FAQs

The frequency of oil changes depends on several factors including your vehicle type, driving conditions, and the oil type used. It's best to follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.

For most vehicles, tire rotation is recommended every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. This practice promotes even tire wear, enhances performance, and extends tire life. If you're unsure about the right rotation schedule for your vehicle or notice unusual wear patterns, consult with one of our technicians for personalized advice.

Wheel alignment should be performed after installing new tires, every 6,000 to 12,000 miles, or if you've hit a significant obstacle like a pothole or curb. It's also advisable if you notice uneven tire wear or after suspension repairs. Proper alignment improves handling, steering response, and fuel efficiency.

Air filter replacement intervals vary based on filter type and driving conditions. Generally, we recommend replacing them every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or at least annually. Regular replacement maintains engine performance and fuel efficiency. If you're unsure about your air filters' condition, we can inspect them during your next service visit.

For optimal visibility and safety, especially during inclement weather, we recommend replacing your wiper blades every 6 to 12 months. Even if they appear to be in good condition, regular replacement ensures they continue to clear your windshield effectively without streaking or skipping.

Transmission fluid change intervals typically range from 30,000 to 60,000 miles for normal driving conditions. However, more frequent changes may be necessary for demanding conditions such as towing, hot climates, or stop-and-go traffic. Some vehicles require a complete fluid flush or exchange as part of their maintenance schedule.

Timing belt replacement should follow the manufacturer's recommendations to prevent costly engine repairs. Even if your vehicle hasn't reached the specified mileage, consider replacing the belt if it's 5 to 7 years old. Often, it's cost-effective to replace the water pump simultaneously as it's typically driven by the timing belt.

We provide a one-year warranty on our labor. The warranty on parts varies depending on the manufacturer's terms.

We use OEM parts when necessary. However, we often opt for high-quality aftermarket parts to provide cost-effective solutions, unless the customer specifies otherwise. Aftermarket parts are typically more affordable, readily available, and offer a wider range of options.

While the check engine light doesn't pinpoint the exact issue, it does indicate a problem. Our advanced diagnostic tools can retrieve specific trouble codes, providing a starting point for identifying and resolving the underlying issue.
