Services available at this garage
Summer Maintenance Service
A summer maintenance service will assess and address any damage that winter left behind, and make sure your vehicle is prepared for anything summer can throw at it.
Suspension
Your suspension is vital to how your vehicle operates. It’s the system that sits between your car and the road and manages how your vehicle handles, stops, and steers.
Air Conditioning
If your A/C isn’t running like it used to, a professional air conditioning service will assess and address any potential issues and make sure your vehicle’s climate control is ready for any season.
Advanced safety systems
Today’s cars are equipped with technologies that are intended to help ease the burden of longer trips and keep you safe on the road. These features must not be forgotten when it comes to maintenance.
Check engine light
There are generally two reactions to an illuminated check engine light: people panic or just hope it goes away. Understandable but wrong. It could come on for anything from a serious engine or transmission problem to a loose gas cap. Best advice? See your NAPA AUTOPRO expert.
Hybrid vehicles
When it comes to engine oil changes, brake pad wear, transmission fluid, high-voltage battery packs, and electric motors, is there anything different about hybrid vehicle maintenance? Absolutely.
Timing belt
The timing belt synchronizes the timing of your vehicle’s combustion process by regulating piston and valve movements that let in air and fuel, allow the fuel to burn and then let out the exhaust. A broken or loose belt can cause problems.
Transmission
If you hear noises when the transmission shifts gears, smell burning, have trouble changing gears, or see red fluid leaking from under your car, a transmission inspection is needed immediately.
Steering
If you notice vibrations, “free play” or difficulty turning your steering wheel, a knocking noise, uneven tire wear, or your vehicle pulls to one side, it’s time to have your steering system inspected.
Spark plugs
Hard starts, engine misfiring, rough idle, slow acceleration, poor fuel economy... After thousands of kilometres, your spark plugs can become less efficient and need to be replaced.
Fuel system
In addition to supplying fuel to the engine, the fuel pump also includes a filter that removes dirt and contaminants. Without regular maintenance, your fuel consumption increases and the system could even fail.
Starter
If the only thing you hear when you turn the key in the ignition is a clicking, or if there’s whirring and grinding when starting up your car, your starter is done.
Car battery
Getting your battery checked and replaced with a battery that meets your vehicle’s specifications, CCA requirement and driving conditions will ensure years of trouble-free cranking.
Exhaust system
Aside from an increase in engine volume, if you see smoke, smell gas, feel vibrations, or if your check-engine light comes on, have your exhaust system inspected right away–for peace of mind and to save money.
Engine air filter
A clean engine air filter ensures no contaminant will enter your engine and assures the air/fuel blend is ideal for optimum gas mileage. When the filter is dirty, some fuel doesn’t burn, the engine becomes less efficient and gets clogged along with the exhaust system.
Spring maintenance service
After a tough or even mild winter, your vehicle will need some tender loving care to prepare it for spring driving. The maintenance may seem basic, but don’t skip this critical service opportunity to continue driving with peace of mind.
Winter maintenance service
Your vehicle is subjected to tough conditions all year round, and winter brings its own set of challenges that must be addressed with specific maintenance tasks.
Regular vehicle maintenance
Regular check-ups will assure your vehicle’s reliability, safety and ultimate value. A service every 6,000 km is recommended for all vehicles. Plus, we offer additional service packages.
Alternator
A weakened alternator won’t be able to supply enough power to start the car, recharge the battery or run electrical accessories. Your alternator should be regularly inspected.
Wheel bearings
A whining or grinding sound coming from under the car as you drive requires urgent maintenance. Your wheels could lock up, which could mean an expensive tow.
Headlight bulbs
Headlight bulbs dim or burn out. Whether you choose standard or much brighter halogen bulbs, always have both bulbs replaced or upgraded at the same time.
Tire rotation & balancing
Properly rotated and balanced tires last longer. Rotation assures treads wear evenly. Balancing avoids annoying vibrations with your vehicle on the road.
Exhaust & muffler
Exhausts may be better built these days, but a minimum of maintenance is a must. Get a NAPA AUTOPRO inspection and avoid expensive repairs.
Brake Service and Repair
Canadian roads are tough on brakes. Road salt, constant freeze-thaw cycles, and stop-and-go city driving all accelerate wear on your brake system. Knowing the basics of how your brakes work and what to watch for helps you stay ahead of problems before they become costly repairs or safety issues.
Oil change
Engine oil should be changed frequently to prevent power loss, avoid engine wear, combat rust and corrosion, and improve performance.
Wheel alignment
Poor alignment causes your steering wheel to vibrate or your car to pull to one side. Over time, it can cause your tires to wear quickly and unevenly.
