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.

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! -
Shocks and Struts
Shocks and struts are the main components of the suspension system that stabilizes the vehicle when on uneven surfaces and keep your tires on the tires on the road, whether you’re turning, braking, or accelerating. Shocks absorb the bounce, which keeps your ride more comfortable on those bumpy roads. Signs of worn shocks and struts: • The vehicle is not level. • Tire bouncing. • Unstable highway handling. • Vehicle squatting. • Strange tire wear. • Fluid leaks near the shock and strut areas. Our technicians can efficiently remove and replace your old shocks and struts with quality and reliable new ones — returning your vehicle to a more stable and comfortable ride once more.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
The TPMS monitors your tire pressure in real-time to always report if your tires are ready for the road or low on pressure. This system consists of a sensor that can connect to dashboard lights that illuminate when there are potentially unsafe driving conditions. Having your sensor replaced when getting new tires is not required but often helps sustain the life of the TPMS. Signs your TPMS is going out: • Misreading tie pressure. • Malfunctioning. • Loss of fuel economy. • Tire pressure light with proper tire pressure. Our technicians can diagnose to see if the TPMS sensor is going out or if it’s another electrical component that is affecting it. We can replace the sensor or the entire system. Contact us today! -
Serpentine Belt
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! -
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.

Exhaust Service
The exhaust system on your vehicle is more than just the tailpipe and muffler. This system gathers gasses from cylinders, removes harmful substances, reduces noise levels, and releases cleaner gasses through the exhaust pipes. These components synchronize their jobs with precision for the system to work and enhance or sustain the vehicle’s performance. Signs you need exhaust service • Annoying and irritating odors inside your vehicle. • Loss of fuel efficiency. • Strange vibrations while driving. • Illuminated check engine light. • Louder noise from both the engine and exhaust.
