The primary function of your car's suspension and steering systems is to allow the wheels to move independently of the car, while keeping it "suspended" and stable. Any play or uncontrolled motion in these systems results in a deterioration of handling and accelerated tire wear. Vehicle alignment is closely tied to the condition of the suspension and steering systems. Suspension System Worn or loose components affect the suspension system's ability to control motion and alignment angles, resulting in a deterioration of vehicle handling and stability, and accelerated tire wear. The main components of the suspension system are: Control Arms Ball Joints Springs (Coil or Leaf) Shock Absorbers Strut Suspension Systems Steering Systems 1. Steering Gear Box 2. Center Link 3. Pitman Arm 4. Idler Arm 5. Tie Rods 6 Rack and Pinion Assembly 7. Bellows Boots 8. Tie Rods Suspension Systems 9. Control Arms 10. Ball Joints 11. Springs 12. Shock Absorbers ...

Your exhaust system is more than a muffler, it is a series of pipes that run under your car, connected with your muffler and your catalytic converter. The main function of your exhaust system is to control noise and to funnel exhaust fumes away from passengers. In some ways, a car's exhaust system works like a chimney on your house, directing the byproducts from burning fuel away from the people inside. A car's exhaust system routes waste gases from the engine to the rear of the car, where they are discharged into the atmosphere. Exhaust gases contain dangerous substances such as carbon monoxide, which can be hazardous if allowed to flow into the passenger housing of the car. The exhaust system also converts pollutants into less harmful byproducts, reduces the noise of the engine, and directs exhaust gases so they can be used to heat air and fuel before they go into the engine's cylinders to be burned. Finally, the exhaust system provides just the right amount of bac...

In order to meet Federal Exhaust Emission and Fuel Economy regulations, today's vehicles are equipped with highly sophisticated electronic engine control systems . These systems do not require periodic adjustments. The only services required on a scheduled basis are spark plug and filter replacement. Tune-ups, as we knew them, are no longer necessary. Engine Control Computer The computer receives information from a network of sensors and switches that convert engine operating conditions into electrical signals. Based on the information and instructions stored in the computer program, commands are then sent to three primary systems: Ignition System Fuel System Emission Control System The sensors that monitor one or more of these systems include Mass Airflow Sensor Throttle Position Sensor Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Coolant Temperature Sensor Exhaust Oxygen Sensor Crankshaft Position Sensor Camshaft Position Sensor Engine Diagram Engine Diagram Mass Airf...

What is it? Essentially, alignment refers to the way your car's wheels are positioned. Ideally, your wheels should be parallel and facing forward. How could it go wrong? Everything from components wearing out to a bump in the road can cause your wheels to shift out of alignment. This could result in one of three different problems: Camber:The wheels are tilted either inward or outward. This will create pulling and tire wear. Toe:A change in the distance between the front and back of the rear tires. This will wear on the tires, too. Caster:A backward or forward tilt at the top of the wheel's spindle support arm. This will cause either loose or difficult steering. How does it work? When your wheels are properly aligned, you'll get better gas mileage; your tires will last longer; steering will be easier; your ride will be smoother; and, most importantly, the drive will be safer. How do you recognize a problem? Several ways: is your steering wheel straight when...

What Our ASE Certified Technicians Do The following components are inspected. Their condition is recorded and compared to manufacturer's specs. Recommendations are made per the Motorist Assurance Program Uniform Inspection Guidelines: Disc Brakes Disc brake rotors Disc brake pads Calipers Caliper hardware Drum Brakes Brake drums Brake shoes Wheel cylinders Return springs & hardware Hydraulic System Master cylinder Brake fluid Brake hoses/lines Power booster Parking Brake Cables Adjustment Braking SystemThe brake system is actually composed of two kinds of systems---Hydraulics and Friction Materials. Here's what happens within these systems between the time your foot hits the brake pedal and your car stops. Hydraulics Master Cylinder When pressure is applied to the brake pedal, the master cylinder creates hydraulic pressure which pushes brake fluid to the wheel brakes. Brake Lines and Hoses Steel brake lines and high pressure rubber hoses are...
