Cooling System Repair
The cooling system, often confused with the A/C unit, is the mechanism that cools your engine, keeping it functional. Your cooling system consists of the radiator, water pump, hoses, thermostat, cooling fan, and of course cooling fluids like the antifreeze/coolant. If this system is failing, the heat your engine takes in will become overwhelming, resulting in engine failure. The signs your cooling system needs service are: • Coolant/antifreeze leaks. • Excessive white smoke expelling from your exhaust. • Vehicle overheating. • Dashboard temperature gauge is redlining. • Low coolant levels. Our technicians have the tools and equipment to diagnose and fix your cooling system problems, whether it’s a leak, a fan, a hose, or a water pump issue. Contact us today! -
Winter Tires
When it comes to the harsh winter season, the type of tires you have on your vehicle is important, especially where you drive. Winter tires are specifically engineered to have the best traction in the cold and are branded with a mountain accompanied by a snowflake. This symbol means the tire complies with severe snow standards. There are some all-weather tires that also are branded with the mountain and snowflake tamp as well. Why buy winter tires: • Prolonged life between summer and winter tires. • Better snow handling. • Incredible performance in the cold. Our tire professionals can help you find the tires that fit your needs and budget, whether you’re looking for designated summer and winter tire combos or an all-season tire. Contact us today! -
Power Steering Service
The power steering device in your vehicle makes it so you have the ability to easily turn or maneuver your vehicle at any speed with little effort. This device is crucial when it comes to safely operating your vehicle, and the device requires flushes to function efficiently without the need for repair or replacement. How to tell if you need power steering service: • Increasingly difficult to turn or maneuver your vehicle. • Spontaneous steering assistance. • Steering wheel noises. • Squealing belts. Our technicians have the skills to promptly diagnose what is causing failure in your power steering system and determine if the system needs replacing or maintenance like a fluid flush. Contact us today! -
Battery Replacement
The battery is the heart of the electrical system in your vehicle. Acting as the mechanism that starts your vehicle and ignites the internal combustion engine that puts your vehicle into motion. Only when the vehicle is started, and the systems are supplied with the correct amount of power does the alternator step in to keep the battery charged while battery demands fluctuate. The signs your vehicle battery is dying are: • Check engine light is on. • Vehicle engine is slow to start. • Battery casing is warped. • Battery is over three years old. • Vehicle lights are dim. • Electrical issues. • Battery connectors are corroded. • Rotten egg smell is coming from underneath the hood. We have the tools and equipment to check your batter’s efficiency and replace your battery when necessary. If you need a new battery, we also offer quality batteries and ensure that your battery is professionally replaced. Trust our technicians to get the job done right. Contact us today! -
Four Wheel Drive Service
All-wheel drive vehicles are also known as 4x4s and four-wheel drive vehicles. These vehicles require a specific system, especially when used for off-roading and towing. The four-wheel drive system operates every day and will need maintenance after time. Technicians will inspect components like the locking hubs, axels, differentials, and the transfer case for leaks and wear to ensure your vehicle is safe and at optimum efficiency. Signs you need four-wheel drive service: • Vehicle cannot fluctuate between or stuck in drive modes. • Whistling axel. • Low fluid levels in the differential. • Illuminated dashboard lights. Our team of technicians has the skills and equipment to diagnose and service your four-wheel drive system, whether you need to replace or service the axel, differentials, or transfer case. Contact us today! -
Wheel Balancing
Wheel balancing is a process of distributing the weight of the tire and wheel assembly evenly when traveling at high speeds. This process required the wheel to be removed from the vehicle and placed on our wheel balancer and spun to decide where the weight should be distributed to. It’s common for a tire to become unbalanced after hitting a large pothole, curb, or if you leave your vehicle parked for extended periods of time. Signs you need wheel balancing: • Steering wheel vibration. • Vibration in the seats or floorboards. • Uneven tread wear. Our technicians efficiently remove and remount your tires professionally, which prolongs the life of your tires and makes your ride more comfortable. Contact us today! -
Cabin Air Filters
The cabin air filter seems to always be that extra add-on your mechanic asks about every time you get routine maintenance, but what does this filter do? This filter comes standard on newer vehicles and cleans the air within your cabin. Cleaner air in your vehicle’s cabin aids in a more comfortable drive, whether you have allergies, respiratory issues, or even when you don’t have medical problems. Changing out this filter will help prevent unwanted dust, pollen, or other pollutants from coming into your vehicle cabin. The signs you need a new cabin air filter are: • Intact ducts inside your vehicle are whistling. • Annoying noises when using A/C or heat. • Unpleasant odors when the air is on. • Weak or lessened airflow, whether you are not using climate control on high or not. When you need a cabin air filter replacement, we supply quality air filters, and our technicians can replace them quickly and efficiently while they finish up any maintenance you need on your vehicle. Contact us today! -
Suspension Service
The suspension is a large system that singlehandedly keeps your vehicle ride comfortable. This system is made up of springs, shock absorbers, tires, and even tire air, all of which contribute to the suspension system. This system ensures a smooth ride by absorbing the impacts from bumps in the road. A damaged suspension can lead to the loss of control over your vehicle. Signs you need suspension service: • Bumpy and uncomfortable ride. • Uneven tire treads. • Uneven vehicle body. • Unstable vehicle body. • Uneven steering. Our technicians can diagnose what part of the suspension system needs attending to, whether it’s the shocks and struts, tires, or if the wheels are out of alignment. Contact us today for all your suspension needs!
