When left untreated rust may eventually destroy parts of the undercarriage and frame, which will lead to a very expensive repair and a dangerous condition.

TIMING BELTS

Recommended every 60,000 or 90,000 miles – A timing belt is an internal engine belt similar in appearance to a fan belt, which drives the engine’s camshaft and often turns the water pump. Because of its design, this belt wears over time and will need to be replaced. If neglected, this belt will eventually break leaving you stranded and can result in extensive costly engine damage.

For vehicles used for towing or hauling we recommend every replacing the transmission fluid more often, usually every 15,000 miles. This service preserves the proper function of the transmission and reduces internal wear.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Proper wheel alignment will increase tire life plus, maintain steering and braking performance.
