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.
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.
Air conditioning
Even if your air conditioning still cools your vehicle, the signs that it is not performing properly include a lack of freshness, strange noises, odours, condensation in the cabin, oil or refrigerant leaks…
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.
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.
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.
