Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get my oil changed?

It’s generally recommended to change your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on your vehicle’s make, model, and driving conditions. Check your owner’s manual for specific guidelines, or ask us for personalized advice during your next visit.

What are the signs that my brakes need to be serviced?

Common signs include squeaking or grinding noises, a soft or spongy brake pedal, and longer stopping distances. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your brakes inspected as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.

Why is my steering wheel shaking while driving?

A shaking steering wheel can indicate various issues, such as unbalanced tires, misaligned wheels, or problems with the suspension or steering components. We can diagnose the cause and recommend the necessary repairs to restore smooth handling.

How often should I rotate my tires?

Tire rotation is typically recommended every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. Regular rotations help ensure even tire wear, extend the life of your tires, and improve your vehicle’s performance. We can include this service during your routine maintenance visits.

What does it mean when my check engine light comes on?

The check engine light can signal a range of issues, from a loose gas cap to more serious engine problems. It’s important to have the issue diagnosed promptly to prevent potential damage to your vehicle. We use advanced diagnostic tools to quickly identify and resolve the problem.

How do I know if my vehicle needs an alignment?

Signs of misalignment include your vehicle pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, and a crooked steering wheel when driving straight. Regular alignments improve handling, reduce tire wear, and ensure a smooth ride. We recommend checking your alignment at least once a year.

Why is my car's air conditioning not blowing cold air?

A lack of cold air can be caused by low refrigerant levels, a malfunctioning compressor, or issues with the HVAC system. Our technicians can diagnose the problem and restore your air conditioning to keep you comfortable in hot weather.
