Common Vehicle Maintenance Services We Provide
Oil Changes & Filter Service
Regular oil changes are the most important maintenance service for engine longevity. We use the correct oil type and viscosity for your vehicle, replace the oil filter, and check fluid levels during every oil change service.
Fluid Services
We service all vehicle fluids including transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, and differential fluid. Proper fluid maintenance prevents wear, overheating, and costly component failures.
Brake Inspection & Service
Regular brake inspections ensure your stopping power is reliable. We measure pad thickness, inspect rotors, check brake fluid, and recommend service before you experience brake problems or safety issues.
Tire Rotation & Inspection
Regular tire rotation promotes even wear and extends tire life. We inspect tread depth, tire condition, and air pressure during every rotation, and recommend replacement when tires approach wear limits.
Belt & Hose Inspection
Serpentine belts, timing belts, and cooling hoses deteriorate over time. We inspect these components during maintenance visits and recommend replacement before failure leaves you stranded or causes engine damage.
Battery Testing & Service
We test battery condition and charging system performance to prevent unexpected failures. Battery terminals are cleaned and connections inspected. We recommend replacement when testing indicates declining performance.
