Shocks/Struts & Suspension

If you’re enjoying a comfortable ride, it’s because your shocks/struts and suspension system are functioning properly — keep your wheels in contact with the road.

When shocks/struts or springs go bad, your ride may get bouncy or uncomfortable. The front end of the vehicle may “dive” or loss of control while making a sudden stop. Your car may swerve more than normal while changing lanes, or your vehicle may sag in the front or the rear.   If something isn’t right in this part of your car — if components are worn or loose — you’ll probably notice that handling and stability deteriorate. And you may notice accelerated tire wear. 

Suspension System

Your suspension system consists of:

Shocks, struts and coil springs: What’s the difference?

Shocks

Shocks can wear out in as little as 25,000 to 30,000 miles. This is due to the constant motion your vehicle. For safety and comfort, check your shocks about once a year.

Struts

Most front-wheel drive cars have a McPherson strut suspension system, which combines the coil springs and shocks into one unit. Struts cost more, but typically have a longer life than conventional shock absorbers. However, struts wear out and should be checked about once a year or so to be safe.

Coil Spring

Coil springs help shocks and struts keep vehicle bounce to a minimum. With time, the spring weakens. All springs sag with age. For your comfort and safety, have your coil springs checked about once a year or so.

Preventive medicine for your car.

 

You’ve heard of preventive medicine. How about preventive maintenance?

 

You know the mechanic’s rule of thumb: “Get a regular oil change every 3,000 to 4,000 miles.” Getting a regular oil change is really the easiest and best thing you can do for your car. It adds to the reliability and longevity of your vehicle.

 

Included in our oil change service:

      Antifreeze/coolant reservoir levels, engine air filtration system, brake fluid level in       transparent reservoirs, serpentine belts, wiper blades, exterior light operation

      Transmission/transaxle fluids, power steering fluid, differential fluid, windshield washer       fluid, battery water (this does not apply to sealed batteries)

 

If time permits, we’ll gladly respond to any additional and reasonable requests to check something out on your car, while we are changing your oil. Just ask.

Transmission Services

 

First of all, you either have an automatic or manual transmission.

 

Automatic transmission services:

 

When it comes to keeping your automatic transmission in good working order, our expert technicians may need to perform one of four services:

 

 

Drain and fill:  The internal parts of your transmission are lubricated, cooled and cleaned by transmission fluid. This fluid also aids functionality by maintaining hydraulic pressure. Additives in the fluid can get depleted with time. To service this:

Filter replacement:  Like other filters, your automatic transmission filter helps remove dirt and contaminants from fluid. To service this:

Fluid exchange:  The internal parts of your transmission are lubricated, cooled and cleaned by transmission fluid. This fluid also helps maintain the right hydraulic pressure to keep your transmission functioning properly. The additives in the transmission fluid can be depleted over time. Our Automatic Transmission Fluid Exchange service includes:

Fluid exchange and filter replacement:  The internal parts of a transmission are lubricated, cooled and cleaned by transmission fluid. This fluid also helps maintain the right hydraulic pressure to keep your transmission functioning properly. The additives in the fluid can be depleted over time. If your transmission needs a fluid exchange:

Manual transmission service:

You’ll find your transmission between the engine and the driving wheels. It’s there acting as a speed and power-changing part of your car. It actually changes the ratio between the engine RPM (revolutions per minute) and driving wheel RPM.

In a manual transmission the transmission fluid lubricates gears, bearings, shafts, and other internal components. Heat, pressure and friction can gradually weaken the additives in your fluid. As gears wear down, small particles of metal may come off and mix with the fluid. Transmission fluids can also get contaminated with water. To service these issues:
