FAQ

How do I know if my brakes need to be replaced?

If you hear grinding or squealing noises when braking, experience pulsation or vibration while braking, or notice the brake pedal feels spongy, it may be time for a brake inspection.

HOW DO I MAKE SURE MY CAR BATTERY HAS A GOOD ELECTRICAL CONNECTION?

Battery cables and terminals should be cleaned and inspected periodically to make sure they provide a good electrical connection.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I ROTATE MY TIRES?

Your tires should be rotated every other oil change, or every 6000 miles. Neglecting to rotate tires is a major cause of premature tire wear.

WHY IS ENGINE OIL MILKY BROWN?

Milky brown engine oil is an indication of coolant in the oil. This can be caused by a blown head gasket (or other gasket), a failed transmission cooler, or cracked casings. This condition is very serious and needs to be checked by a professional technician immediately.

IS IT REALLY NECESSARY TO REPLACE MY TIMING BELT AT THE RECOMMENDED INTERVAL?

YES. The failure of a timing belt in many cars can result in major engine damage. The cost of repairing an engine with a broken timing belt is much greater than the cost of a timing belt replacement.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF MY "CHECK ENGINE" OR "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT COMES ON?

There are many sensors and computerized components that manage your vehicle's engine performance and emissions. The check engine light can indicate various issues, ranging from a loose gas cap to a more serious engine problem. Our diagnostic services can help pinpoint the exact issue.

When one of these fails, the "check engine" light is illuminated. Although your car may seem to run fine, it is important to have the issue addressed to prevent long-term problems.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY CAR STARTS TO OVERHEAT?

This is a very serious problem - if your car overheats for too long, you can damage your engine. As soon as possible, find a safe place to pull off the road and shut the engine off! Do not attempt to check the fluid level in the radiator; the hot fluid can cause severe burns. The best thing to do is have your car towed to the nearest, trusted auto repair facility.

What can I do to improve my fuel efficiency?

Regular maintenance, such as timely oil changes, proper tire inflation, and air filter replacements, can significantly improve your vehicle's fuel efficiency.
