Professional Auto Repair and Excellent Maintenance Services

We recommend an air condition performance test each year before the summer season begins. The performance test includes checking system pressures, test air conditioner components, inspect cabin air filter, and test cooling fan operation. An evaluation is completed on the air conditioners state-of-charge and we recommend a recharge if needed.

A broken windshield can happen at any time. Our auto glass repair and replacement services can get you back on the road quickly. We work with most insurance companies. Please call for details.

Usually recommended every 4 to 5 years. Belts and coolant hoses are inspected at every oil change service and major service. Belts and hoses deteriorate over time and will need to be replaced. Replacing worn belts and hoses will prevent an unnecessary breakdown and avoid potential engine damage.

A complete brake inspection is recommended once a year. We offer complete front and rear brake repair and service, using only the highest quality brake parts at a competitive price. We also diagnose antilock brake problems.

Sometimes brake fluid corrodes lines and cylinders. To reduce the effects of the absorbed moisture, auto manufacturers recommend that you have a brake flush done periodically. A brake system flush involves the replacement of used and contaminated fluid with fresh fluid.

The cabin air filter, also known as “passenger compartment filter,” is designed to remove harmful particles from entering the passenger compartment. It filters the air you breathe while inside the car. The filter Removes road dust, soot, gaseous odors, pollutants, and other contaminants from entering the ventilation system can dramatically improve the quality of air entering the passenger compartment.

Modern day vehicles are fully computer controlled. The check engine light is a dashboard warning light letting the driver know that something within the onboard computer is not functioning correctly. The problem could be a minor issue or something more seriously. When the check engine light comes on, please call for an appointment as soon as possible to avoid further damage, which may end up costing you more.

A car’s computer monitors and adjusts engine and transmission operations. It receives information from different sensors. It also controls spark plugs, idle speed, fuel injectors for optimal performance. The primary reason to reflash a computer (which basically means updating or reinstalling its software) is that an update has been issued by the manufacturer. Have your car’s computer checked regularly. We have the top-of-the-line equipment to do so.

Recommended every 3 years or 30,000 miles. The chemical protection properties of antifreeze deteriorate over time. Changing the antifreeze will help prevent premature failure of the radiator, water pump and other engine components. A cooling system service includes inspect all hoses and belts, inspect cooling system, check for leaks, check heater, defroster, cooling fan operation, flush out old antifreeze, refill with new antifreeze and ensure proper protection in extreme cold and extreme heat.

One of the most important parts of your car. The Block is designed to be sturdy. It is susceptible to damage if a vehicle will not start. Cracking, becoming porous, or freeze plug failure are main block challenges. The Head is the closed head at the end of a cylinder, forming the combustible chamber. Insufficient compression results inn the car being difficult to drive. We will check your cylinder block and head for proper diagnosis.

Usually recommended every 30,000 miles. Driveline components include the transmission, differentials and transfer case. The fluids in these components wear out over time and will need to be replaced as recommended. Replacing these fluids will help to avoid costly repairs and breakdowns.

Most car engines today are well constructed and with proper maintenance will last well over 200,000 miles. However, things can go wrong. We diagnose and repair mechanical engine problems and use only the highest quality engine replacement parts. Any abnormal engine noise, roughness or lack of power should be checked out immediately. Caught early, resolving a mechanical problem may prevent further extensive engine work and extend the life of your car.

We perform all electrical repairs and carry only top-quality alternators and starters. Car batteries will usually last 4 to 5 years. If your car’s battery is more than four years old, it should be tested. We test batteries during a routine service at no charge or, you can stop by anytime for a free battery test.

The most important service for your car is the Oil Change. Engine oil breaks downs over time and can turn into sludge, which can damage internal engine components, resulting in costly engine repairs. Changing the engine oil and filter at its required interval will protect and extend the life of your engine. Oil change mileage intervals vary for different car models. Typically, conventional oil is 4,000 to 5,000 miles, and synthetic oil is around 6,000 miles to 7,000.

Recommended every 30,000 miles. This service will help prevent wear to the steering gear and power steering pump. The procedure will completely flush all the power steering fluid, inspect components for wear, check for leaks and proper operation and add new power steering fluid with a conditioner.

Recommended every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, depending on the car make. We follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and perform a complete bumper to bumper inspection at each service interval. We will also recommend other services that will protect and extend the life of your car.  Performing preventive maintenance services will reduce the chances of a mechanical breakdown, reduce harmful tailpipe emissions, extend the life of your car, and lower the total cost of owning your car.

Inspection recommended once a year. As steering and suspension components wear, the ride and handling performance can deteriorate. In addition, tire wear can result. A routine inspection will reveal worn components and problems. Included in our suspension inspection are all steering components, shock absorbers, struts and springs. We offer a complete line of quality replacement parts for steering and suspension repair.

Recommended every 60,000 or 90,000 miles. A timing belt is an internal engine belt similar in appearance to a fan belt, which drives the engine’s camshaft and often turns the water pump. Because of its design, this belt wears over time and will need to be replaced. If neglected, this belt will eventually break leaving you stranded and can result in extensive costly engine damage. Note: not all engines have timing belts. Your owners’ manual should have this information. If you cannot find the information call or email us. We will let you know if your car has a timing belt and when it must be replaced.

Recommended every 8,000 miles. Tire rotation and wheel balance prolong the life of your tires, saving you money and maintains steering performance.

Recommended every 30,000 miles. Transmission fluid: like other fluids deteriorates over time. Modern transmissions produce tremendous heat, which turns the normally red clean transmission fluid to a burned brown color. For vehicles used for towing or hauling we recommend every replacing the transmission fluid more often, usually every 15,000 miles. This service preserves the proper function of the transmission and reduces internal wear.

Recommended once a year - Potholes and normal wear and tear can cause wheels to become misaligned resulting in abnormal tire wear, pulling to one side and reduces steering performance. All alignment angles for both front and rear wheels will be checked against manufacturer's specifications and adjusted if necessary. Proper wheel alignment will increase tire life plus, maintain steering and braking performance.

Time sometimes determines certain car maintenance needs. Most manufactures recommend intervals of 30,000 miles, and we follow those recommendations to keep your car on the schedule and on road. We recommend following the 30/60/90 schedule for:

• Oil & Filters
• Fluid Flush and Replacement
• Tire Rotation, Spin Balance & Pressure
• Inspection of Parts & Systems—Gears, Tires, Brakes, Belts, Hoses, etc.
• Spark Plugs, Belts, Timing Belts (for higher miles when applicable)
