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! -
State Emissions Testing
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. Contact us today for more information on emission services! -
Wiper Blades
Wiper blades are a crucial factor in your ability to see the road by swiping rain from the windshield and using windshield fluid to clean your windshield from dust, bugs, and other small debris. It’s best to replace your wiper blades at least two times a year, as the seasons harshly change. We provide a selection of windshield wipers and can install them professionally. Signs you need new windshield wipers: • Streaks when in use. • Missing/uneven rubber on the wiper blade. • Smudging even after cleaning. Our technicians can provide insight into the best wipers that fit your needs and can tell you how much more life your wipers have. Contact us today! -
Coolant and Antifreeze Service
Your cooling system has a fluid that circulates within it to ensure its reliability, this is coolant/antifreeze. However, this fluid's effectiveness can decrease over time and get dirty. A fluid flush will remove all the unwanted fluid and replace the dirty fluid with clean fluid for better vehicle performance. Signs you need a fluid inspection: • Colored fluid leaking from your vehicle. • Illuminated dashboard lights. • Strange odors from your vehicle while on or off. Our team has the skills to check and ensure your vehicle coolent is clean and at the right level, as well as inspect if your fluid lines are intact or need to be replaced and then flush them when they are dirty. 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! -
Fuel Injectors
Fuel injectors replaced old carburetor systems to ensure the vehicle’s efficiency and to reduce air pollution. Fuel injectors spray fuel into a vehicle’s engine using valves that open and close, which is evenly repeated multiple times a second for prime combustion and efficiency. Signs your fuel injectors need replacing: • Vehicle misfiring. • Vibrating engine. • Rough idling. • Vehicle stalling. • Reduced fuel economy. • Illuminated dashboard lights. Our technicians can diagnose what fuel injector needs replacing and see if any more injectors are going out. Ask your technicians about your fuel injectors the next time you schedule maintenance. Contact us today! -
PCV Valve
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! -
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.
