WHEEL ALIGNMENT

There are a few common things you might notice when it’s time for a wheel alignment service:
  • Pulls
    Your car steering “pulls” in one direction. Oftentimes this is caused by a steering angle that is out of adjustment. Sometimes, an under-inflated or faulty tire can cause a phenomena called “radial pull.”
  • Wandering
    You find it hard to keep your car from wandering over the travel lane. A misadjusted caster angle is most likely the cause of this concern. Think of the caster angle like the forks on a motorcycle. The more severe angle on the forks equals more caster. This angle has a great impact on the ability of the car to maintain a straight line.
  • Play
    Instead of feeling in precise control of your steering you feel “play” or “slack” from the steering wheel to the turn of the wheels. Any worn suspension or steering components can cause this problem.
  • Clunking or rubbing noise
    Rubbing or clunking when going over bumps, turning or stopping is a steering and suspension warning. Like slack in the steering, any worn suspension or steering components can cause this problem.
  • Tire wear
    Your vehicle tire wear becomes uneven. A combination of misadjusted steering angles and/or worn components will cause this concern. Sometimes abusive driving or improperly inflated tires can contribute to this problem. This problem is extremely dangerous because the tires prematurely wear exposing a very thin section of the tire to the forces of the vehicle and the road.
  • Car bottoms out
    If your car bottoms out when going over bumps, then worn shocks, struts or suspension components are a likely culprit. We strongly recommend having your alignment checked before any of these repairs are attempted so that all the components can be checked to minimize the possibility of having a repeat repair visit. If you have a strut equipped vehicle, you will need your alignment reset after having your struts replaced.
  • Replacing tires too often
    Misadjusted suspension angles and/or improperly inflated tires are the most common reasons for this problem. In most cases, a proper alignment will fix this problem.

FUEL PUMP REPAIR

There are a few common things you might notice when your car needs a fuel pump repair:
  • Engine stalls.
  • Long crank time to start.
  • Lack of power.
  • Loud humming noise.
Fuel pumps are a common failure in today’s vehicles. However, they are often misdiagnosed because most technicians do not have access to factory equipment which allows them to pinpoint the exact problem. Modern vehicles have fuel pumps mounted inside the fuel tank, which makes it impossible to look at without disassembly. Our service experts are trained to use factory equipment to properly diagnose problems so you don’t waste money having unnecessary repairs performed.

CAR STEERING REPAIR

There are a few common things you might notice when your car’s steering needs to be repaired or serviced:
  • Whining or whirring noise.
  • Harder to steer.
  • Red or clear fluid leaks.
Keeping your power steering system clean by flushing is the best way to insure against expensive power steering system failures. We recommend flushing the system at least every 50,000 miles.

CAR OVERHEATING

  • Temperature gauge reads high.
  • Steam or smoke coming from under the hood.
  • Check engine light turns on.
  • Overheating warning lamp turns on.
  • Sweet odor coming from the car.
  • Coolant reservoir appears low.
  • CAR NOT RUNNING RIGHT

    There are a few common things you might notice when your car is not running right:
    • Vibration: You feel more vibration than usual in the steering wheel when the vehicle is idling at a stop.
    • Gas Mileage: You notice that you are filling up at the gas station more frequently than usual.
    • Check engine light: Your check engine light or service engine light comes on steady or blinking.
    • Smoke: You see smoke coming from the tailpipe.
    These problems are typically a same day repair as long as the vehicle is brought in for care as soon as the problem is observed. Otherwise, unexpected problems can arise adding time and expense to the service visit.

    CAR ELECTRICAL REPAIR

    There are a few common things you might notice when your car needs electrical repair:
    • Battery dies.
    • Battery warning light is on.
    • Turn signals don’t work or blink too fast.
    • Lights don’t dim properly.
    • Power windows or mirrors don’t work.
    • Burning electrical smell.

    CAR BRAKE REPAIR

    There are a few common signals you might notice when your car’s brakes need to be serviced or repaired:
    • Squeal
      Your brakes squeal when coming to a stop or while driving.
    • Light
      Your brake warning light comes on.
    • Pulls
      Your vehicle pulls to one side when braking instead of stopping in a straight line.
    • Pulsate
      Your car pulsates to a stop when you use the brakes.
    • Grinding
      Your brakes grind continuously producing a loud metallic sound.
    • Mushy
      Your brake pedal is either “mushy” or too hard to press down.
    • Pump
      You must pump the brakes to get them to work right.
    • Heat
      One or more of your wheels are excessively hot after a short drive.
