Documented repair and verification cases
Photo evidence from real vehicles - scan results, failed parts, teardown findings, and tests we ran before any repair was approved. Less explanation, more proof.
What we actually saw in shop
Each album is a case file: photos, captions, and findings from bay work - not a service menu or marketing gallery.
