Check Engine Light Service
Your dashboard is the way your vehicle communicates with you, from informing you that needing more windshield wiper fluid to low fuel; however, some lights may not be as straightforward as the others. Your check engine light, also known as the service light, tells you when something may be or is wrong with your vehicle. If this light is flashing, immediate attention is needed. The signs you need diagnostics are: • Service light continuously stays on. • Service light is flashing. • Abnormal vehicle sounds when the service light is on. Our technicians can perform a full diagnosis of your service light and come up with a plan to have the issue taken care of and the code reset and removed. For a complete service light diagnostic solution, contact us today! -
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
The TPMS monitors your tire pressure in real-time to always report if your tires are ready for the road or low on pressure. This system consists of a sensor that can connect to dashboard lights that illuminate when there are potentially unsafe driving conditions. Having your sensor replaced when getting new tires is not required but often helps sustain the life of the TPMS. Signs your TPMS is going out: • Misreading tie pressure. • Malfunctioning. • Loss of fuel economy. • Tire pressure light with proper tire pressure. Our technicians can diagnose to see if the TPMS sensor is going out or if it’s another electrical component that is affecting it. We can replace the sensor or the entire system. Contact us today! -
Suspension Service
The suspension is a large system that singlehandedly keeps your vehicle ride comfortable. This system is made up of springs, shock absorbers, tires, and even tire air, all of which contribute to the suspension system. This system ensures a smooth ride by absorbing the impacts from bumps in the road. A damaged suspension can lead to the loss of control over your vehicle. Signs you need suspension service: • Bumpy and uncomfortable ride. • Uneven tire treads. • Uneven vehicle body. • Unstable vehicle body. • Uneven steering. Our technicians can diagnose what part of the suspension system needs attending to, whether it’s the shocks and struts, tires, or if the wheels are out of alignment. Contact us today for all your suspension needs! -
Fuel Filter
The duty of the fuel filter is to screen out unwanted particles that may be in with the fuel to ensure that the fuel that reaches the engine is clean and free of these harmful particles. Fuel filter replacement is regular maintenance that aids in your vehicle’s lifespan and overall efficiency. Signs you need a fuel filter replacement: • Difficulty starting your vehicle. • Components in your fuel system start failing. • Loud noises from your fuel pump. • Rough idling and misfiring. • Vehicle stalling. Our technicians can diagnose to see if you are in need of a new fuel filter. Ask about a fuel filter replacement the next time you stop in for scheduled maintenance. Contact us today! -
Serpentine Belt
The serpentine is a long belt that mobilizes and delivers power to components in the engine like the alternator, water pump, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, and air pump. These belts on average can last between 50,000–100,000 miles but can depend on the vehicle, conditions, and the amount you drive. Having this belt inspected during maintenance check-ups can prevent more serious problems. Signs your serpentine belt needs replacing: • Strained or tight steering. • The physical belt is cracked. • Vehicle overheating. • High pitch squealing sounds from the engine. • Air conditioning is not working. Our technicians have the skills and tools to replace and secure your new serpentine belt and make sure further damage was not done. Contact us today! -
Belts and Hoses Service
There are two important types of belts in your vehicle, which are your timing belt and serpentine belts. Timing belts are vital for your engine to start and function as it transfers the power from the camshaft to power the crankshaft; if this belt were to break, your engine would immediately stop working. Serpentine belts are often called drive belts and power different components within your vehicle like the radiator, power steering pump, A/C compressor, alternator, and more. Hoses play another vital part in your vehicle’s efficiency. Types of hoses are fuel hoses, brake hoses, coolant/radiator hoses, power steering hoses, and heater hoses. Hoses are essential for transferring coolant and other fluids through your vehicle to prevent things like overheating, power loss, poor braking ability, and more. The signs you need a belt replacement are: • The engine is steaming. • A/C failure. • The feeling of something catching, vibrating, or slipping while driving. • Check engine lights or other dashboard lights turn on. • Leaks from your vehicle like brake fluid, coolant, fuel, etc. We have the tools and equipment to find any fluid leaks or significant belt wear and tear as well as diagnose if you have any hoses or belts that need replacing. Trust our technicians to get the job done right. Contact us today! -
Wheel Balancing
Wheel balancing is a process of distributing the weight of the tire and wheel assembly evenly when traveling at high speeds. This process required the wheel to be removed from the vehicle and placed on our wheel balancer and spun to decide where the weight should be distributed to. It’s common for a tire to become unbalanced after hitting a large pothole, curb, or if you leave your vehicle parked for extended periods of time. Signs you need wheel balancing: • Steering wheel vibration. • Vibration in the seats or floorboards. • Uneven tread wear. Our technicians efficiently remove and remount your tires professionally, which prolongs the life of your tires and makes your ride more comfortable. Contact us today! -
Lift Kits
These specialized kits are a modification to increase the distance between your vehicle and the road, whether you’re doing it for aesthetics or off-roading. A lift kit raises the body of the vehicle to increase the separation of a vehicle’s body and axel. This modification is most common in trucks and SUVs. What to check before lifting your vehicle: • State laws and regulations. • Garage height. • Insurance policies. • Vehicle warranties. Our technicians have the skills, tools, and equipment to professionally install the modification, which saves you time. Contact us today for more information and kit options!

Yelp Review"We need to have a section of the exhaust repaired on our 2016 Ford Explorer. It was damaged during a recent snow storm. South County Auto Repair quickly ordered the correct part and installed it. Took less than 5 hours in total. The Explorer is running as it was prior to the repair. Excellent service and experience."
