The differential is a crucial part of a vehicle’s drivetrain that divides the torque of the engine between the wheels, giving them the ability to turn at different rates when necessary. This system is initiated when turning corners. Differentials differ depending on the drivetrain — for instance, the differential is on the rear axle on a standard rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the differential is on the front transaxle on a front-wheel-drive vehicle, and finally, there are two differentials for all-wheel-drive vehicles — on both the front-end and rear-end axles. Signs you need differential service: • Whistling noises. • Vibrations. • Gear grinding. • Rubbing or clunking noise. • Sluggish performance. We have the skills and equipment to service the differential, whether you need a full replacement, or a partial rebuild like side and pinion seals or gasket, gear, or bearing replacements.

Our professions will ensure that the rotation is properly done, and your tires are secured once more. Contact us today!

Preventative maintenance has a few names from routine maintenance to factory maintenance. Preventative maintenance is a checklist of vehicle components that a technician inspects to ensure your vehicle is at optimum efficiency. A few things they check are the exhaust, brake, oil, alignment of the wheels, tires, and more. This checklist will state if a vehicle needs certain services before the season shifts, and it will help a technician inform a driver of what services are needed on their vehicle, so it remains safe and reliable to drive. Signs you need preventative maintenance: • Strange engine noises when idling. • Squealing brakes. • Check engine light or maintenance light. • Grinding noises. • Rough idling. Our technicians have an in-depth preventative maintenance list to go over your vehicle with to ensure maximum efficiency along with a set of services to keep you and your family safe for the season changes ahead.

All-wheel drive vehicles are also known as 4x4s and four-wheel drive vehicles. These vehicles require a specific system, especially when used for off-roading and towing. The four-wheel drive system operates every day and will need maintenance after time. Technicians will inspect components like the locking hubs, axels, differentials, and the transfer case for leaks and wear to ensure your vehicle is safe and at optimum efficiency. Signs you need four-wheel drive service: • Vehicle cannot fluctuate between or stuck in drive modes. • Whistling axel. • Low fluid levels in the differential. • Illuminated dashboard lights. Our team of technicians has the skills and equipment to diagnose and service your four-wheel drive system, whether you need to replace or service the axel, differentials, or transfer case.

The duty of the fuel filter is to screen out unwanted particles that may be in with the fuel to ensure that the fuel that reaches the engine is clean and free of these harmful particles. Fuel filter replacement is regular maintenance that aids in your vehicle’s lifespan and overall efficiency. Signs you need a fuel filter replacement: • Difficulty starting your vehicle. • Components in your fuel system start failing. • Loud noises from your fuel pump. • Rough idling and misfiring. • Vehicle stalling. Our technicians can diagnose to see if you are in need of a new fuel filter. Ask about a fuel filter replacement the next time you stop in for scheduled maintenance. Contact us today!

The vehicle radiator is a component that helps remove extra heat from the engine as part of the vehicle’s cooling system. The cooling system works together to push the heat out of the vent known as the radiator to prevent overheating; overheating can cause extreme damage to your vehicle. Signs your radiator needs service. • Vehicle overheating. • Radiator sludge. • Low coolant levels. • Coolant leaks. Our technicians have the skills and equipment to diagnose if your radiator needs patching or replacing to help avoid any overheating damage to your vehicle. Regular maintenance of the cooling system can catch radiator issues before they cause larger problems. Contact us today!

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve is a one-way street to your vehicle’s crankcase. The crankcase is what holds the motor oil at the bottom of a vehicle’s engine. When your vehicle is burning fuel, it will create gases and — before emissions — the exhaust system releases these gases. How to tell if you need a PCV Valve Replacement? • Oil leaks. • Whistling from the engine. • Sludge around the engine. • Blown out seals or gaskets. • Check engine light illuminated. Our technicians have the skills and equipment to replace the PCV valve, returning your vehicle to optimum efficiency once more. Contact us today!
