Additional Recommended Services
Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment is part of standard automobile maintenance that consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the manufacturer's specification. The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tire wear, and to ensure that vehicle travel is straight and true (without "pulling" to one side).
Wheel balancing provides a smoother ride by minimizing tire bounce. This helps improve traction, steering control and extends the life of the tires.
Cooling System Flush
Coolant, like all the other fluids used by your vehicle, has a tendency to break down over time. When the coolant breaks down it is depleted of buffering ingredients and becomes extremely corrosive, literally eating holes in cooling system components.
Power Steering Fluid Exchange
The power steering pump produces high pressure, between 800-2000 pounds, with high heat. This leads to fluid breakdown and failure. Symptoms include groaning and whining noises, erratic steering, and pump leaks. (Service not available for vehicles with remote reservoir)
Fuel Injection Service
Deposits accumulate on intake valves, injectors, ports, fuel injectors and combustion chambers causing loss of power, rough idle, hesitation, misfire, pinging, knocking, mileage and hard starting.
Transmission Fluid Exchange
After 30,000 miles, transmission fluid begins to show its age as it turns brown in color and oxidizes due to the combination of time and heat. Deposits begin to form around the transmission's many moving parts, resulting in valves that stick and gears that slip or are sluggish and chatter as they shift.
Brake Fluid Exchange
Brake fluid becomes oxidized and contaminated over time and use. Heat and moisture cause corrosion on parts and brake fluid failure. This causes a spongy brake pedal and shows up in discolored brake fluid.
Battery Service
Over time corrosion accumulates on the battery posts and terminals to the degree that this build-up begins to drain power from the battery. That's one of the reasons battery failure is the #1 culprit for calls made requesting roadside assistance.
