Engine and Exhaust System

• Engine Repair
  Sinclair's performed engine repairs on my car in November, 2020. Specifically, they replaced a water pump. Two months later, my car is still running smoothly. They were very helpful and explained what needed to be done and why. Sinclair's pricing is very competitive and reasonable. I obtained other estimates and Sinclair's was, by far, more affordable and reasonable. Thank you Sinclair's for working with me. Ladies they may appear a little gruff, but don't let that scare you if you need car repairs at reasonable prices.
• Oil Change
  An oil change is like a transfusion of new life into your vehicle. Over time, oil can lose some of its chemical properties that are designed to reduce corrosion and increase the lubrication in your engine. In some environments, dust and dirt can also find their way into your crankcase, so a regular change of your oil and filter are paramount to the long service life of your car or truck.

  First, there are many electrical components needed to start successfully. A well-charged battery is necessary to turn the starter. The battery will also provide voltage to the ignition coil(s), as well as provide power to the fuel pump and fuel injection system. Spark plugs need to be clean and have a proper “gap” to allow the fuel in the cylinder to ignite.

  Axles transmit the power of your engine to the drive wheels. They are usually set into the transaxle on a front-wheel drive vehicle, or into a differential if the vehicle is rear wheel drive. Modern all-wheel drive vehicles will typically use both.

Tires

• Tire Rotation
  Brake pads and rotors take a massive amount of abuse, as they are the main component that turns the rotational energy into heat. This means that these parts are designed to wear out over time, so it’s important to inspect your brakes regularly...usually at every tire rotation or anytime the wheels of your vehicle are removed.
• Wheel Alignment
  Most cars today require 4-wheel alignment, which can best be achieved by our Hunter Hawk Eye laser alignment rack. It’s important to have your wheels aligned whenever you have new tires installed, as they will move your wheels “out-of-spec” just by being new! Potholes, speedbumps, dirt roads or even snow berms can tweak your wheels out of alignment, so whenever you’ve put your vehicle through a few uncomfortable bumps or bounces, you’ll want to make sure your alignment is still within specification.
• Tire Service
  To track properly down the road, your wheels and tires must be pointing in the same direction. This is called alignment. To be able to turn, and move properly over bumps and dips in the road, the wheels and tires work with the suspension, and have certain angles and measurements “built in” by the manufacturer for best handling and overall driving comfort. If your wheels are not set to these precise measurements, excessive tire wear and poor handling will result.

Brakes

• Brake Service
  I took my Chevy Cavalier to Sinclair’s Auto Clinic for a brake inspection due to a spongy pedal. Pat, Jim and the entire crew are first rate technicians. They not on;ly found a rusted brake line, but a bad rear wheel cylinder. Both problems were repaired and the brakes work great.
