How it works
Pick the symptom, we’ll name the fix
Off-road problems announce themselves. Here’s what each one usually means and what we do about it.
Belt slipping or squealing
Glazed or shredded CVT belt, worn clutch sheaves, or a clutch that needs a rebuild. RZR, Ranger, Wolverine, Pioneer — we stock belts for the common ones.
Won’t start / cranks but won’t fire
Bad fuel, a gummed carburetor, a dead fuel pump, or a failed injector. We start with the cheap stuff and call you before anything expensive.
Clunking or wandering front end
Wheel bearings, ball joints, A-arm bushings, or a bent tie rod. A few hundred dollars caught early; a few thousand if it’s ignored.
Ticking, hard starts, low power
Valve adjustment due. Foreman, Rubicon, Grizzly and Sportsman all need it on schedule — we’ll tell you the interval.
Grinding from a wheel or axle
CV axle boot torn and the joint ran dry, or a wheel bearing gone. We replace axles and bearings same week on most units.
Overheating or coolant smell
Radiator packed with mud, a failed fan, or a water pump on its way out. Bring it before it warps a head.
Off-road brands we service
We are a factory dealer for Honda, Polaris, Yamaha, Kawasaki and service those units to spec. Can-Am off-road (Maverick, Defender, Outlander, Renegade) is not something we take — we’d rather tell you now than waste your trip.

Estimate before the wrench turns
We diagnose, call you with the number, and wait for your OK. No surprise line items at pickup.

UTV & ATV repair questions
How much is a belt replacement?
Labor starts at $149 plus the belt. Bring it in when it starts slipping — a belt that lets go at speed usually takes the clutch cover, and sometimes the clutch, with it.
My four-wheeler won’t start. What will it cost to find out why?
The diagnostic covers fuel, spark and compression checks — get a quote when you book. If you approve the repair, the diagnostic is credited toward it.
Do you service Polaris, Honda and Yamaha under warranty?
Yes. We’re an authorized dealer for all three, so warranty work, recalls and customer-pay repairs all happen in the same bay.
Do you work on Can-Am Mavericks or Defenders?
No. We don’t sell or service Can-Am off-road units, so we can’t get parts or warranty support for them.
I don’t have a trailer.
Free pickup within 60 miles of Slidell. Book online or call and we’ll schedule it.
How long will you keep it?
Most units are in and out in 3–5 business days. If parts are on backorder we’ll call you the day we find out.
