When your check engine light comes on, there could be a number of issues. It could be something basic, like a loose gas cap, or it could be something serious. The best way to ensure that you are safe behind the wheel is to bring your vehicle into our shop for a multi-point inspection. We can find the issue and make you aware of it so you can choose whether or not you want to take the next steps to getting your vehicle back to peak conditions..

If your tire pressure is low then it can cause uneven wear on your tires. That means that one tire may wear faster than another, forcing you to have to replace your tires sooner. This can be quite costly. Low tire pressure also puts you at risk of popping your tire. When you drive down the highway you may also feel your vehicle pulling to one side of the road because of this. Also low tire pressure forces your vehicle to use more power to generate the same amount of speed, costing you more gas and money!

It is important to have your brakes checked often. Most folks have their brakes checked when they have their tires rotated. One of the mechanics at our service center can check the thickness of your brake pads to ensure that they are running at peak conditions. Your brake pads are essential for maintaining stopping power, so be sure to have them checked every chance that you get.

Your brake pads should be replaced when they are worn down. If you don't replace your brake pads in a timely fashion then it can severely reduce your stopping power. This puts you and folks around you in danger.
If you're in doubt, don't hesitate to pick up the phone and call us at 647-560-9314. We'll be able to get you in on pretty short notice for a quick inspection!

There are a few different types of oil. The best way to check to see what oil your vehicle uses is to check the owner's manual. This will tell you whether your vehicle uses synthetic or conventional oil. Conventional oil wears out sooner and needs to be changed more frequently than synthetic oil so be sure to know the distinction.

Oil is the lubricant that keeps your vehicle running. If you choose not to change your oil then your engine oil will completely break down and leave a sludge in your vehicle's engine. This will wear your engine over time and cause it to break down much sooner. This will cause oil leaks and oil burning

In a one word answer? Yes. Winter tires provide more traction in slippery conditions which can help keep you on the road and away from the side of the road. They also help you get up slippery hills. That means while others are left on the side of the road, you will be cruising to your destination with complete peace of mind.

Tire rotation helps your tires wear evenly by moving them to different positions on your vehicle. Your front tires typically wear faster than your rear tires because they handle most of the steering and braking. By rotating them regularly (usually every 8,000 - 12,000 kms) or (5,000-8,000 miles), you'll get more life out of all four tires, save money by not having to replace them prematurely, and ensure better handling and safety on the road.

Your coolant is what helps keep your vehicle from overheating. It, just like your vehicle's oil, can break down and cause sludge. This wears down your vehicle and could cause it to overheat. This is not good. A coolant flush allows you to get rid of all of that broken down coolant and replace it with clean coolant.
