Brakes
Not sure if it’s time to have your brakes repaired? Give us a call any time to set up an inspection, or ask us to take a look at your brakes the next time you are in for maintenance. The average driver will need new brake pads every 50,000 miles, but there are many contributing factors to the frequency of replacement. If you brake hard, drive in stop and go traffic, drive long distances, or on rural roads you may need more frequent brake services. If your vehicle is new to you and you aren’t sure the last time the brakes were replaced or simply can’t recall the last time they were checked, we would be happy to inspect! If your brakes are squealing, pulsing when you brake, or it takes longer to brake than it used to Contact Us ASAP!
Oil Changes
If you have checked your dipstick and see that you still have plenty of oil left, then you might be wondering why you can’t just top it off and keep driving? While you may still have plenty of oil left, the oil is dirty and needs to be drained and replaced. This will keep your engine properly lubricated and fully optimized.
- Overtime the buildup of dirt and debris that make their way into your engine when you drive will make your oil thick and sludgy.
- The thicker your oil the less lubrication it provides, and the more friction. This will wear your engine and reduce your fuel efficiency.

Transmission Repair
We urge all our customers to take a proactive approach to their car care. The best way to do this is to stay up-to-date with your factory-scheduled maintenance. While preventative vehicle maintenance won’t guarantee that you will never have a transmission issue or major repair need, it drastically reduces the likelihood. In between your scheduled maintenance it is important to keep an eye out for any changes in performance, fuel efficiency, sounds, smells, or something that just doesn’t feel right. When it comes to your vehicle transmission keep your eye out for:
- Leaking Fluid
- Jammed Clutch
- Difficulty Shifting Gears
- Burning Smell
- Strange Noises
- Grinding Or Shaking
- Transmission Warning Light Activates
Wheel Alignment
Your steering wheel controls the alignment components that keep your vehicle balanced and your suspension properly aligned. However, accidents and uneven driving conditions can throw your alignment off—meaning that your vehicle will not steer with the ease or precision you require. There are a few ways you can tell if your alignment is off.
- Visually inspect your tires to ensure that they are wearing evenly. Be sure to check both the inner and outer tread. While alignment is not the only cause for uneven wear, it’s a sign that you need a professional inspection.
- If you have noticed that your steering has drastically changed, if your steering wheel is no longer center when you drive straight, or it takes longer to turn in either direction—it is likely your alignment. These can all happen gradually so be mindful of any changes.
- If your fuel efficiency has decreased it is a sign that something is awry. There are many possibilities, one of which is misalignment.
