Advanced Vehicle Services are designed for drivers who want to provide their vehicle with the highest level of care and attention, ensuring optimal performance, longevity, and safety. These services go beyond basic or intermediate maintenance by addressing all critical components of the vehicle, often using advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to detect issues before they become major problems. Here’s a detailed explanation of the Advanced Vehicle Services that we offer:

1. Full Oil Change & Complete Fluid System Inspection and Service

• Oil Change: We perform a full oil change using high-quality motor oil suited to your vehicle's specifications. This includes changing the oil filter and draining the old oil to ensure the engine runs smoothly.

• Complete Fluid Check: We inspect and top off fluids for the engine, transmission, brake system, power steering, differential, and windshield washer systems. We also assess the condition of the fluids, checking for contaminants or signs of degradation.

• Fluid Replacements and Flushes: In addition to topping off fluids, we may recommend fluid flushes to remove old, dirty fluids from critical systems such as the coolant, transmission, and power steering to maintain efficiency and prevent damage.

2. Tire Service Package (Rotation, Balancing, Alignment, and Replacement)

• Tire Rotation: We rotate your tires to ensure they wear evenly and extend the lifespan of the tread. This is essential for even handling and maximizing the life of your tires.

• Tire Balancing: Balancing your tires ensures smooth driving by evenly distributing the weight of the tire around the wheel. This helps reduce vibration and prevent uneven wear.

• Wheel Alignment: We check and adjust your vehicle’s wheel alignment to ensure the tires are properly aligned with the road. Misalignment can cause premature tire wear, poor handling, and increased fuel consumption.

• Tire Replacement: If your tires are worn beyond safe limits, we can help you choose and install the right replacements for your vehicle, taking into account factors like weather conditions and driving habits.

3. Complete Brake System Overhaul

• Brake Pad and Rotor Inspection/Replacement: We inspect the brake pads for wear and replace them if necessary. We also check the brake rotors for scoring or warping and resurface or replace them as needed.

• Brake Fluid Flush: We inspect and flush the brake fluid to ensure proper braking performance. Contaminated or degraded fluid can reduce the effectiveness of your brakes and cause damage to the brake system over time.

• Comprehensive Brake Line Inspection: We check for leaks, corrosion, or blockages in the brake lines that could compromise braking performance and safety.

4. Battery & Charging System Inspection

• Battery Health Check: We test the battery’s charge capacity and check for corrosion on terminals. A healthy battery is critical for reliable engine start-up and the functioning of your electrical systems.

• Charging System Inspection: We inspect the alternator, starter motor, and wiring to ensure the charging system is working correctly and that your battery is being properly charged while the engine is running.

5. Air, Cabin, and Fuel Filter Replacement

• Engine Air Filter: The engine air filter prevents dirt and debris from entering the engine. Replacing it when it becomes clogged ensures proper airflow, engine efficiency, and optimal fuel economy.

• Cabin Air Filter: The cabin air filter ensures clean air inside the vehicle by filtering out dust, pollen, and other pollutants. Replacing it ensures better air quality and the proper functioning of your vehicle's HVAC system.

• Fuel Filter: The fuel filter prevents dirt and debris from entering the fuel injectors. Replacing it helps maintain proper fuel flow, optimizing engine performance and fuel efficiency.

6. Complete Fluid Flushes and System Maintenance

• Coolant Flush: Over time, coolant can degrade or become contaminated, reducing its ability to regulate engine temperature. A coolant flush removes old coolant and replaces it with fresh fluid to prevent overheating and engine damage.

• Transmission Fluid Flush: Transmission fluid helps keep your transmission lubricated and cool. A fluid flush helps remove old, contaminated fluid, improving the transmission’s performance and lifespan.

• Power Steering Fluid Flush: Old or degraded power steering fluid can cause steering issues. A flush restores proper fluid levels and cleans out any contaminants, ensuring smooth and responsive steering.

7. Timing Belt and Chain Inspection/Replacement

• Timing Belt Inspection: The timing belt synchronizes the engine's camshaft and crankshaft. If the belt wears out or breaks, it can cause severe engine damage. We inspect the belt for signs of wear and recommend replacement as needed.

• Timing Chain: Some vehicles have a timing chain instead of a belt. We inspect the chain and related components for wear and replace them as necessary to prevent costly engine damage.

8. Suspension, Steering, and Alignment Inspection

• Suspension System Check: We inspect the suspension components, including shocks, struts, and springs, for wear and leaks. A well-maintained suspension system ensures a smooth ride and safe handling.

• Steering System Check: We check the steering rack, power steering pump, and linkage for signs of wear or leaks. Proper steering function is essential for vehicle safety and responsiveness.

• Wheel Alignment: We ensure your vehicle’s alignment is correct, preventing uneven tire wear, improving handling, and optimizing fuel efficiency.

9. Exhaust System Inspection and Service

• Exhaust System Check: We inspect the exhaust system for leaks, rust, and damage. The exhaust system includes components such as the muffler, catalytic converter, and exhaust pipes, which are essential for reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency.

• Emission System Inspection: We ensure your vehicle’s emission system is working properly, which helps reduce pollutants and ensures the vehicle passes emissions testing.

10. Transmission Service and Inspection

• Transmission Fluid Inspection and Replacement: Transmission fluid is essential for smooth shifting and overall transmission health. We check the fluid’s condition, top it off, and perform a flush if necessary.

• Transmission Diagnostics: We use diagnostic tools to check for issues in the transmission system, including slipping gears, rough shifting, or unusual noises. Early detection helps avoid major transmission repairs.

11. Comprehensive Inspection of Belts, Hoses, and Pulleys

• Belts and Hoses Inspection: We inspect the condition of all engine belts (serpentine belts, drive belts) and hoses (coolant hoses, vacuum hoses) for cracks, fraying, or wear. Replacing them before they fail prevents engine damage or sudden breakdowns.

• Pulley Inspection: We check the pulleys for wear and proper tension to ensure smooth operation of all engine systems.

12. HVAC System Inspection and Service

• HVAC System Check: We inspect your vehicle’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to ensure it works efficiently. We check for leaks, replace filters, and test the system’s performance.

• AC Refrigerant Recharge: If your air conditioning system is not cooling as effectively as it should, we can recharge the system with the proper amount of refrigerant and inspect for leaks.

13. Detailed Diagnostic Check and ECU Scan

• Diagnostic Tools: We use advanced diagnostic tools to scan the vehicle’s electronic control units (ECUs) for error codes and performance issues that may not be immediately obvious. This helps us detect problems before they develop into major failures.

• ECU Reprogramming/Updates: If needed, we can update the ECU’s software to ensure it runs efficiently and to resolve any performance issues.

14. Road Test and Performance Evaluation

• Test Drive: After all maintenance and repairs, we take the vehicle for a road test to evaluate its overall performance. This includes assessing the handling, braking, suspension, transmission shifting, and more.

• Performance Evaluation: We provide a detailed evaluation of your vehicle’s performance, noting any areas that may require attention in the future.

Advanced Vehicle Services provide a holistic approach to maintaining the health of your vehicle. By addressing all critical systems and components, these services help extend the lifespan of your vehicle, improve safety, enhance performance, and prevent costly repairs.
