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.

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.

Winter Tires
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! -
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.

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! -
Vehicle Tune Ups
A tune-up is a maintenance service that inspects and replaces the components of the combustion process like spark plugs, wires, or coils. It also inspects filters, fluids, belts, and hoses — giving you insight into any potential small issues that can build in bigger problems. Signs you need a tune-up: • Engine stutter. • Harsh idling. • Maintenance or dashboard lights. • Strange engine noises. • Diminishing fuel economy. Our technicians have the skills and tools to efficiently inspect and replace components during the tune-up process, keeping your vehicle safe and ready for the road. For more maintenance options, contact us today! -
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!
