Major Engine Repairs
Lets face it engines need a little TLC every now and then here at Affordable Auto Repair we can handle the heavy jobs that need a professional to get the job done right OR the smaller jobs you just don’t have time to complete.
Oil Changes
The oil in most vehicles should be changed every 3,000-5,000 miles. This might be lower than recommended by the manufacturer, but is vital to the life of today’s newer engines. When exactly you should have your oil changed is determined by the type of driving you do. For example, if you primarily drive in the city or you do heavy towing, you will want to change your oil every 3,000 miles
Car/Truck Brake Repair & Replacement
Many problems can exist in today’s brake systems by cutting corners in your repairs. A great portion of the cost of any brake repair is the materials. It is our philosophy to recommend only the highest quality parts. The difference in cost from average parts to high quality parts is not that great, but high quality parts will last longer and perform better.
Brakes-Inspection
We will inspect the brakes during every oil change. For continuing customers, we will inspect at the appropriate mileages. These inspections are performed free of charge.
Brakes-Wear
Many cars will have brake wear indicators. When your brake pads are wearing down, a small indicator will rub on the rotor. You will hear a high-pitched metal to metal sound. You have a limited time to address the brake wear until serious damage occurs.
Chassis Lube
This will be performed at every oil change. This is done to protect your ball joints, suspension and steering linkage.
Transmission Flush
This should be performed every 40,000-50,000 miles. We add a cleaning detergent to the old fluid and do a complete flush of the entire system, using up to 16 quarts of fluid. We complete the process by adding a conditioner to the new fluid. By maintaining your vehicle, you can save thousands of dollars in future repairs.
Air Conditioning
If your air conditioner is not working properly, we will check both the electrical components and Freon level. If the Freon level is low, we will perform a dye test to determine the location of any leaks. We will then make the repair recommendations to you.
Hoses
Most manufacturers recommend that the hoses be replaced every five years. These will also be inspected at every oil change as a preventative measure
Heater Core
If you notice the smell of anti-freeze in your vehicle or an oily film on the inside of your windows, you should have it checked immediately. Serious damage could occur by not addressing the problem due to coolant loss. We never recommend short-term “Band-Aid” solutions and always replace the damaged unit.
Coolant Flush
We recommend a coolant flush every other year. However, it could be more frequent depending on your driving habits. This is why we inspect the coolant at every oil change. Our coolant flushes include cleaning and conditioning detergents combined with a complete machine flush.
