SD Auto Repair FAQ

Ask a Question

(203) 428-5017

 

How often should I get my oil changed?

Most vehicles require an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on the type of oil used and your car’s specific manufacturer recommendations. Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining engine health and preventing costly repairs.

How do I know if my brakes need to be replaced?

Common signs your brakes may need service include squeaking or grinding noises, a soft or spongy brake pedal, longer stopping distances, or your vehicle pulling to one side while braking. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your brakes inspected as soon as possible.

What does a tune-up include?

A tune-up typically involves inspecting and replacing key components like spark plugs, air filters, fuel filters, and ignition components. It’s designed to optimize your vehicle’s performance and fuel efficiency. We recommend scheduling a tune-up based on your vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines or when you notice a drop in performance.

What should I do if my car starts overheating?

If your car is overheating, pull over safely as soon as possible and turn off the engine to prevent further damage. Wait for the engine to cool down before checking the coolant level. If you’re unsure what to do, it’s best to contact a professional for assistance. Overheating issues are often related to the radiator or cooling system, which may need repair.

How can I tell if my shocks or suspension need repair?

Signs of suspension problems include excessive bouncing after hitting bumps, difficulty steering, uneven tire wear, or a “nose-dive” effect when braking. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s time to have your suspension checked by a professional.

What is a car diagnostic service?

A car diagnostic service uses specialized tools to check your vehicle’s internal systems for any issues. This includes checking the engine, transmission, electrical systems, and more. It’s an essential service for identifying problems early and preventing major repairs.

Why is regular maintenance important?

Regular maintenance, such as oil changes, brake checks, and tune-ups, helps prevent larger, more expensive repairs in the future. It also ensures your vehicle runs efficiently, saving you money on fuel and keeping you safe on the road.
