Batteries

The batteries in your vehicle are the source of power. They also provide the power required for the functioning of electrical components and accessories, including interior and exterior lighting, windows, power seats, and radio. Our team specializes in the state-of-the-art computerized battery tests. Once the test is done, we will carry out the required procedure to fix the problem. From replacing and disposing of the existing battery to removing corrosion from the battery-cable terminals, we handle everything.

Why is battery service important for my vehicle?

Various factors like under-hood temperatures, vehicle vibrations, and extreme cold/hot climate conditions damage the internal components of a battery and limit its life expectancy. Everything in your vehicle fails if your battery fails. Hence, it is important to service your batteries regularly.

How often should I get my batteries checked?

Generally, the average life expectancy of a battery is about 4 years. If you tend to notice any of the following electrical system warning signs, it’s time to get your batteries checked. Take a look at the signs that shouldn’t be left unnoticed:

●You have to jump-start your vehicle to get it running

●Your engine turns over slowly, or not at all

●Your dashboard warning lights stay on

●Some of your electrical components aren’t working

Brakes

Replacing your brake pads periodically will help you save money by preventing a “metal-on-metal” condition that accelerates the need to replace expensive rotors and/or drums. Our team is trained and equipped to maintain, repair, and replace your brake system to ensure it is working efficiently. Our brake services include:

●Replacement of worn out brake pads and/or brake shoes

●Resurfacing brake rotors or drums

●Replacement of brake fluid as needed

Why is it important to get my brakes serviced?

You need to keep your brakes functioning well as they are essential for the vehicle’s safety and reliability. Brake pads, shoes, drums, and rotors are made of materials that wear down due to heat and friction. This can happen even under normal driving conditions. These issues can affect the brake system’s hydraulic components such as callipers, wheel cylinders, and brake hoses. Failure of these brake components can lead to costly repairs and loss of braking.

How often should I get my brakes checked?

In order to keep your brakes responsive, it is necessary for you to have them checked at least once a year. This will also help you avoid costly repairs and replacements. However, you need to get your brakes checked immediately if you tend to notice the following:

●Your brakes are continuously squeaking, squealing, or grinding

●You need to pump your brakes for them to work properly

●Your brake pedal feels unusually soft and spongy, or hard

●Your brake or anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light comes on

●Your car jerks or pulls to one side when braking

●You notice brake fluid leaks around the wheels or engine compartment

How often should I have my oil changed?

It’s recommended to check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations. However, most vehicles require oil change every three months or 3,000 miles/4,800 km.
