Tune Ups
Your spark plugs can't last forever and when they start to die, other components must work overtime to compensate. Your fuel filter may become clogged, stressing your engine and ruining your fuel economy. If your engine is allowed to falter, it may stress out your catalytic converter. On the other hand, if these are replaced at scheduled intervals, your car may indeed hit that magic 200,000 mile mark. Talk to our mechanics about the scheduled maintenance that your car needs.

OIL Changes
From regular blends to advanced synthetics, your oil change should be particular to the age and condition of your car. Our highly trained technicians can advise you on which type of oil is best for your engine.
General Fluid Maintenance
Our oil isn't the only vital fluid in your powertrain. Transmission fluid keeps your gears from jamming. Brake fluid ensures that your car can stop. Coolant stops your car from overheating during our long hot summers. In 4x4's, lubricant is vital to the transfer case. The manufacturer has definite guidelines regarding timely fluid replacement. When you get your car serviced by us, we will keep an eye on your fluids, and, when necessary, we can flush the system.
Brake Jobs
Good brakes keep drivers and their passengers out of harm's way. If brakes fail to match their factory-level potential, the result may be a costly accident. It certainly pays to get regular brake inspections. If you hear the tell-tale whine of a brake pad, hurry in to our shop. Replacing your pads in a timely manner is the surest way to protect your expensive discs or drums.
Catalytic Converter
If the catalytic converter isn’t operating efficiently, the check engine light will come on and your engine can begin to lose performance. If the catalytic converter becomes plugged, the engine light will begin to flash and your engine may stall or no longer start. In extreme cases where the converter is plugged, the excess back pressure created can actually cause internal engine damage. If you are experiencing symptoms related to catalytic converter failure, get it checked soon.
