LUBE OIL FILTER | FIXED RIGHTLUBE OIL FILTER

WHY
Removes contamination in your oil that could damage your engine and can help keep you vehicle in good running condition.

WHAT

  • Drain engine oil.
  • Change oil filter.
  • Lubricate suspension if required.
  • Refill engine with proper grade & amount of oil.
  • Reset reminder if vehicle so equipped.
  • Place reminder sticker on windshield.
  • Check lights, windshield wipers & windshield washer.
  • Check coolant level & strength.
  • Check belts & hoses.
  • Check all other fluid levels.
  • Check air filter & cabin air filter.
  • Check suspension, exhaust & drive shafts.
  • Check air pressure in tires.
  • Check need for tire rotation & rotate if required.
  • Brake inspection done upon request.

WHEN
Every 3 months or 5,000kms for most vehicles using conventional oil (ie. not synthetic).

DID YOU KNOW?

  • A dirty engine air filter can reduce your fuel mileage by 10%.
  • A dirty cabin air filter can affect the amount of heating or cooling you receive in the passenger compartment.
  • Some vehicles have extended intervals based on oil type or driving style. 

COOLANT FLUSH | FIXED RIGHTCOOLANT FLUSH

WHY
To remove rust, scale, lime & sludge and replenish lubricants & corrosion inhibitors in the antifreeze which helps protect the water pump, radiator, heater core & heater hoses.

WHAT

  • Flush the engine, radiator & heater core in both directions.
  • Bring antifreeze to -35 ° F freeze protection.
  • Balance ph level (non acidic).
  • Visually inspect cooling fan and heater for proper operation .
  • Check belts & hoses.

WHEN
Every 2 yrs or 45,000km.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Extends the life of all cooling system components.
  • Reduces temperature of not only cooling system but transmission & A/C systems too, thereby extending the life of these systems.
  • Cooling system failure / overheating is one of the major causes of roadside failure.

ALIGNMENT | FIXED RIGHTALIGNMENT

WHY

  • Increase tire life.
  • Better fuel mileage.
  • Improved handling.
  • Safer driving.

WHAT

  • Adjust the angles of the front wheels in relationship to the rear wheels.
  • The 3 major angles that are adjusted are caster, camber & toe; front & rear.

WHEN
Every 12 months or 25,000km.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Many front wheel drive vehicles require a 4-wheel alignment.
  • Many of today’s vehicles require steering angle sensor recalibration after an alignment to ensure the stability control operates properly.

TRANSMISSION SERVICE | FIXED RIGHTTRANSMISSION SERVICE

WHY
Under normal driving conditions heat & oxidation cause deterioration of the fluid while abrasives & contaminants increase, thereby reducing the life of your transmission.

WHAT

  • Drain fluid.
  • Remove pan.
  • Inspect contents of pan to determine transmission condition.
  • Replace filter.
  • Clean pan.
  • Replace pan with new gasket & torque to specifications.
  • Refill transmission with proper fluid type & capacity.

WHEN
Every 50,000km.


BRAKE FLUID SERVICE | FIXED RIGHTBRAKE FLUID SERVICE

WHY

  • Fluid becomes contaminated.
  • Fluid absorbs moisture & can rust brake system components from inside.
  • Brake fluid can also break down from excess heat that is created from within the brake system.

WHAT

  • Opening of all bleeders at the wheels & allowing the old fluid to drain while filling the master cylinder with clean new fluid of the appropriate type.
  • Once the fluid runs clear then closing bleeders.
  • bleed brakes
  • Check the quality of the brake pedal feel.
  • Double check level & test drive.

WHEN
Every 50,000km.


FUEL INDUCTION CLEAN-UP SERVICE | FIXED RIGHTFUEL INDUCTION CLEAN-UP SERVICE

 

WHY

  • Increase fuel mileage
  • Deposits accumulate on intake valves, injectors, ports and combusion chambers causing loss of power, rought idle, hesitation, misfire, pinging, knocking, poor mileage and hard starting & increased emissions.
  • Improves driveability.
  • Reduces emissions.
  • Restores horsepower.

WHAT

  • Use a chemical to remove deposits around throttle plate, intake plenum, intake valves and combustion chambers.
  • Use another chemical to clean injectors & entire fuel system.

WHEN
Every 50,000km.


TIRE ROTATION | FIXED RIGHTTIRE ROTATION

WHY

  • To promote even wear on all four tires to maximize tire life.

WHAT

  • Changing the position of the tires by removing rims and repositioning on the vehicle

WHEN

  • Every 5,000 to 10,000 km

DID YOU KNOW?

  • When rotating tires on a vehicle with a tire pressure monitor system some vehicles sensors have to relearn the position of the tire.

TRANSFER CASE SERVICE | FIXED RIGHTTRANSFER CASE SERVICE

WHY

  • To remove broken down or contaminated fluid. 
  • Helps to protect internal gears and chains. 
  • Remove metal particles that are created as the gears wear.

WHAT

  • Drain fluid and replace with manufacturer’s recommended fluid type and quantity

WHEN

  • Every 50,000km or 2 years.

TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT | FIXED RIGHTTIMING BELT REPLACEMENT

WHY

  • To increase mechanical efficiency of the engine and to prevent costly breakdowns.
  • Correct ignition timing has an impact on fuel economy, engine performance and emissions.

WHAT

  • Remove engine timing cover and accessories to access timing belt.
  • Ensure all pulleys and tensioner are in good working condition.
  • Remove timing belt.
  • Ensure correct cam timing.
  • Install new timing belt.
  • Re-assemble and test.

WHEN

 

 

 

DID YOU KNOW?

  • On vehicles that have a water pump driven by the timing belt the manufacturer recommends changing the water pump as well.



TUNE-UP | FIXED RIGHTTUNE-UP

WHY

  • To maintain optimum performance and fuel economy.

WHAT

  • Replace worn spark plugs
  • Check air filter, replace if necessary
  • Check fuel filters, replace if necessary.
  • Check emission components and replace as needed.

WHEN

  • Vehicles vary but normally in the 80,000km to 100,000km range.
