- Oil ChangeShort drives and infrequent oil changes are two factors that lead to formation of sludge in an engine. This gelling of the oil can cause premature engine failure. Oil change intervals depend on the type of driving done. If most of the driving is open highway with little stop and go the interval could be 5000-7500 miles. But if the driving done is short trips and or stop and go, the oil should be changed every 3000 miles or 6 months whichever comes first. Some vehicles use a monitoring program that lets the computer say when to change the oil.

- Alternator RepairThe battery is the lifeblood of your vehicle. It is responsible for starting your car and running many of the accessories on the vehicle. The battery must endure temperature extremes and still be able to perform. The natural venting of fumes from the battery will cause corrosion on the battery terminals. This must be periodically cleaned. The alternator is responsible for operating all the electrical accessories while the engine is running. Everything from the turn signals to the engine computer to the fuel pump is powered by the battery and alternator. The alternator also recharges the battery after it is used to start the engine. Electrical system problems can be slight or major. We sell batteries and offer electrical system repairs and alternator replacement using quality parts.
- Emissions Inspection
- Timing Belt/Chain ReplacementMany of today’s engines utilize a timing belt. If this belt breaks, serious engine damage could occur. This is why the vehicle manufacturer will specify certain intervals at which this belt should be replaced. The mileage will vary from 60,000 to 90,000 miles with some recommending replacement at 105,000 miles. We recommend timing belt replacement at 50,000 to 90,000 miles or your manufacturer’s specified interval, whichever is less.
- Fuel Injection Service/RepairEven through normal operation, your engine will accumulate deposits inside the manifold and injectors. This carbon buildup can rob your engine of power and, in some cases, will even cause your car to run rough. By regularly cleaning the injectors and fuel system of these harmful deposits, you will maintain smooth operation, higher fuel mileage and cleaner emissions.
- Transmission ServiceThis service hooks into the cooler lines and completely exchanges the transmission fluid, thereby replacing 100% of the fluid.
