Q. How can I get better fuel mileage?

A. The brake rotors are likely warped and can lead to serious issues. See us as soon as possible.
Q. My "check engine" light is on. What should I do?
A. Let us check it for you as soon as possible, If the light is flashing, shut the car off and do not drive it. Call us to schedule a repair.
Q. How often should I have you rotate my tires?
A. Every 8,000 miles. But, if you notice uneven tire wear, then let us check them immediately to avoid tire damage.
Q. How often should I service my brakes?
A. Have them checked regularly when you have your tires rotated. See us if you hear or feel anything unusual when you brake or notice an indicator light on your instrument panel.
Q. My car is "squealing". What's going on?
A. Squealing noises may be caused by a belt or pully. Let us check it out for you.
Q. Why should I have my vehicle's alignment checked?
A. Better fuel economy, tire life and handling. Note: If your tires are wearing unevenly, it's a good idea to have the alignment checked before you have new tires put on so we can see the wear pattern and better diagnose what's causing the wear and "pull" when you're driving.
