All Auto Services Services
auto-services
Oil Change
Drain and replacement of engine oil and oil filter using conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic oil. Includes checking fluid levels and a basic visual inspection. Full synthetic costs more but extends intervals to 7,500–10,000 miles.
auto-services
Wheel Alignment
Computer-aided adjustment of wheel angles (camber, toe, caster) to manufacturer specifications to ensure straight tracking and even tire wear. Misalignment is caused by hitting potholes, curbs, or after suspension work.
auto-services
Alternator Replacement
Removal of the failed alternator and installation of a remanufactured or new unit to restore battery charging and electrical system function. Warning signs include battery warning light, dimming lights, and dead battery.
auto-services
Timing Belt Replacement
Replacement of the rubber timing belt that synchronizes the crankshaft and camshaft rotation. Typically replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. A snapped belt can cause catastrophic engine damage in interference engines.
auto-services
Water Pump Replacement
Replacement of the engine water pump that circulates coolant through the cooling system. Often replaced simultaneously with the timing belt since both components are accessed together. Failure causes engine overheating.
auto-services
Radiator Replacement
Removal of the failed radiator and installation of a new or remanufactured unit to restore proper engine cooling. Radiators fail due to corrosion, physical damage, or plastic end-tank cracking. Overheating is the primary symptom.
auto-services
Head Gasket Repair
Removal of the cylinder head and replacement of the failed head gasket that seals the combustion chamber from coolant and oil passages. One of the most expensive engine repairs. Signs include white exhaust smoke, coolant loss, and overheating.
auto-services
CV Axle Replacement
Replacement of a damaged constant velocity (CV) axle shaft that transfers engine power to the drive wheels. A torn CV boot allows grease loss and joint failure. Clicking noise during turns is the primary warning sign.
auto-services
Auto Detailing
Thorough interior and exterior cleaning and reconditioning including hand wash, clay bar decontamination, machine polishing, wax or ceramic sealant application, vacuum, steam cleaning, and leather conditioning.
