There are two important types of belts in your vehicle, which are your timing belt and serpentine belts. Timing belts are vital for your engine to start and function as it transfers the power from the camshaft to power the crankshaft; if this belt were to break, your engine would immediately stop working. Serpentine belts are often called drive belts and power different components within your vehicle like the radiator, power steering pump, A/C compressor, alternator, and more. Hoses play another vital part in your vehicle’s efficiency. Types of hoses are fuel hoses, brake hoses, coolant/radiator hoses, power steering hoses, and heater hoses. Hoses are essential for transferring coolant and other fluids through your vehicle to prevent things like overheating, power loss, poor braking ability, and more. The signs you need a belt replacement are: • The engine is steaming. • A/C failure. • The feeling of something catching, vibrating, or slipping while driving. • Check engine lights or other dashboard lights turn on. • Leaks from your vehicle like brake fluid, coolant, fuel, etc. We have the tools and equipment to find any fluid leaks or significant belt wear and tear as well as diagnose if you have any hoses or belts that need replacing. Trust our technicians to get the job done right. Contact us today!

When it comes to the harsh winter season, the type of tires you have on your vehicle is important, especially where you drive. Winter tires are specifically engineered to have the best traction in the cold and are branded with a mountain accompanied by a snowflake. This symbol means the tire complies with severe snow standards. There are some all-weather tires that also are branded with the mountain and snowflake tamp as well. Why buy winter tires: • Prolonged life between summer and winter tires. • Better snow handling. • Incredible performance in the cold. Our tire professionals can help you find the tires that fit your needs and budget, whether you’re looking for designated summer and winter tire combos or an all-season tire. Contact us today!

Shocks and struts are the main components of the suspension system that stabilizes the vehicle when on uneven surfaces and keep your tires on the tires on the road, whether you’re turning, braking, or accelerating. Shocks absorb the bounce, which keeps your ride more comfortable on those bumpy roads. Signs of worn shocks and struts: • The vehicle is not level. • Tire bouncing. • Unstable highway handling. • Vehicle squatting. • Strange tire wear. • Fluid leaks near the shock and strut areas. Our technicians can efficiently remove and replace your old shocks and struts with quality and reliable new ones — returning your vehicle to a more stable and comfortable ride once more.

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!
