Oil & Lube

Vehicle Oil & Lubrication

If you don't change your oil frequently enough, it can thicken into a sludgy mess. This allows dirt, acids, and other contaminants to accumulate and degrade critical engine components.

Sludgy oil forces your engine to work harder, run hotter, lose power, and reduce your fuel efficiency.  Given today's high gas prices, it's wise to get regular oil changes.

Clean oil will keep your engine running longer and smoother.

Certain vehicles require lubrication of joints and bearings. By reducing friction and wear, it allows your vehicle to operate at peak efficiency, ensuring your vehicle's vital parts stay in top shape for years to come.

No matter what you drive,  regular maintenance is key to longevity and fewer repairs, over the life of your vehicle.

Tires & Alignment

Tires & Vehicle Alignment

Maintaining proper tire inflation is crucial. Underinflated tires can compromise vehicle control, reduce fuel efficiency, and even lead to tire failure.

Vibrations can stem from various mechanical issues, such as misaligned wheels or a bent rim. However, they may also indicate tire damage.  If you experience any vibrations or hear any unsual noises, it is recommended to have your vehicle inspected.

Signs of Tire Wear:

Z

Tread Wear

Most manufacturers and some provincial laws recommend replacing your tires when the tread depth reaches 4/32" in winter and 2/32" in summer. Once your tires wear down to those levels, they are considered bald and pose a safety risk.

Z

Uneven Tread Wear

Uneven tire tread can result from various factors, including wear on one side, improper inflation, suspension issues, and misaligned wheels. Flat spots on the tread may also indicate a problem with the tire.  

Z

Tire Aging & Defects

Cracked or sliced sidewalls, bumps and blisters are all signs of damage, which can lead to tire failure. For the safety of you and your family, have your tires inspected regularly.

Z

Alignment

Signs that your vehicle needs an alignment include:

• Uneven tread wear on your tires
• Front-end shimmies or vibrates after hitting a bump
• Vehicle pulling to the left or right
• Steering wheel is off center when driving straight
• Steering wheel vibration

First, our expert technicians will diagnose any issues causing your vehicle's misalignment and recommend any necessary part replacements. They will then use advanced equipment to precisely measure your vehicle's alignment, including toe, thrust, camber, and caster angles. Finally, they will make careful adjustments to the steering and suspension components to bring the alignment back within the manufacturer's specifications.

The result is a vehicle that drives straight and feels stable, with tires that last longer and wear more evenly.
