- Engine RepairHowever, no matter how simple or complicated an issue is, overheating is a serious problem. A five-dollar thermostat isn’t a big deal. However, if you ignore the problem and allow the engine to get hot enough or let it stay hot for too long, you’ll be looking at a new engine or serious engine work very soon. Never push your luck if your car is running hotter than normal. Keep an eye on your gauge if your warning light comes on pull over and shut the car down immediately if the temperature rises too high. It is always best to call us here at the shop if you have a question so we can let you know how serious it is if you are concerned. If you ever have fluids leaking out or see steam rising from the hood immediately stop the vehicle and get help as that is a large indicator of a serious issue that needs a resolution now and not later.

These problems almost always worsen rapidly and do constant damage while the engine is running or the car is driving. Don’t take a chance on destroying your vehicle’s engine or transmission by trying to drive it - let us move it for you. The same goes for steering and suspension issues; if the problem is bad enough, driving your car could cause something to break. This instantly jeopardizes the safety of you in your car, and anyone else involved on the road.

- Air Conditioning Service/RepairYour heat and A/C system are complicated, to say the least, requiring the right tools, and constant training to keep up-to-date on the new information and diagnostic tools required to take care of your specific system. Our technicians at Champion Auto Truck Fleet have experience on all makes and models and can quickly find and solve any issue you might have with your heat and A/C system should it be due to an issue with your compressors, high-pressure lines, special gasses, condensers, actuators, electronic and vacuum signals, or multiple other aspects of your car or truck. Your air conditioning system has to work in harmony to effectively cool your vehicle infrastructure and when needed heat the inside of your vehicle for your comfort. The longer an A/C system remains broken the more problems it will develop, so it’s a good idea to have it serviced regularly.
- Radiator Service/RepairAt Champion Auto Truck Fleet we will help you prevent the need for any future radiator repairs by providing maintenance. By far, the most important aspect of radiator maintenance is coolant servicing. By having the coolant flushed as recommended by our technicians, you prevent debris from clogging or damaging passageways in the radiator, and ensure the cooling system is up to the task of keeping your engine cool. Since overheating and debris are two of the main causes of radiator failure, a coolant flush goes a long way.
- Radiator FlushWe have found that the heating systems are generally far more reliable than A/C since they primarily operate on circulating engine coolant. However, if you’re having heating issues, the consequences are usually far greater if neglected. Lack of defrosting and defogging ability is not just inconvenient but also extremely unsafe. A clogged heater core can cause engine overheating, and a failed heater core will leak coolant into your vehicle, damaging other components. If your heater is misbehaving, have it inspected immediately. Often a simple coolant flush will correct the issue if we can catch it quickly.

- Tire RotationPre-Departure Maintenance Going out RVing is a vacation and an adventure rolled into one so before going out, make an appointment to have your RV serviced. This usually includes tire rotation, an oil change if necessary and an overall inspection of the vehicle for potential problems.
- Wheel AlignmentWhen your car, truck or SUV begins to shake, vibrate or pull to either side while driving it typically means it's time to bring it into our shop here at Champion Auto Truck Fleet in Dayton, for an alignment! Doing so early will save serious wear and tear on tires and it is an easy fix when we catch it early. But what exactly is a tire alignment and why is it important?
- Tire ServiceTires Periodic inspection and maintenance of your RV and trailer tires and wheels are essential to towing safety, including spare tires. Proper tire pressure affects vehicle handling and the safety of your tires. You can find the correct tire pressure for your RV or motorhome in the owner’s manual or on the tire information placard.
- Tire Balancing- When you are driving on a smooth road and your steering wheel is vibrating or shaking we have a problem which could be an alignment or it could be a tire balance problem.
- Brake ServiceYour brake system is comprised of a long list of parts and all of them are under a great deal of stress much of which depends on how you drive as each of us is very different in that regard. Some of us are more aggressive than others in both starting and stopping our vehicles, we tend to "ride our brakes" and you may carry heavy loads or pull a trailer which will also impact the life of your brakes. The important aspect of your brakes and what their expected life span is that you are absolutely certain that they are working at 100% when you call on them to stop your vehicle at any given time. The task of stopping a car, truck, or SUV which weighs thousands of pounds is certainly not easy and the last thing anyone wants is to find out their brakes have failed catastrophically. When our team here at Champion Auto Truck Fleet goes in to do a full service or repair of your brakes we take it seriously and check the entire system for you taking into consideration multiple factors!

In addition to all the systems of a regular combustion vehicle, hybrids have a sophisticated electronics system to ensure efficient operation of charging and battery power displacement, including separate batteries, electric motors, and monitoring systems. The main difference is the battery system and servicing that the system takes special training and diagnostic equipment like our technicians have here at Champion Auto Truck Fleet.
