Our technicians will drain the old oil from your vehicle’s engine and remove the used oil filter; they will then replace them with new oil matching your vehicle’s specifications and a new OEM oil filter.
Whether your tires just need a service such as a patch, rotation, or balance, or you need a new set of tires, we have the inventory and certified technicians to keep your tires in excellent condition.
Your vehicle will need regular brake fluid changes to keep the brakes working as they should; you should also have the brakes inspected regularly, which may show the need for services like brake pad replacement or brake fluid change.
We can test your vehicle’s battery to determine whether it’s still in good condition or whether it needs to be replaced; we can also clean any corrosion that has built up on the battery terminals and tighten the connections.
During a wheel alignment service, our technicians will inspect the camber, toe, and caster angles of your wheels and make adjustments if needed; this helps ensure that your tires wear out evenly and your drive remains safe.
Both automatic and manual transmissions need to have their fluid changed after a certain mileage; additionally, if your transmission is showing signs of trouble, you can come by for a transmission inspection or replacement.
The Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system in your vehicle keeps you cool in warm weather, warm in cold weather, and comfortable in humidity, and we can perform services to ensure that it stays at its best.
Your vehicle’s oil filter, fuel filter, and engine air filter all keep contaminants from entering the engine, and the cabin air filter prevents airborne particles from coming into your cabin; we can change all these filters when necessary.
Your vehicle has a number of fluids that need to be changed regularly, including the engine oil, automatic or manual transmission fluid, engine coolant fluid, brake fluid, and other fluids that are vital to your vehicle’s functioning.
