Services available at this garage
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.
Suspension
If your vehicle bottoms out when accelerating or slumps forward when stopping; if the steering and handling feel loose; or if you’re noticing premature tire wear, your suspension probably needs maintenance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Brakes
If your brake pedal feels spongy or pulsates, the brakes grind or squeal, the wheels or steering wheel vibrate, or the vehicle shakes when braking, get immediate service.
Oil change
Engine oil should be changed frequently to prevent power loss, avoid engine wear, combat rust and corrosion, and improve performance.
