Tires, Shocks, Alignment

admin — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 17:24:36 +0000

Your car’s suspension is much more expensive to fix than to maintain. Problems with your alignment, tires, tire pressure, or suspension can cause very poor gas mileage, uneven wear on tires, and poor cornering; not to mention these parts help you handle and break under slippery conditions. If the steering wheel is out of alignment when driving straight, or if your car rides rough over bumps in the road you should bring it in for service.

Did you know: Front tires bear more weight, handle more brake load, and in general wear more quickly than rear tires especially in front wheel drive vehicles. Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, or as recommended by your vehicle’s owner’s manual.

Diagnostics & Check Engine Lights

They took the time to install lights in your dashboard for a reason. If your check engine light comes on it is very important that you bring your car in for service as soon as possible. This is also true for other lights such as ABS, Oil Temp, tire pressure, low battery, etc. We have the latest diagnostic scanners and tools to diagnose and fix the problem right the first time.

Did you know: A check engine light that goes off and on intermittently indicates problems in certain conditions, a steady check engine light indicates a consistent problem, and a check engine that blinks on regular intervals indicates a very severe problem that could cause engine damage.

Brake Service

Brake repair and brake replacement is one of the most important services for your vehicle. Keeping your brakes properly maintained will help prevent them from squeaking or pulsating, as well as keep them working when you need them. Ensuring that your rotors, pads, drums, and other parts of the brake system are within factory specs can help save you money in the long run.

Did you know: Bringing your vehicle to an independent repair shop will not void your factory or dealer warranty. You can save a lot of money by having brake service and regular maintenance performed at an independent repair shop like Baldino’s.

Exhaust Systems

Exhaust issues are often identified during emissions testing, but there are some more obvious signs of trouble with your exhaust system. If your vehicle sounds louder than it once did, or you notice that parts of your exhaust are hanging lower than the rest of the car you should bring it in for service.

Did you know: Air pollution has decreased 25% since 1970 despite the number of motor vehicles more than doubling, thanks in part to improvements in vehicle exhaust systems.

Oil Changes

admin — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 15:20:59 +0000

Oil changes are the most common, and most important type of maintenance for your vehicle. Unfortunately these services are also often the most neglected. Baldino’s makes it easy for our customers to schedule oil changes and keep your engine running for a long time.

Did you know: Your Owners Manual may recommend that you change the oil at greater than 3,000 mile intervals.

State Inspection & Emissions Testing

admin — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 15:18:26 +0000

Bring in your vehicle for your yearly safety inspection and emissions test. Our mechanics will give you an honest inspection. We will let you know about upcoming maintenance, and when your vehicle will need new tires, brakes, and other regularly replaced parts.

Cooling System Service

admin — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:36:59 +0000

Get your air conditioning checked before the hot summer months. As your vehicle gets older the air conditioning system may need to be recharged to stay cold. It may also develop slow leaks that will decrease its effectiveness and cause it to use more energy. We have the tools to detect even the smallest AC leaks and recharge your air conditioning system so you can stay cool.

Did you know: Even new cars lose between 20% and 30% of their initial AC charge in the first two years they are driven. Your system should be checked at least once every two years to make sure it is working properly and efficiently. It is also helpful to run your A/C periodically throughout the year to keep the system lubricated.
