Timing Belt Service
Having your timing belt replaced when needed is important to prevent complete engine failure, and therefore expensive repairs. Warning signs that your timing belt is failing include rough idling, difficulty starting your engine, and cracks on the belt.
Along with replacing your timing belt, it is recommended to have a water pump replacement as well because it can do significant damage if it fails later and is easy to change during a timing belt replacement. You may refer to your vehicle's manual to help determine the service interval for timing belt service or simply give us a call and our technicians will gladly help you.
Oil Change
An oil change and filter replacement is one of many preventative maintenance services that help promote optimal vehicle performance and extends the life of your vehicle. During an oil change, we will:
-
Drain the dirty oil from your engine
-
Replace your engine’s old oil with new oil
-
Replace the oil filter
Changing your oil at the appropriate intervals is important to keeping your engine running smoothly. Contact us today to schedule your next oil change.
Brake Service
Brake maintenance is important to ensure safe driving conditions at all times. Determining when to seek a brake inspection will depend on your every day driving conditions. The goal of our brake inspection is to diagnose and discuss any issues and recommend any necessary brake repairs. During a brake inspection, we may find that your brakes need new brake pads, brake shoes, or brake rotors. Alternatively, we may need to drain and replace your old brake fluid. Contact us today to determine what service your brakes need.
