FAQs

If you've got questions, we've got answers. Here is our response to some of the most common questions our local auto shop customers ask.
What are general signs of car trouble?
Some common signs that your car may need repair include strange noises, warning lights on the dashboard, reduced fuel efficiency, vibrations while driving, fluid leaks under the vehicle, or difficulty starting. If you notice any of these issues, bring your car to our shop in North Brunswick for professional diagnostics.
What is auto maintenance and why is it important?
Auto maintenance refers to routine services like oil changes, tire rotations, fluid flushes, filter replacements, and factory 30/60/90K service. These preventative steps keep your car reliable, improve performance, and prevent costly breakdowns. Regular maintenance also helps protect your investment and ensures your vehicle is road-ready.
Why does my car need oil changes so often?
Engine oil lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, and prevents overheating. Over time, oil breaks down and collects dirt, which makes it less effective. That’s why most vehicles need an oil change every few thousand miles. Whether you use conventional or synthetic oil, our team can help determine the right schedule for your car.
What are the signs of brake trouble?
If your brakes squeal, grind, or feel spongy when you press the pedal, it may be time for service. Other signs include longer stopping distances, a vibrating brake pedal, or a dashboard warning light. Our brake repair services cover everything from new brake pads and rotors to a complete brake job, ensuring your car stops safely.
