If your vehicle pulls to one side, if your steering wheel vibrates, or if your tires are wearing unevenly, it may be time for a wheel alignment. Regular alignments help ensure the longevity of your tires and improve overall driving performance.
Timing belts usually need to be replaced between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, depending on your vehicle’s make and model. If your timing belt is overdue or you hear unusual noises from the engine, it’s important to have it inspected. Replacing your timing belt before it fails can save you from costly engine repairs.
Yes, we offer services to help winterize your vehicle as well as prepare it for the hot summer months. For summer, we check your vehicle’s cooling system, air conditioning, tires, and battery to ensure it can handle the heat. Proper maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and ensures your car runs efficiently in both extreme cold and hot weather.
If you hear squeaking, grinding, or experience a longer stopping distance, it’s time for a brake check. Other signs of brake issues include vibrations in the pedal or steering wheel and a warning light on your dashboard. Don’t ignore these signs – timely brake service is essential for your safety.

It depends on your vehicle's make and model, but we recommend regular maintenance at least once a year or as per the manufacturer's recommendations. Keeping up with routine inspections can prevent more serious issues down the road. If you're planning to travel, it's also a good idea to schedule a service before hitting the road to ensure your vehicle is in top condition for a safe journey.
Your timing belt ensures that the engine’s valves and pistons work in sync. Over time, timing belts wear out, and if they break, it can lead to severe engine damage. We recommend replacing the timing belt at regular intervals to avoid costly repairs.
Front-end services include repairs and maintenance to components like the steering and suspension system, which are crucial for your vehicle's handling and ride quality. These parts not only affect the comfort of your ride but, more importantly, they play a vital role in your safety and the safety of your family. Properly maintained front-end components ensure better control of your vehicle, especially in emergency situations.
Regular maintenance, such as recharging refrigerant and inspecting the system for leaks, is essential for keeping your air conditioning running effectively, especially during warmer months.

A Licensed Inspection (CVIP) and Out-of-Province Inspection (OOPI) are mandatory in some situations, especially if you’re purchasing a used vehicle or moving to a new province. These inspections check your vehicle’s overall safety and compliance with regulations to ensure it’s roadworthy.
