Frequently Asked Service Questions

When should my brakes be inspected or repaired?

Pads and rotors should be inspected during every oil change or tire rotation service to help you stay ahead of irregular wear or broken components. Brake pads can often last around 20,000 miles before needing replacement, while rotors can last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles in ideal conditions.

How often should batteries be inspected?

Batteries don't have a predetermined service schedule, and we encourage drivers to have their vehicle's electrical system inspected seasonally. Hot summers and cool winters here in the Austin area have the potential to harm batteries and leave you stranded without prior symptoms. Our technicians can conduct load tests, replace alternators, and diagnose electrical issues so you can drive confidently.

How often does my vehicle need a coolant flush?

Initial coolant flushes are encouraged at around 120,000 miles, with following flushes conducted every 30,000 miles or five years. Like the oil in your engine, the coolant system keeps components cool by pumping a water or antifreeze mixture through radiators and hoses. Over time, coolant liquid can evaporate from the system or lose its ability to provide oxidation from occurring, which is why coolant flushes are recommended periodically.

What tire services does my vehicle need?

We encourage all drivers to stick with a recommended service schedule for tire rotations, balancing, and wheel alignments. Rotations and balancing are conducted simultaneously, helping to promote lifespan by keeping treadwear even between all corners of the vehicle. Wheel alignments aren't as popular, but help ensure that your steering wheel and tires are angled straight down the road for optimal traction and stability year-round.
