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! -
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. We have the skills and equipment to repair or replace your exhaust system. Whether it is a muffler, catalytic converter, or tailpipe, we can diagnose and get you back on the road once more.

Fuel Filter
The duty of the fuel filter is to screen out unwanted particles that may be in with the fuel to ensure that the fuel that reaches the engine is clean and free of these harmful particles. Fuel filter replacement is regular maintenance that aids in your vehicle’s lifespan and overall efficiency. Signs you need a fuel filter replacement: • Difficulty starting your vehicle. • Components in your fuel system start failing. • Loud noises from your fuel pump. • Rough idling and misfiring. • Vehicle stalling. Our technicians can diagnose to see if you are in need of a new fuel filter. Ask about a fuel filter replacement the next time you stop in for scheduled maintenance. Contact 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! -
Cabin Air Filters
The cabin air filter seems to always be that extra add-on your mechanic asks about every time you get routine maintenance, but what does this filter do? This filter comes standard on newer vehicles and cleans the air within your cabin. Cleaner air in your vehicle’s cabin aids in a more comfortable drive, whether you have allergies, respiratory issues, or even when you don’t have medical problems. Changing out this filter will help prevent unwanted dust, pollen, or other pollutants from coming into your vehicle cabin. The signs you need a new cabin air filter are: • Intact ducts inside your vehicle are whistling. • Annoying noises when using A/C or heat. • Unpleasant odors when the air is on. • Weak or lessened airflow, whether you are not using climate control on high or not. When you need a cabin air filter replacement, we supply quality air filters, and our technicians can replace them quickly and efficiently while they finish up any maintenance you need on your vehicle.

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.

Flat Repair
Flat repair comes in handy when your tire can be fixed rather than replaced. The wheel is removed from the vehicle and plugged and adhered with a sealant, sealing the tire, then professionally placed back onto your vehicle and making it safe for you to drive once more. Signs you may need flat repair: • A tire puncture that is not in the shoulder or sidewall of the tire. • Constant loss of tire pressure. • Vehicle shaking. Not every tire can be repaired, but when it can be we have the tools and skills to ensure you will be safe on the road until you are ready for your next set of tires. 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.
