Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of auto repair services do you offer?

A: We offer comprehensive auto repair services, including brake repair, transmission service, engine diagnostics, oil changes, car AC repair, tire rotation, and more. Whether it’s routine maintenance or a major repair, our certified technicians have you covered.

Q: How do I know if my car needs repairs?

A: Common signs include strange noises, dashboard warning lights, poor handling, fluid leaks, and reduced performance. If something feels off, it’s best to get your vehicle inspected promptly.

Q: How often should I replace my brake pads?

A: Most brake pads last between 30,000 to 70,000 miles, but this depends on your driving habits and vehicle type. Squeaking, grinding, or longer stopping distances are signs they need replacement.

Q: What happens if I delay brake repair?

A: Driving with worn brakes is dangerous. It can damage the rotors and lead to expensive repairs or accidents. Always address brake issues immediately.

Q: What are signs of a bad transmission?

A: Delayed shifting, gear slipping, transmission fluid leaks, or a burning smell are signs your transmission needs attention. Ignoring these can lead to costly damage.

Q: Do you offer transmission service as well as full repairs?

A: Yes, we provide both. Transmission service includes fluid changes, filter replacement, and system inspections to prevent breakdowns and extend transmission life.

Q: How often should I get an oil change?

A: Typically every 3,000–5,000 miles for conventional oil and up to 7,500–10,000 miles for synthetic. Check your owner’s manual or ask our experts for guidance based on your driving conditions.

Q: What’s included in an oil change service?

A: Our oil change includes draining old oil, installing a new filter, adding fresh oil, and checking fluid levels, tire pressure, and other vital components.

Q: What does engine diagnostics involve?

A: We use advanced diagnostic tools to scan your vehicle’s onboard computer for error codes. This helps pinpoint issues with the engine, sensors, exhaust system, and more.

Q: Can you repair engine issues once diagnosed?

A: Absolutely. We handle all engine repairs—from spark plug replacements to full engine rebuilds—with precision and care.

Q: Why is my car’s AC blowing warm air?

A: It could be due to low refrigerant, a faulty compressor, a leak, or a bad condenser. We’ll perform a complete AC inspection to identify and fix the problem.

Q: How often should I service my car’s AC?

A: Ideally once a year before summer, or anytime you notice reduced cooling. Regular service ensures optimal performance and comfort.

Q: Why is tire rotation important?

A: Rotating your tires every 5,000–7,000 miles ensures even wear, improves handling, and extends tire life. It’s a quick and effective way to protect your investment.

Q: How do I know if my car needs a wheel alignment?

A: If your vehicle drifts to one side, the steering wheel feels off-center, or you notice uneven tire wear, it likely needs a wheel alignment. Correct alignment enhances both driving safety and fuel efficiency.

Q: How long do car batteries last?

A: On average, 3 to 5 years. If your car is slow to start, dashboard lights flicker, or you’ve needed multiple jump-starts, it’s time for a battery check or replacement.

Q: Can you test my battery’s health before replacing it?

A: Yes, we offer quick and accurate battery testing to determine whether you need a replacement or if another issue is causing the problem.

Q: What are symptoms of radiator trouble?

A: Engine overheating, coolant leaks, a rising temperature gauge, and low coolant levels often point to radiator problems. We diagnose and repair radiator issues to prevent engine damage.

Q: Do you flush radiators as part of maintenance?

A: Yes, we provide radiator flushes and coolant replacements to keep your cooling system functioning efficiently and extend the life of your engine.

Q: Why is my check engine light on?

A: It can indicate anything from a loose gas cap to serious engine issues. Our diagnostics reveal the exact cause so we can recommend the right repair.

Q: Is it safe to drive with the check engine light on?

A: If the light is steady, you can drive short distance, but it needs to be checked asap. When the light is flashing then you should call for service immediately.

Q: What are signs of suspension problems?

A: Bumpy rides, uneven tire wear, poor steering response, and a drifting sensation while driving are common signs. Suspension issues affect both safety and comfort.

Q: Do you offer shock and strut replacement?

A: Yes, we repair and replace shocks, struts, control arms, and other suspension components to restore smooth handling and ride quality.
