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!

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!

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 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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
