Factory Recommended Maintenance
Most of us are aware that the manufacturers of our new or used cars
have specified "recommended" and in some cases "required" maintenance
services for our vehicles. The purposes of these services are to help
ensure prolonged vehicle reliability. The little secret that many
people are not aware of is that you are not required to return to the
dealer. Any qualified automotive repair specialist can perform these
services.
Yorba Linda Auto Service has been providing our customers with
quality "Factory Recommended" or "Scheduled Maintenance" for many
years, usually at a significant savings from what the dealer would
charge for these same services.
Here are just a few of the services available:
Hybrid Service
Our team has been trained to handle all aspects of repair on hybrid gas-electric cars.
Engine Diagnostic Service
Ever have that "Check Engine" light come on at the dash? Maybe the
engine just isn't running quite right? Fuel mileage not what it used to
be? In any event, Yorba Linda Auto Service can help get to the bottom
of those annoying "drivability" concerns. Yorba Linda Auto Service
utilizes the latest in diagnostic and information systems and highly
skilled technicians to quickly diagnose and repair your concerns.
Fuel and Intake System Service
Utilizing BG® 3-part specialized cleaning system process, we will
clean not only the injectors but the entire fuel intake system helping
to provide better fuel economy & power. A good idea with today's
fuel costs. Recommended every 30,000 miles.
Cooling System Service
Chemically flush cooling system & add BG® conditioner to help
keep this vital system protected against the deposits & corrosion
that can develop over time.
Automatic Transmission
Add BG® chemical cleaner to transmission prior to flushing. Flush
transmission fluid & add BG® conditioner. This service completely
exchanges the transmission fluid providing fresh additives for tip-top
transmission protection & operation.
Power Steering System
This service provides excellent protection of this vital control
system by chemically flushing & exchanging the power steering fluid
using BG® cleaner & specialized fluid.
Some of these services can even provide additional warranty coverage for your vehicle!
Brake Service & Repair
The braking system of your car is one of its most vital safety
features. Failure to stop could mean… well you know what it could mean.
Yorba Linda Auto Service performs a comprehensive brake inspection
before we recommend any brake related repairs. This inspection includes
checking the condition of the brake fluid itself as well as the
mechanical and electronic components of the brake system. The fluid is
the brake system's "life's blood" and is susceptible to moisture
collection and contamination which can damage the sensitive Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) components.
We are capable of providing superior brake repairs and service but
we also believe that flushing the brake fluid regularly is a must on
today's sophisticated brake systems.
Tune-Up
Quite often, a customer will call and ask for a "Tune-Up" believing
that this is the "fix" for a poor running engine, a check engine light,
etc. Although in some cases, replacing the spark plugs may repair a
poor running engine, it quite often makes no difference simply because
it is not the cause of the problem at hand. If you have an engine
running problem, we would be happy to help, but we recommend beginning
with some basic engine diagnosis. Although, the term "Tune-Up" no
longer means what it used to; it is still a term that we use to refer
to ignition maintenance related services (replacement of spark plugs,
etc.). Most vehicle owner's manuals specify the appropriate interval
for replacement of the spark plugs, etc. and we believe that the best
course of action is to follow these recommendations called "Recommended
Maintenance" or "Scheduled Maintenance".
Transmission Repair/Replacement
Have an automatic transmission? No problem.
Have a manual (stick) transmission? No problem.
The transmissions of today are much more sophisticated than in years
past and require an intimate knowledge of both the mechanical as well
as the electronic (computer controlled) systems for proper diagnosis
& repair. Yorba Linda Auto Service has both the latest training and
information systems as well as State-of-the-Art diagnostic equipment to
quickly and efficiently diagnose and repair your vehicle.
Also note that many of the transmissions we supply also come with extended warranties of up to 3 years or 100,000 miles!
Clutch Replacement
Many customers assume that when the clutch doesn't seem to work
properly, it’s time for a new clutch. Although this may be true in some
cases, we find that there are often other issues that may not require
such extensive repair. Yorba Linda Auto Service begins with a
comprehensive inspection of the clutch system to determine the source
of the problem and therefore can recommend the proper repair. In some
cases, the problem may only be a clutch hydraulic component failure
such as a clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder. In other cases the
clutch may indeed require replacement.
In the event that a clutch replacement is required, we will only use
new clutches from trusted manufacturers and resurfacing of the flywheel
is always performed (this corner is sometimes cut by other
"professionals") to control the quality of the final repair.
Air Conditioning Service & Repair
Don't let the heat get you down- keep it cool with Yorba Linda Auto
Service this summer. Using State-of-the-Art equipment, we will evacuate
and measure the refrigerant in your system, recharge the system with
the proper refrigerant and test for proper cooling. In the event we
find the system low on refrigerant, we will test for leaks to determine
the proper course for repair, thereby ensuring you a long cool summer.
Electrical/Battery Service & Repair
Yorba Linda Auto Service can provide full electrical system
diagnosis and repair for both the starting and starting systems as well
as the other fused electrical circuitry on your vehicle. These are the
type of repairs that call upon the expertise and knowledge of a skilled
and trained technician. Yorba Linda Auto Service’s electrical
specialists are ASE Certified and ASE Master Certified Technicians.
Radiator/Cooling System Service & Repair
The cooling system consists of the radiator, water pump, cooling fan
and various hoses and engine passages and is susceptible to coolant
degradation and corrosion damage. Radiator failures and water pumps are
some of the main things we see fail but also engine gaskets and hose
failures also commonly occur. The potential for engine damage due to
poor cooling system operation or component failures is high.
Although we can provide repairs when failures occur, we would prefer
to help our customers by providing preventive maintenance such as
regular cooling system flushes and replacement of worn hoses before
failures occur.
Power Door Lock/Window Service & Repair
Power door locks and power windows are common systems that fail.
Many times a simple switch is the culprit, but often a door lock
actuator or window motor requires replacement. Yorba Linda Auto Service
can commonly repair these problems same day (providing parts are
available). If that power window or lock doesn't work, just give us a
call.
Major Engine Repair
Many of the major engine repairs that we see tend to be related to
gasket failures. Repairs such as cylinder head or intake manifold
gasket repairs are well within the scope of repairs that we perform.
Our technicians are meticulous when performing component reassembly to
ensure proper fit and finish of the repair. We're proud of our work and
we think you will notice the attention to detail, both at the counter
and under the hood.
Engine Replacement
Yorba Linda Auto Service provides engine replacement service when a
vehicle's engine has exhausted its usable life. Factory new engines are
always the first choice when available, rebuilt engines are our second
choice. Because of our choice to utilize only the best replacement
engines, we are limited in the vehicles we can provide engine
replacements for.
