Question 1

30K,60K,90K Preventative Car Maintenance Check/Factory Scheduled Maintenance

Accepted Answer

Manufacturers often have routine service schedules applicable based on a vehicle’s age and mileage. Some of the more common intervals recur every 30,000 miles. A 30/60/90K service check up is designed to address maintenance and inspection items applicable to the respective mileage interval. Generally, these items may include filter changes, fluid changes and a comprehensive visual maintenance inspection as well as other items, depending on the specific mileage interval. Most modern vehicles will have received several major service requirements at 90,000 miles. Some however, may not require some of these items (Timing Belts, for example) until the next interval of 120,000 miles or beyond. We also recommend performing routine maintenance services at this time as well including an oil change, tire rotation, fluid top off and more.

Question 2

A/C System

Accepted Answer

AC System services include evacuation & recharge. We use only R134 for freon.  When you car begins blowing warm air instead of cold air in the summertime this is when it is time to have your vehicle’s AC system inspected for any leaks or damages. You may need just a recharge to get that cool air blowing once again.

We have the capability to do 2 or 4 wheel alignments.

Question 5

Drivetrain

Accepted Answer

A car’s drivetrain connects the engine to the wheels enabling the vehicle to move. As the engine runs, the drivetrain helps send power through the transmission to the drive wheels. The drive wheels can be either the front wheels, rear wheels, or all the wheels — also known as front-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drive.  Components included in the drivetrain include the Transmission, Driveshaft, CV Joint, U Joint, Differentials & Axle Shafts.

Question 6

Multi-Point Inspection

Accepted Answer

TH Auto offers a thorough multi point inspection to address any concerns you may have and also ensure your vehicle is running at top performance. A multi-point inspection is important whether your car is new or old. It is one of the best forms of maintenance, alongside regular oil changes and tire rotations. While oil and fluid checks are also part of the process, multi-point inspections help technicians spot everything from brake issues to worn belts and hoses. The purpose of a multi-point inspection is to check a variety of key areas where vehicles are most likely to show signs of wear. Addressing these areas helps to ensure the vehicle is at optimal performance and that its longevity can be improved. Thorough inspections generally include Fluids, Tires, Brakes, Belts/hoses, shocks/structs & exhaust system.

Question 7

Oil Change

Accepted Answer

One of the most basic & routine maintenance items on your vehicle is an oil change. We recommend every 3-5K miles you get an oil change depending on the type of oil you use.   Standard (Regular): Conventional oils are mineral-based products refined from crude oil taken from the ground. The term “synthetic”, however, does not imply that the oil is somehow created from man-made ingredients. Synthetic: Synthetic oil is made from natural ingredients using a special chemical process.

Question 8

Steering

Accepted Answer

A vehicle's steering system is a vital part of a vehicle's ability to move. The main functions of the steering system is to provide vehicle turning per will of the driver, directional stability, it converts the rotary movement of the steering wheel into an angular turn of front wheels, and absorbs road shock from being transmitted to a driver's hands.   A motor vehicle's steering system contains the following basic parts: Steering wheel, Steering shaft and Column, Tie rods, rack, idler arms, Pitman arm, and drag or center link.

Question 9

Suspension

Accepted Answer

We can replace shocks, struts, sway bar links, stabilizer bars, control arms & bushings for front & rear suspension. We typically recommend an alignment after suspension work has been completed to ensure your vehicle is running properly again.

Question 10

Water Pump

Accepted Answer

The water pump pushes coolant from the radiator through the coolant system, into the engine and back around to the radiator. The heat that the coolant picked up from the engine is transferred to the air at the radiator. Without the water pump, the coolant just sits in the system. The engine is likely to overheat, which can cause serious engine damage. Water pumps have a life span and should be replaced at the interval your owner's manual suggests.
