Engine Air Filter

We have the skills to check and inform you of your engine air filter’s performance and inform you if the unit needs to be replaced.

Check Engine Light Service
Your dashboard is the way your vehicle communicates with you, from informing you that needing more windshield wiper fluid to low fuel; however, some lights may not be as straightforward as the others. Your check engine light, also known as the service light, tells you when something may be or is wrong with your vehicle. If this light is flashing, immediate attention is needed. The signs you need diagnostics are: • Service light continuously stays on. • Service light is flashing. • Abnormal vehicle sounds when the service light is on. Our technicians can perform a full diagnosis of your service light and come up with a plan to have the issue taken care of and the code reset and removed.

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.

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! -
Winter Tires
When it comes to the harsh winter season, the type of tires you have on your vehicle is important, especially where you drive. Winter tires are specifically engineered to have the best traction in the cold and are branded with a mountain accompanied by a snowflake. This symbol means the tire complies with severe snow standards. There are some all-weather tires that also are branded with the mountain and snowflake tamp as well. Why buy winter tires: • Prolonged life between summer and winter tires. • Better snow handling. • Incredible performance in the cold. Our tire professionals can help you find the tires that fit your needs and budget, whether you’re looking for designated summer and winter tire combos or an all-season tire. Contact us today! -

"Unbelievable, They took my car right in and changed out my headlights in less than 15 minutes. Considering you have to take the tires off and pull the wheel wells down to get at them, amazing. Also want to mention that I had no appointment and just moments before was referred to him by Mark at Autozone. My thanks to you"

Took less than 5 hours in total. The Explorer is running as it was prior to the repair. Excellent service and experience."
