Timing Belt Replacement
The timing belt or timing chain is a crucial part of your vehicle that keeps the internal combustion engine operating. This unit times and synchronizes engine valves to open and close with the position of the pistons at the precise time. Sings you need a new timing belt/chain: • Oil pressure is low. • Engine won’t turn over. • Ticking noises in the engine. • Hard idling. • Engine misfire. Our technicians can diagnose and replace the timing belt with a new and reliable one; we can also inspect the vehicle to make sure that is no other damage done, ensuring your vehicle is safe for the road once more. Contact us today! -
Air Conditioning Service
The air conditioning unit is a combination of various components that work together to keep you cool even on the hottest of days. It is important to get regular maintenance and inspections to ensure optimal efficiency. The signs your air conditioning needs service are: • Vents are blowing warm air even on a cool setting. • Vent settings are not adjusting correctly. • The inside of the vehicle is only slightly cooler than the outside. • Strange sounds are coming from your A/C unit. We have the tools and equipment to check any efficiency or component problems like refrigerant leaks, fan issues, compressor problems, A/C clutch replacements, and more. Trust our technicians to get the job done right. Contact us today! -
Digital Inpections
Digital inspections are a multi-point inspection that shows not only the technician what is wrong with your vehicle but sends you details information and photos of worn-out or broken parts of your vehicle and even systems that need service. The proof is in your hands. What we provide: • An interactive repair that displays photos, descriptions, and rating systems to help you make the next service options based on your needs and budget. • Estimate how much that service will cost. Our technicians will look over your vehicle with a sharp eye in addition to digitally providing you with the information you need to schedule your next service with us. 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! -
Engine Air Filter
The engine air filter is located at the front of the engine compartment and its function is to trap outside debris like bugs, dirt, and sand before it ends up in the engine, allowing only clean air into the heart of your vehicle. Signs you need a new engine air filter: • Low horsepower. • Sooty, black smoke emitting from the exhaust pipe. • Smell of fuel when starting your vehicle. • Physical filter looks dirty. • Check Engine Light is on. We have the skills to check and inform you of your engine air filter’s performance and inform you if the unit needs to be replaced. For an engine air filter replacement with your next scheduled maintenance, call 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! -
Fluid Inspection
Your vehicle has various types of fluids that circulate within it to ensure reliability, such as brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, windshield washer fluid, engine oil, and coolant/antifreeze; however, these fluids can decrease over time and get dirty. A fluid flush will remove all the unwanted fluid and replace the dirty fluid with clean fluids for better vehicle performance. Signs you need a fluid inspection: • Colored fluid leaking from your vehicle. • Illuminated dashboard lights. • Strange odors from your vehicle while on or off. Our team has the skills to check and ensure your vehicle fluids are clean and at the right level, as well as inspect if your fluid lines are intact or need to be replaced and then flush them when they are dirty. 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!

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."
