We can evacuate Freon, test your cooling temperature, and do a visual inspection of drive belts, hoses, and pulleys. You should be advised that federal law prevents us from recharging Freon until every leak is repaired, given the environmental consequences of the refrigerant in question.
Automatic Transmission Services: When you have your automatic transmission fluid changed, it might improve the performance of your vehicle, even preventing costly repairs to your transmission. We can evacuate and/or drain automatic transmission fluid and then inspect your external components and seals. We’ll also remove and then clean the transmission pan and replace the gasket, while also checking any screens or filters before replacing the transmission fluid.

Schedule Maintenance Inspections: Every 30,000 miles, you need to get a factory scheduled inspection for the maintenance of your vehicle. The services we provide for these inspections vary based on how many miles you have accumulated so far, but all the inspections include certain elements.
