wheel drive and all wheel drive vehicles. The transfer case receives power from the transmission and sends it to both the front and rear axles. This can be done with a set of gears, but the majority of transfer cases manufactured today are chain driven. The transfer case is connected to the transmission and also to the front and rear axles by means of drive shafts. Trust the automotive experts at NorthStar Auto Repair for all your transmission repairs.
Transmission Fluid Service
Although most manufacturers recommend a transmission flush every 30,000 miles or every two years, some symptoms may indicate that you need a transmission flush sooner. Some of the symptoms that indicate that your car needs a transmission flush sooner are: transmission grinding or strange noises, problems shifting gears, slipping gears, surging of the car, and delay in vehicle movement. Flushing the used fluid from the transmission washes away tiny particles of dirt, clutch material, and metal shavings. For all your transmission flush needs, call 906-482-3773 or visit NorthStar Auto Repair today - we are transmission experts.
Clutch Service/Repair
Differential Service/Repair
Axle Repair

Steering and Suspension

Suspension Service/Repair
Many newer cars are lubed-for-life, some still require this service. Replacement steering and suspension components require periodic lubrication.
Steering Service/Repair
Wheel alignment (or simply alignment) is standard car maintenance that involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the manufacturer's specifications. The main purpose is to let the suspension and the steering systems operate at their desired angles - this reduces tire wear. Alignment is a complicated process and not all mechanics get it right. To have experts handle your car's alignment, visit NorthStar Auto Repair.
Steering Fluid Service

Heating and Cooling

Air Conditioning Service/Repair
Air Conditioning - A marginally operating system will fail in hot weather. Have the system examined by a qualified technician. Newer models have cabin air filters that clean the air entering the heating and air conditioning system. Check your owner's manual for location and replacement interval.
Radiator Service/Repair
Radiator Flush
A radiator is the part of your vehicle that keeps the engine cool and protects it from excessive heating. To be cool, the radiator needs to remain clean - always. With time, sludge, rust and other solid deposits build up inside your car's radiator. These make the cooling system become clogged and less effective. This in effect hurts your vehicle's performance. A regular radiator flush is enough to keep the system in shape. For this reason, make radiator flushing a part of your routine car maintenance schedule. For all your radiator flush needs, call 906-482-3773 or visit NorthStar Auto Repair today.
Air Filter Replacement
As cars get older, they need more maintenance and repair. Drivers in Houghton must be more diligent about preventative maintenance. Replacing a bad O2 Sensor costs $250.00 on average. This may increase or decrease based on the make and model of your car or truck. However, performing recommended auto maintenance such as air filter replacement and spark plug replacement can extend the life of your O2 sensor.

Tire Rotation
At NorthStar Auto Repair, our highly trained Chevrolet service staff take care of a wide array of problems. We have professional mechanics who understand the American engineering and can perform the general maintenance like oil changes and tire rotations that keep your Chevy vehicle from needing more advanced repairs down the road. Our team has a wealth of experience working on a broad range of Chevrolet makes and models. They can diagnose what is wrong with your Chevy because they understand this iconic American brand inside and out.
Wheel Alignment
Check the tires. Check tire inflation and inspect the tread for uneven wear, indicating the need for wheel alignment. Also look for bulges and bald spots.

Brake Service
I had brake work done by the Muffler Shop and was happy with the outcome. The staff is very friendly and show a genuine interest in your vehicle and its repair. They answered all questions and concerns that I had, and made me feel comfortable with the price and work to be done without suggesting unnecessary repairs.
Brake Fluid Service
Brake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system. It is important to perform a brake fluid flush regularly to ensure that your vehicle is using fresh fluid. Talk to our technicians at NorthStar Auto Repair about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.
