Note: Wiper blades should be changed every time you switch your tires over for winter and summer.

TIRE ROTATION

Features: Rotate tires from front to back, and side to side every other rotation.

Benefits:

  • Reduces tire wear, extending tire life
  • Reduces operating costs by maximizing tire wear
  • Enhances quiet operation
  • Reduces tire chop which can help save wheel bearing
  • Improves fuel economy

Note: If tires are not evenly worn, the alignment should be checked

TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE SERVICE

Features: Transmission drained and flushed, fluid replaced, inspection of transmission housing, seals and cooler lines for leaks.

Benefits:

  • Removes metal filings from the transmission
  • Lubricates bearings and seals
  • Keeps internal parts cool

  • Increases safety by improving heater and defroster operation
  • Reduces operating costs by improving vehicle performance and component longevity
  • Increases reliability
  • Ensures proper water pump lubrication
  • Eliminates dirty contaminated fluid
  • Increases protection for radiator, heater core and the entire cooling system

Note: DEX-COOL is formulated to last for up to 5 years or 240,000km, whichever comes first, but the lifespan can be reduced based on driving conditions or leaks.

HEADLAMP RESTORATION

Features: Some headlamps become grey or have a yellowing haze to them cause by exposure to heat and ultraviolet rays (UV) from the sun. This service removes the oxidation increasing headlamp distance increasing safety.

Benefits:
