Maintenance

Call for an appointment. You will be glad that you did.

      FRONT & REAR BRAKES

 

Front brake pads provide up to 70% of a vehicles stopping power. Because of this they wear twice as fast as the rear brake pads.

​

Replacement of brake rotors/ Drums will depend on the make and model of a car and whether it is a two or four wheel drive. To avoid squeaks and improper heat dispensation we always use original manufacturer approved parts, or parts of equal or better quality. 

      ALIGNMENT

 

The correct wheel alignment can improve driver safety, increase fuel efficiency and improve the overall ride of the car.

​

Wheel alignment's should be performed after the purchase of new tires, when suspension or steering parts are replaced, or after an accident has occurred or a pothole has been hit.

​

Most manufacturers recommend  a 4-wheel alignment at least once a year.​

​

​

      WHEELS & SUSPENSION

 

Tires can be worn on one shoulder, or both shoulders, in the center, or show feather edging or cupping. These are signs of improper rotation, excessive camber (high or low), excessive toe in, or toe out. Under or overinflated tires, worn suspension parts, improper wheel balance, worn out shock absorbers, an internal tire problem or a combination of worn parts and alignment problems.

​

These can be corrected by using some of the following techniques: Wheel alignment, replacing or rotating worn tires, Checking tire pressure and load of vehicle, Inspecting and replacement of worn parts.
