The transmission is the vehicle’s brain and is a giant gearbox that determines how your vehicle shifts. The transmission transforms the combustion created by the engine and morphs it into real power. Regular maintenance of the transmission is necessary to sustain the life of the transmission and your vehicle. Servicing a transmission is similar to servicing the engine, with an oil and fluid change, inspecting panels, replacing or cleaning the filter, and more. Signs you need transmission service: • Leaking transmission fluid. • Strange transmission odor. • Check engine or transmission light. • Poor acceleration. • Harsh idling. • Poor shifting. • Slipping. Our technicians have the tools and skills to efficiently inspect and service the transmission. Contact us today for transmission service!

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve is a one-way street to your vehicle’s crankcase. The crankcase is what holds the motor oil at the bottom of a vehicle’s engine. When your vehicle is burning fuel, it will create gases and — before emissions — the exhaust system releases these gases. How to tell if you need a PCV Valve Replacement? • Oil leaks. • Whistling from the engine. • Sludge around the engine. • Blown out seals or gaskets. • Check engine light illuminated. Our technicians have the skills and equipment to replace the PCV valve, returning your vehicle to optimum efficiency once more. Contact us today!

The differential is a crucial part of a vehicle’s drivetrain that divides the torque of the engine between the wheels, giving them the ability to turn at different rates when necessary. This system is initiated when turning corners. Differentials differ depending on the drivetrain — for instance, the differential is on the rear axle on a standard rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the differential is on the front transaxle on a front-wheel-drive vehicle, and finally, there are two differentials for all-wheel-drive vehicles — on both the front-end and rear-end axles. Signs you need differential service: • Whistling noises. • Vibrations. • Gear grinding. • Rubbing or clunking noise. • Sluggish performance. We have the skills and equipment to service the differential, whether you need a full replacement, or a partial rebuild like side and pinion seals or gasket, gear, or bearing replacements.

The lights on your vehicle are extremely important, whether it’s illuminating the road for you at night, making your vehicle more visible in the fog, informing someone behind you that you are stopping, taking a turn, or going in reverse. Your lights are important to the safety of others and yourself while driving, and it’s important to ensure all of them are in working order. Signs you need a light replacement: • Faster turn signal clicking. • Dimming bulb. • Requirement to use high beams all the time. When you’re in need of a headlight, taillight, or other vehicle lightbulb replacement stop into our shop; our technicians can quickly diagnose what light is out and replace your bulb with a brand new one.

The serpentine is a long belt that mobilizes and delivers power to components in the engine like the alternator, water pump, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, and air pump. These belts on average can last between 50,000–100,000 miles but can depend on the vehicle, conditions, and the amount you drive. Having this belt inspected during maintenance check-ups can prevent more serious problems. Signs your serpentine belt needs replacing: • Strained or tight steering. • The physical belt is cracked. • Vehicle overheating. • High pitch squealing sounds from the engine. • Air conditioning is not working. Our technicians have the skills and tools to replace and secure your new serpentine belt and make sure further damage was not done. Contact us today!

The water pump is a crucial part of the cooling system of your vehicle; it delivers coolant between the radiator and the engine, which prevents your vehicle from overheating. Regular maintenance to ensure fluid levels are maintained and no leaks are found will keep your vehicle from harsh repairs in the future. Signs your water pump needs service: • Overheating. • Coolant leaks. • Strange noises from the engine compartment. • Strange odors inside the vehicle. Our technicians have the skills and tools to diagnose if your water pump needs repair or replacing, we also provide inspections to see any potential issues during maintenance service. Contact us today!

The air conditioning unit is a combination of various components that work together to keep you cool even on the hottest of days. It is important to get regular maintenance and inspections to ensure optimal efficiency. The signs your air conditioning needs service are: • Vents are blowing warm air even on a cool setting. • Vent settings are not adjusting correctly. • The inside of the vehicle is only slightly cooler than the outside. • Strange sounds are coming from your A/C unit. We have the tools and equipment to check any efficiency or component problems like refrigerant leaks, fan issues, compressor problems, A/C clutch replacements, and more. Trust our technicians to get the job done right. Contact us today!

Emissions control is the reduction of air pollutants emitted by vehicles. Some states require a state emissions test to regulate pollution levels from vehicles. These state-mandated inspections are regulated by government guidelines to ensure air safety in their communities and contribute to cleaner breathing conditions. What we do: • Inspect the vehicle emissions ensuring it stands within state regulations. • Provide service options to pass state emissions. Our technicians can repair and inspect emissions from your vehicle. We abide by the guidelines set in our inspection standards, which determine if your vehicle is fit for the road.
