Your vehicle’s axle, CV joints, and driveshaft are essential for smooth performance and safe drivability. The driveshaft connects the transmission to the rear differential, while CV joints transfer torque to the wheels and allow for flexibility as your vehicle moves. The axle supports your vehicle’s weight and withstands the forces of braking and acceleration. Over time, these components may need maintenance or replacement to keep your car running safely and smoothly.
Since 1996, vehicles have used On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) to monitor engine performance. When the “check engine” light comes on, it’s time for a diagnostic service or tune-up. Engine diagnostics help our technicians identify and fix issues, while regular tune-ups, like replacing spark plugs, filters, and checking emission levels, keep your engine running smoothly and help prevent unexpected problems. Routine diagnostics and maintenance can extend your engine’s life and improve performance.
Your vehicle’s exhaust system is located underneath the car and directs harmful gases away from the engine, reducing pollution and minimizing noise. It includes pipes, a manifold, a catalytic converter, a muffler, and a tailpipe. The system collects emissions, transforms them into less harmful substances, and releases them safely, all while helping your engine run efficiently and quietly.
Four-wheel drive (4WD) systems allow all four wheels to spin at once, improving traction on tough terrain or in poor conditions. A transfer case splits power between the front and rear axles, while different 4WD systems use technologies like locking or limited-slip differentials for maximum grip. Some vehicles have manual hubs you engage yourself, while others use automatic hubs for convenience. Our technicians are skilled in diagnosing and repairing all types of 4WD systems, keeping you safe and confident on the road.
Regular oil and filter changes are essential for keeping your engine running smoothly and extending your vehicle’s life. Oil lubricates engine parts, reduces friction, absorbs heat, and carries debris to the oil filter. During an oil change, we replace the old oil and filter, and lubricate chassis components per manufacturer guidelines, helping ensure your engine stays clean, cool, and well-protected.
Your vehicle’s starting and charging system controls the electrical power needed to start and operate your car. When you turn the key, the battery sends power to the starter and solenoid, which crank the engine. Once running, the alternator generates electricity to recharge the battery and power electrical components, while the voltage regulator manages energy flow. Together, these parts keep your vehicle starting reliably and running smoothly.
