Differential Service
The differential is a crucial part of a vehicle’s drivetrain that divides the torque of the engine between the wheels, giving them the ability to turn at different rates when necessary. This system is initiated when turning corners. Differentials differ depending on the drivetrain — for instance, the differential is on the rear axle on a standard rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the differential is on the front transaxle on a front-wheel-drive vehicle, and finally, there are two differentials for all-wheel-drive vehicles — on both the front-end and rear-end axles. Signs you need differential service: • Whistling noises. • Vibrations. • Gear grinding. • Rubbing or clunking noise. • Sluggish performance. We have the skills and equipment to service the differential, whether you need a full replacement, or a partial rebuild like side and pinion seals or gasket, gear, or bearing replacements. Contact us today! -
Four Wheel Drive Service
All-wheel drive vehicles are also known as 4x4s and four-wheel drive vehicles. These vehicles require a specific system, especially when used for off-roading and towing. The four-wheel drive system operates every day and will need maintenance after time. Technicians will inspect components like the locking hubs, axels, differentials, and the transfer case for leaks and wear to ensure your vehicle is safe and at optimum efficiency. Signs you need four-wheel drive service: • Vehicle cannot fluctuate between or stuck in drive modes. • Whistling axel. • Low fluid levels in the differential. • Illuminated dashboard lights. Our team of technicians has the skills and equipment to diagnose and service your four-wheel drive system, whether you need to replace or service the axel, differentials, or transfer case. Contact us today! -
Cooling System Repair
The cooling system, often confused with the A/C unit, is the mechanism that cools your engine, keeping it functional. Your cooling system consists of the radiator, water pump, hoses, thermostat, cooling fan, and of course cooling fluids like the antifreeze/coolant. If this system is failing, the heat your engine takes in will become overwhelming, resulting in engine failure. The signs your cooling system needs service are: • Coolant/antifreeze leaks. • Excessive white smoke expelling from your exhaust. • Vehicle overheating. • Dashboard temperature gauge is redlining. • Low coolant levels. Our technicians have the tools and equipment to diagnose and fix your cooling system problems, whether it’s a leak, a fan, a hose, or a water pump issue. Contact us today! -
Suspension Service
The suspension is a large system that singlehandedly keeps your vehicle ride comfortable. This system is made up of springs, shock absorbers, tires, and even tire air, all of which contribute to the suspension system. This system ensures a smooth ride by absorbing the impacts from bumps in the road. A damaged suspension can lead to the loss of control over your vehicle. Signs you need suspension service: • Bumpy and uncomfortable ride. • Uneven tire treads. • Uneven vehicle body. • Unstable vehicle body. • Uneven steering. Our technicians can diagnose what part of the suspension system needs attending to, whether it’s the shocks and struts, tires, or if the wheels are out of alignment. Contact us today for all your suspension needs! -
Drive Train Service
The drivetrain is a component that delivers power to your vehicle, transferring energy to the wheels while the differential allows wheels on the same axel to spin at different speeds. Other components of the drivetrain are the transmission, CV joint, U-join, differential, driveshaft, and axel shafts. There are four types of drivetrains, front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), all-wheel drive (AWD), and four-wheel drive (4WD). Signs you need drivetrain service: • Shifting problems. • Check engine light. • Vibrations. • Unusual noises. • Fluid leaks. We have the skills and equipment to diagnose and fix the problem when it comes to a large system like the drivetrain. Whether you need replacements, repairs, or diagnostics — for quality and reliable service, call us today! -
Vehicle Tune Ups
A tune-up is a maintenance service that inspects and replaces the components of the combustion process like spark plugs, wires, or coils. It also inspects filters, fluids, belts, and hoses — giving you insight into any potential small issues that can build in bigger problems. Signs you need a tune-up: • Engine stutter. • Harsh idling. • Maintenance or dashboard lights. • Strange engine noises. • Diminishing fuel economy. Our technicians have the skills and tools to efficiently inspect and replace components during the tune-up process, keeping your vehicle safe and ready for the road. For more maintenance options, contact us today! -
Radiator Service
The vehicle radiator is a component that helps remove extra heat from the engine as part of the vehicle’s cooling system. The cooling system works together to push the heat out of the vent known as the radiator to prevent overheating; overheating can cause extreme damage to your vehicle. Signs your radiator needs service. • Vehicle overheating. • Radiator sludge. • Low coolant levels. • Coolant leaks. Our technicians have the skills and equipment to diagnose if your radiator needs patching or replacing to help avoid any overheating damage to your vehicle. Regular maintenance of the cooling system can catch radiator issues before they cause larger problems. Contact us today! -
PCV Valve
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve is a one-way street to your vehicle’s crankcase. The crankcase is what holds the motor oil at the bottom of a vehicle’s engine. When your vehicle is burning fuel, it will create gases and — before emissions — the exhaust system releases these gases. How to tell if you need a PCV Valve Replacement? • Oil leaks. • Whistling from the engine. • Sludge around the engine. • Blown out seals or gaskets. • Check engine light illuminated. Our technicians have the skills and equipment to replace the PCV valve, returning your vehicle to optimum efficiency once more. Contact us today!
