We have a lot to say about Engine Work and Overhauls. See our articles below to learn more about how to keep your vehicle in it’s best condition:
Why Your Car Takes Longer to Stop Than It Used To
It’s one of those changes that happens so gradually you almost don’t notice it at first. Your car still stops. The brakes still respond. Everything seems normal. But over time, something feels different. You press the brake pedal, and the car doesn’t slow down as...
How to Double the Life of Your Car
Most drivers don’t think about how long their car could last. They think in terms of years, payments, or when something breaks. But the truth is, modern vehicles are capable of lasting far longer than most people expect, often well beyond 200,000 miles, if they’re...
Why Your Car Drives Differently After Hitting a Curb
It happens more often than most drivers like to admit. Maybe you misjudged a tight parking spot, slid slightly during rain, or clipped a curb while turning. Sometimes it’s a small bump while parking, other times it’s a harder hit that makes your heart drop for a...
Why Your Car’s Airflow Matters More Than You Think
When most drivers think about vehicle performance, they focus on fuel. Fuel quality, fuel prices, and fuel economy often get the most attention. But there is another ingredient that is just as critical to your engine's internal performance: air. Your engine doesn't...
What That Whining Noise Under the Hood Really Means
Few things make drivers uneasy faster than hearing a strange noise coming from under the hood. Among the most common—and most misunderstood—is a whining sound. It may start quietly during acceleration, become noticeable when turning the steering wheel, or only appear...
Why Your Steering Wheel Doesn’t Return to Center After a Turn
When everything is working properly, steering feels almost effortless. You turn the wheel into a corner, complete the maneuver, and the steering wheel naturally begins to straighten itself out as you drive forward. Most drivers never think about this process because...
What Happens If You Ignore a Small Coolant Leak?
Most drivers don't think much about a small coolant leak. Maybe you've noticed the coolant reservoir needs topping up every few weeks, caught a sweet smell after a drive, or seen a small puddle under your vehicle that disappears overnight. Since the temperature gauge...
Why Your Car Makes a “Clicking” Sound When You Turn
Hearing a clicking sound when you turn your steering wheel, especially at low speeds or while parking, can be alarming. Many drivers notice it while pulling into a driveway, making a U-turn, or maneuvering in a parking lot. At first, the car still drives fine, so it’s...
Battery Drain Overnight: How Parasitic Draw Testing Works
There are few things more frustrating than walking out to your car in the morning, turning the key, or pressing the start button, and hearing nothing. The battery is dead. Again. You jump-start the car, it runs fine all day, and then the next morning… the same...
The Hidden Costs of DIY Car Repairs: When It Pays to See a Pro
It’s easy to understand the appeal of fixing your car yourself. A quick YouTube tutorial or a trip to the parts store makes it seem like anyone can be a weekend mechanic. DIY repairs promise big savings and a boost of pride. But underestimating the complexity of...
Automotive Services
All Around Auto Repair provides maintenance for cars of all makes and models. Our mechanics also service most types of recreational vehicles, boats, and motor homes. We use sophisticated diagnostic computers to find out why your check engine light went on and identify any other problems with your vehicle.
Oil Changes
A regular oil change lubricates your engine in the short term and provides long-term protection by actually cleaning your engine’s parts as it goes about its business of taking you from point A to point B.
Brake Repairs and Replacements
Too many people think that brake problems either mean you need new brake pads or all new brakes. A smart auto mechanic can find other solutions. We love solving problems and educating our customers.
Inspections, Car Care & Tune Ups
Slight vibrations in your steering wheel or brakes that grind and become less effective are surefire, though sometimes subtle, signs that you're overdue for a tune up. Don't wait for the check engine light.
Scheduled Maintenance (30k/60k/90k)
Getting your vehicle serviced is critical to keeping your vehicle running smoothly and on the road for longer. You're probably already pretty familiar with the importance of getting your oil changed, but did you know that this is only one kind of car service that you can get?
Engine Work and Overhauls
Whether you car needs some minor engine work, or a complete disassembly for an overhaul, All Around Auto Repair can help.
Diagnostic Tests
Without a doubt, diagnostics tools make life easier for all of us. Computers and sensors inside your car can alert you to trouble before something bad happens or significantly speed up the search for a solution.
Air Conditioning Service and Repair
Auto experts say that the benefits of maintaining a comfortable temperature far outweigh the marginal increase in fuel economy that you'll get from being sweaty and uncomfortable by going a few degrees warmer.
Transmission Service and Repair
Good transmission service and repair is essential for your vehicle because it will promote optimal performance and prevent the failure of the component.
Clutch Repair and Replacement
Though the quality and lifespan of the typical clutch has improved over the years, it will not last forever. If you have driven your vehicle in excess of 20,000 miles, you should have its clutch inspected at least once a year.
Wheel Alignment
Automobile wheel alignment is an essential aspect of car maintenance that every car owner should prioritize.
