We want you to have a safe and reliable vehicle. That’s why we offer various services to keep your car running smoothly. We can perform engine diagnostics, electrical repairs, and much more.
Maintenance Services
Oil, Lube, and Filter
Your oil and lube need to be checked every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Filters need to be checked every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. That’s a pretty extensive range, so check your owner’s manual for your vehicle’s standard recommendations.
Tire Rotation and Balance
We recommend getting your tires rotated and balanced every 7,500 miles, though it can vary from vehicle to vehicle. Check your owner’s manual for the correct suggestion.
Brake Inspections
We recommend checking your brakes every six months. If you put it off, you could be risking your safety on the road.
State Safety Inspections
Virginia residents are required to get a state inspection every year. We can help you make sure your vehicle is up to code and safe to drive.
Virginia requires that we provide state inspections on a first-come, first-serve basis. As such, we cannot make concrete time appointments for state inspections. We'll do our best to accommodate you so that you can get in and out as quickly as possible.
Here's a checklist of things that we will inspect. Take a look at your vehicle before bringing it in for an inspection to make sure everything is in order.
- Headlights, rear lights, and turn signals
- Steering & suspension
- Tires, wheels & rims
- Windshield, windshield wipers, and defroster
- Mirrors
- Horn
- License plate
- Airbag & airbag light
- Brakes and parking brake
- Turn signals
- Driver’s seat
- Floor
- All doors
- Exhaust system
- Hood & area underneath
- Fuel system
- Air pollution control system
If your vehicle is not up to standard, we can help you make the necessary repairs. We want you to be safe on the road!
Emissions Test
An emissions test is required every two years in Virginia. We can help you make sure your vehicle passes the test and is safe to drive.
We check for carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides when performing an emissions test. Failure to check these levels can damage the environment and your health.
