Prevent Breakdowns Before They Happen
The cheapest repair is the one you never have to make. Regular maintenance — factory-scheduled 30k, 60k, and 90k mile services — catches wear on belts, hoses, filters, and fluids before those parts fail on your drive to work. At our New Britain shop, we follow the schedule your manufacturer wrote, not an inflated “shop schedule” designed to sell services.
What Factory-Scheduled Maintenance Covers
Every 30,000 miles or so, most vehicles need a specific set of preventative work. It might include:
- Engine air filter and cabin air filter replacement
- Fuel filter replacement (on vehicles with a service interval)
- Coolant flush and refill
- Transmission fluid service (or full flush)
- Power steering and brake fluid service
- Spark plug replacement (typical intervals 60k–100k miles)
- Serpentine belt and hose inspection
- Full multi-point Performance Review
We look up your exact vehicle’s schedule — make, model, year, mileage — and quote only what’s actually due. No pressure to add “recommended” services that aren’t in the manual.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Thinking of buying a used car? Bring it to us first. We put it on a lift, scan for hidden trouble codes (some sellers reset the check-engine light before showing), check the frame and undercarriage for damage or heavy rust, verify fluid conditions, and inspect all safety systems. You leave with a written report and the peace of mind to buy — or the ammunition to walk away.
Free Multi-Point Performance Review
Every maintenance visit at our New Britain shop includes a free Performance Review — a multi-point inspection that flags tire wear, brake pad thickness, fluid levels, battery health, and belt/hose condition. It’s how we’ve built a 30-year reputation for honest service: we catch small issues while they’re still cheap to fix.
