Lift Kits
These specialized kits are a modification to increase the distance between your vehicle and the road, whether you’re doing it for aesthetics or off-roading. A lift kit raises the body of the vehicle to increase the separation of a vehicle’s body and axel. This modification is most common in trucks and SUVs. What to check before lifting your vehicle: • State laws and regulations. • Garage height. • Insurance policies. • Vehicle warranties. Our technicians have the skills, tools, and equipment to professionally install the modification, which saves you time. Contact us today for more information and kit options! -
Engine Air Filter
The engine air filter is located at the front of the engine compartment and its function is to trap outside debris like bugs, dirt, and sand before it ends up in the engine, allowing only clean air into the heart of your vehicle. Signs you need a new engine air filter: • Low horsepower. • Sooty, black smoke emitting from the exhaust pipe. • Smell of fuel when starting your vehicle. • Physical filter looks dirty. • Check Engine Light is on. We have the skills to check and inform you of your engine air filter’s performance and inform you if the unit needs to be replaced. For an engine air filter replacement with your next scheduled maintenance, call us today! -
Oil Changes
An oil change is a process that removes old oil and replaces it with new clean oil, and the oil filter is also replaced. This process is crucial to your vehicle’s lifespan, as components in your vehicle’s engine are constantly moving, and with dirty oil and low oil, these components can run rougher or entirely break down. How to tell if you need an oil change: • Mileage. • Dirty and dark oil. • Oil odor inside the vehicle. • High travel mileage. • Oil light or maintenance lights are on. Our technicians have the skills and equipment to change your oil and filter efficiently and reliably. Contact us today! -
Belts and Hoses Service
There are two important types of belts in your vehicle, which are your timing belt and serpentine belts. Timing belts are vital for your engine to start and function as it transfers the power from the camshaft to power the crankshaft; if this belt were to break, your engine would immediately stop working. Serpentine belts are often called drive belts and power different components within your vehicle like the radiator, power steering pump, A/C compressor, alternator, and more. Hoses play another vital part in your vehicle’s efficiency. Types of hoses are fuel hoses, brake hoses, coolant/radiator hoses, power steering hoses, and heater hoses. Hoses are essential for transferring coolant and other fluids through your vehicle to prevent things like overheating, power loss, poor braking ability, and more. The signs you need a belt replacement are: • The engine is steaming. • A/C failure. • The feeling of something catching, vibrating, or slipping while driving. • Check engine lights or other dashboard lights turn on. • Leaks from your vehicle like brake fluid, coolant, fuel, etc. We have the tools and equipment to find any fluid leaks or significant belt wear and tear as well as diagnose if you have any hoses or belts that need replacing. Trust our technicians to get the job done right. Contact us today! -
Check Engine Light Service
Your dashboard is the way your vehicle communicates with you, from informing you that needing more windshield wiper fluid to low fuel; however, some lights may not be as straightforward as the others. Your check engine light, also known as the service light, tells you when something may be or is wrong with your vehicle. If this light is flashing, immediate attention is needed. The signs you need diagnostics are: • Service light continuously stays on. • Service light is flashing. • Abnormal vehicle sounds when the service light is on. Our technicians can perform a full diagnosis of your service light and come up with a plan to have the issue taken care of and the code reset and removed. For a complete service light diagnostic solution, contact us today! -
Wheel Alignments
Your vehicle’s wheel alignment ensures that your tires connect with the road at precise angles that your steering wheel is pointed to, it’s also directly tied to your vehicle’s suspension system. If your alignment is off, your vehicle can pull from one side or another when your steering wheel is set straight. This service adjusts the suspension to properly align your suspension resulting is safer and more comfortable driving conditions. Signs you need an alignment: • Vehicle pulling to one side or the other. • Uneven tire wear. • Fast tire wear on individual tires. • Squealing tires. • Crooked steering wheel. Our technicians can efficiently align your vehicle with our state-of-the-art alignment machine and offer suspension inspection to ensure a more comfortable ride. Contact us today! -
Radiator Service
The vehicle radiator is a component that helps remove extra heat from the engine as part of the vehicle’s cooling system. The cooling system works together to push the heat out of the vent known as the radiator to prevent overheating; overheating can cause extreme damage to your vehicle. Signs your radiator needs service. • Vehicle overheating. • Radiator sludge. • Low coolant levels. • Coolant leaks. Our technicians have the skills and equipment to diagnose if your radiator needs patching or replacing to help avoid any overheating damage to your vehicle. Regular maintenance of the cooling system can catch radiator issues before they cause larger problems. 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.
