What is Preventative Maintenance?
Tire rotation
Upon request and in supplement to any other service, we can rotate your tires while your vehicle is on the rack. However we exercise a firm policy that we will only preform this for tires that are newer than 6 months old.
Tune up
Depending on the system your car runs, this service can involve: spark plugs (gapped to the correct specifications), rotor and/or distributor cap (if required), fuel filter; air filter; PCV valve and breather filter, or other parts like spark plug wires, belts, hoses, fluids on an as needed basis. Older vehicles may need ignition timing, idle speed, and idle mixture to be checked and adjusted.
Transmission flush
Generally it is recommended to preform this service every 30,000 miles or 2 years to extend the life of your transmission. It would entail removing the old transmission fluid and replacing it with newer grade to lubricate, cool and clean the transmission system. However, if you are already experiencing problems with your transmission - we will have to test drive your vehicle to note how serious the condition is.
Vehicle inspection with any service above
While your vehicle is on the lift, our mechanics will preform complementary inspection of the belts, top off fluid level, and maintain tire pressure to ensure your car is running in tip top shape.
Battery Inspection
We can check the condition of your vehicles battery and cables from wear and tear to corrosive damages. A voltmeter test will also determine if your battery needs to be recharged or replaced.
Oil change, lube and filter
Refer to this oil change calculator for manufacturer recommended oil change. This service consists of draining the dirty motor oil and replacing it. We also offer a full variety of synthetic oil, which has been shown to produce less resistance in the engine and therefore offer more horsepower and overall efficiency for the engine. This added horsepower in return means that the engine will be able to perform at the same level as before, but using slightly less gas.
Factory scheduled maintenance
Whether you are due for your 30K, 50K, 90K, 120K - we will preform a full routine check that includes your distributor cap/rotor, ignition wires, air & fuel filters, transmission fluid, tires or brakes, etc. Actual factory scheduled maintenance recommendations may differ based on several factors including driving habits and conditions. Consult your vehicles owner's manual for further information.
Fuel injection cleaning
This service pertains to cleaning fuel injectors. throttle body air intake, inspecting fuel lines, fuel rail, pressure regulator, vacuum line, and all connections. We will preform a pressure test on the fuel pump and system, and decarbonize the intake manifold, intake, exhaust valves, combustion chamber and pistons.
