Maintenance
Maintenance is an important part of a car's life. Just like yourself the better you take care of your self the better you feel. The same goes for your car. You should ALWAYS keep a log of the vehicle's scheduled maintenance. Oil changes, tire rotation, breaks and all that fun stuff. If you dont have a log or would like to start one we provide the service to get you started. We can give your vehicle a complete inspection and start form there. Please call to book your inspection for your car you will be amazed to see what needs to be serviced.
​​ TUNING
​
There are TWO types of TUNE UPS. Basic & Complete. The basic consist of spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap & rotor (if equiped) PCV (positive crankcase ventalation) valve, fuel filter and the air filter. The Basic tune up is best for newer cars or vehicle's with low miles.

A complete TUNE UP is : New spark plugs, cap & rotor, ignition wires, cleaning the throttle body, check all hoses and belts, air filter, PCV valve, fuel filter, check all fluids, check breaks for wear, check and grease front suspension and stearing, adjust timing, valve adjustment if needed
BRAKES
Frictional brakes are most common and can be divided broadly into "shoe" or "pad" brakes, using an explicit wear surface, and hydrodynamic brakes, such as parachutes, which use friction in a working fluid and do not explicitly wear.Typically the term "friction brake" is used to mean pad/shoe brakes and excludes hydrodynamic brakes, even though hydrodynamic brakes use friction.
Friction (pad/shoe) brakes are often rotating devices with a stationary pad and a rotating wear surface. Common configurations include shoes that contract to rub on the outside of a rotating drum, such as a band brake; a rotating drum with shoes that expand to rub the inside of a drum, commonly called a "drum brake", although other drum configurations are possible; and pads that pinch a rotating disc, commonly called a "disc brake". Other brake configurations are used, but less often.
-
Fade – As a brake heats, it may become less effective, called brake fade. Some designs are inherently prone to fade, while other designs are relatively immune. Further, use considerations, such as cooling, often have a big effect on fade.
-
Smoothness – A brake that is grabby, pulses, has chatter, or otherwise exerts varying brake force may lead to skids. For example, railroad wheels have little traction, and friction brakes without an anti-skid mechanism often lead to skids, which increases maintenance costs and leads to a "thump thump" feeling for riders inside.
WHEELS & SUSPENSION
The job of a car suspension is to maximize the friction between the tires and the road surface, to provide steering stability with good handling and to ensure the comfort of the passengers. In this article, we'll explore how car suspensions work, how they've evolved over the years and where the design of suspensions is headed in the future.
If a road were perfectly flat, with no irregularities, suspensions wouldn't be necessary. But roads are far from flat. Even freshly paved highways have subtle imperfections that can interact with the wheels of a car. It's these imperfections that apply forces to the wheels. According to Newton's laws of motion, all forces have both magnitude and direction. A bump in the road causes the wheel to move up and down perpendicular to the road surface. The magnitude, of course, depends on whether the wheel is striking a giant bump or a tiny speck. Either way, the car wheel experiences a vertical acceleration as it passes over an imperfection.
