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.

Cost data available

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.

Cost data available

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.

Cost data available

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.

Cost data available

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.

Cost data available

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.
