MAINTENANCE

We recommend routine vehicle maintenance, since this will prevent major breakdowns and costly

repairs; and therefore will save time and money, and prevent future inconveniences.

 

      TUNING & BRAKES

 

Keeping an engine in tune will enhance your fuel mileage and engine performance. We tune your vehicle to manufacturer recommendations. Inferior brakes can increase stopping distance. Therefore, brakes are very important to vehicle safety.​  Our brake service includes rotor and drum inspection to ensure minimum specifications. We use quality parts.



Tip: Clean oil reduces friction and increases gas mileage.  Lubrication is only a small part of oil function. The major function of oil is to keep your engine parts cool.

 

 


 
      CAR SERVICING
 

Routine maintenance should include oil change, coolant system service, power steering service, brake fluid service, differential service and transfer case service.

In addition, belts and hoses should be inspected routinely.  Tarheel Auto Service oil changes include oil and filter change, tire pressure checks, and greasing fittings.

 

Tip:  Keeping car tires at recommended tire pressure  will improve fuel economy and reduce wear.

 

       SUSPENSION
 

We can inspect your suspension for shocks, struts, ball joints, control arms, sway bars and bushings, springs, torsion bars, sway bar links, etc.  We then make appropriate recommendations for worn parts. ​​

​

Tip: Worn shocks and struts can greatly affect drivability and safety.
