Why do I need to change my transmission fluid?
You should change your transmission fluid every 30,000 miles on average. Some vehicles mileage intervals vary. The reason why you should change your transmission fluid is because the fluid that makes it work is also the fluid it uses for lubrication.

How often should I have my coolant flushed?
Usually once a year. It depends on how bad the anti corrosive inhibitors have broken down. When they do, it causes deterioration of cooling system components. We test every vehicle that comes into our shop for the condition of the antifreeze.

Does the power steering fluid ever need changing?
Yes. A power steering system does not come with a filter to remove contaminants that collect in the fluid. There is not a particular time frame on when it should be changed, you have to go by a visual look at the fluid. If not changed when needed, it will shorten the life of power steering components which can be costly. Every vehicle that comes through our shop gets the power steering fluid condition & level checked.

How often should I have my brake fluid flushed?
At least once every 2 years. Brake fluid has anti corrosive inhibitors in it that break down over time. Brake fluid will also absorb moisture, like a sponge. With moisture in your system & anti corrosive inhibitors not doing their job, it will deteriate the hydraulic part of brake systems. This could result in a dangerous condition if it causes brake failure.

What is a cabin filter?
A lot of cars on the road today have an air filter for the heating/air conditioning system of the car. It is like the filter for home heating & air conditioning systems - only smaller. It should be replaced every 15,000 miles or every 12 months. If neglected long enough without changing, this could cause A/C system damage as well as it is bad air you are putting out through the air vents in your car. Not all cars are equipped with cabin air filters, but if yours is, it needs to be serviced on a regular interval.

Why do I need clean fuel injectors?
Fuel injectors deliver the fuel inside the engine at precise amounts depending on what the computer tells it. When injectors become partially clogged, it causes driving problems, poor gas mileage & sometimes causes the Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light to come on. Cleaning injectors every 30,000 miles keeps the injectors working efficiently.
