Fluid Inspection
Your vehicle has various types of fluids that circulate within it to ensure reliability, such as brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, windshield washer fluid, engine oil, and coolant/antifreeze; however, these fluids can decrease over time and get dirty. A fluid flush will remove all the unwanted fluid and replace the dirty fluid with clean fluids 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 fluids are 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.

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! -
Preventive Maintenance
Preventative maintenance has a few names from routine maintenance to factory maintenance. Preventative maintenance is a checklist of vehicle components that a technician inspects to ensure your vehicle is at optimum efficiency. A few things they check are the exhaust, brake, oil, alignment of the wheels, tires, and more. This checklist will state if a vehicle needs certain services before the season shifts, and it will help a technician inform a driver of what services are needed on their vehicle, so it remains safe and reliable to drive. Signs you need preventative maintenance: • Strange engine noises when idling. • Squealing brakes. • Check engine light or maintenance light. • Grinding noises. • Rough idling. Our technicians have an in-depth preventative maintenance list to go over your vehicle with to ensure maximum efficiency along with a set of services to keep you and your family safe for the season changes ahead.

Differential Service
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. Contact us today! -
Timing Belt Replacement
The timing belt or timing chain is a crucial part of your vehicle that keeps the internal combustion engine operating. This unit times and synchronizes engine valves to open and close with the position of the pistons at the precise time. Sings you need a new timing belt/chain: • Oil pressure is low. • Engine won’t turn over. • Ticking noises in the engine. • Hard idling. • Engine misfire. Our technicians can diagnose and replace the timing belt with a new and reliable one; we can also inspect the vehicle to make sure that is no other damage done, ensuring your vehicle is safe for the road once more. Contact us today! -
Transmission Service
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! -
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! -
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!
