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.

The duty of the fuel filter is to screen out unwanted particles that may be in with the fuel to ensure that the fuel that reaches the engine is clean and free of these harmful particles. Fuel filter replacement is regular maintenance that aids in your vehicle’s lifespan and overall efficiency. Signs you need a fuel filter replacement: • Difficulty starting your vehicle. • Components in your fuel system start failing. • Loud noises from your fuel pump. • Rough idling and misfiring. • Vehicle stalling. Our technicians can diagnose to see if you are in need of a new fuel filter. Ask about a fuel filter replacement the next time you stop in for scheduled maintenance. Contact us today!

There are two important types of belts in your vehicle, which are your timing belt and serpentine belts. Timing belts are vital for your engine to start and function as it transfers the power from the camshaft to power the crankshaft; if this belt were to break, your engine would immediately stop working. Serpentine belts are often called drive belts and power different components within your vehicle like the radiator, power steering pump, A/C compressor, alternator, and more. Hoses play another vital part in your vehicle’s efficiency. Types of hoses are fuel hoses, brake hoses, coolant/radiator hoses, power steering hoses, and heater hoses. Hoses are essential for transferring coolant and other fluids through your vehicle to prevent things like overheating, power loss, poor braking ability, and more. The signs you need a belt replacement are: • The engine is steaming. • A/C failure. • The feeling of something catching, vibrating, or slipping while driving. • Check engine lights or other dashboard lights turn on. • Leaks from your vehicle like brake fluid, coolant, fuel, etc. We have the tools and equipment to find any fluid leaks or significant belt wear and tear as well as diagnose if you have any hoses or belts that need replacing. Trust our technicians to get the job done right. Contact us today!

The transmission is the vehicle’s brain and is a giant gearbox that determines how your vehicle shifts. The transmission transforms the combustion created by the engine and morphs it into real power. Regular maintenance of the transmission is necessary to sustain the life of the transmission and your vehicle. Servicing a transmission is similar to servicing the engine, with an oil and fluid change, inspecting panels, replacing or cleaning the filter, and more. Signs you need transmission service: • Leaking transmission fluid. • Strange transmission odor. • Check engine or transmission light. • Poor acceleration. • Harsh idling. • Poor shifting. • Slipping. Our technicians have the tools and skills to efficiently inspect and service the transmission. Contact us today for transmission 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!

Wiper blades are a crucial factor in your ability to see the road by swiping rain from the windshield and using windshield fluid to clean your windshield from dust, bugs, and other small debris.

Signs you need new windshield wipers: • Streaks when in use. • Missing/uneven rubber on the wiper blade. • Smudging even after cleaning. Our technicians can provide insight into the best wipers that fit your needs and can tell you how much more life your wipers have. Contact us today!

The lights on your vehicle are extremely important, whether it’s illuminating the road for you at night, making your vehicle more visible in the fog, informing someone behind you that you are stopping, taking a turn, or going in reverse. Your lights are important to the safety of others and yourself while driving, and it’s important to ensure all of them are in working order. Signs you need a light replacement: • Faster turn signal clicking. • Dimming bulb. • Requirement to use high beams all the time. When you’re in need of a headlight, taillight, or other vehicle lightbulb replacement stop into our shop; our technicians can quickly diagnose what light is out and replace your bulb with a brand new one.

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.
