Oil Change
Oil Change
Your vehicle's engine is comprised of many moving parts. The oil acts to lubricate and absorb the heat created from the friction of these moving parts. Quite simply, oil is like the blood of your vehicle: it cannot function without it. Over time, like all other fluids, oil begins to break down, becoming less effective and causing stress on your engine. Along with replacing the oil, we also change the filter to ensure clean, uncontaminated oil is circulating through the engine.
Synthetic vs. Regular Oil
Every engine has specific oil requirements which can be met by either regular conventional oil or synthetic oil. There is no difference in the service, rather the quality of the product. Regular Conventional oil is refined from crude oil, where as Synthetic oil is man made and designed to feature the best aspects of crude oil using the chemical compounds. Synthetic Oil has many benefits including: better performance (less friction) thanks to uniform molecules, reduced deposits, fewer impurities, better cold weather performance and longer intervals between oil changes.
Multi-Point Inspection
Multi-Point Inspection
A complete inspection of all major systems and components including the braking system, tires, suspension, steering components, fluids and filters.
Schedule Service4 Wheel Brake Service
4 Wheel Brake Service
A four wheel brake service is a complete detail and lubrication of all the mechanical brake components. The bracket that holds the brake pads in place and the pins and the slides that allow the calliper to move back and forth on the mounting bracket are taken apart and cleaned. These components are then re-installed and lubricated. This service not only allows for even braking and a smoother ride but also extends the life span of your mechanical braking components.
Schedule ServiceTire Rotation
Tire Rotation
A tire rotation is an simple yet mighty service. Routine tire rotations not only impact the overall performance and efficiency of your vehicle but also preserve balanced handling and tire traction and prolong the life of your tires by promoting even tread wear. Even tread Wear is especially important on 2 wheel drive vehicles (front or rear wheel drive) as the tires on the drive axel undergo much different treatment than the tires opposite the drive axle.
Schedule ServiceAlignment Inspection
Alignment Inspection
Unavoidable obstacles like pot holes, uneven surfaces in the road and train tracks can throw your wheels out of alignment. An out of spec alignment can place additional stress on suspension and steering components, causing them to wear out prematurely. Readjusting them to the manufactures specifications reduces uneven tire wear which prolongs the life of your tires, enhances your fuel economy, ensures your steering wheel is correctly aligned, prolongs the life of steering and suspensions components and assists in a smoother ride. We'll inspect your vehicle's current alignment, provide you with a report and advise on next steps!
Schedule ServiceEngine Air Filter
Engine Air Filter
The engine air filter, filters the air being drawn into the engine. As dirt, dust and leaves plug the air filter, regularly replacing the filter allows for proper air flow into the engine. Proper air flow into the engine is integral to proper performance and efficiency.
