What Are the Most Common Auto Repair Services Requested?
As you may know, vehicle ownership comes with a significant amount of maintenance. Are you in need of expert auto repairs? There's a lot we can help with, from simple tune-ups to foreign auto rebuilds. Here's a closer look at the most common types of auto repair services clients come to us for.
Regular Oil and Filter Changes
The most commonly obtained service is one of the most basic and affordable. According to AAA, it's recommended to have your vehicle's oil changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or once every 12 months. This helps to keep the engine properly lubricated. The service is also a good chance to inspect the old oil filter for any debris indicating internal engine damage.
Brake Services
Brakes are another common service due to the way in which brake pads wear down over time. In our experience, brake pads need to be inspected annually and often have a service life of between 20,000 and 30,000 miles. When they are near the end of their service life, it's important to change them to ensure good braking power and prevent damage to the brake rotor and other components.
Engine Diagnostics
When the check engine light turns on, the cause could be a number of different issues. Fortunately, most of them are relatively simple to correct, like replacing a dirty air filter. Your local auto repair shop will have the diagnostic equipment needed to determine what the problem is and fix it so that the check engine light shuts off.
Wheel Alignments
Wheels need to be aligned properly for your vehicle to drive in a naturally straight path and handle well. That said, many things could cause the wheels to become misaligned. If you have difficulty driving straight, an alignment service will be able to restore your vehicle’s handling.
Suspension Issues
Tie rod ends and ball joints are especially important to maintain and repair when they go bad, as are the shocks, struts, and springs that help to give you a smooth ride regardless of conditions. When suspension parts are worn out or damaged, we recommend calling for repairs as soon as possible.
