• Engine Diagnostic
  There’s nothing worse than being stranded on the side of the road with a broken-down car. Unfortunately, car troubles can strike at any time, without warning. Luckily, most modern vehicles are equipped with a check engine light, which can help to alert you to potential problems before they become serious. The check engine light is usually located on the dashboard, and it will illuminate if the car’s computer detects an issue with one of the vehicle’s systems. If the check engine light comes on, it’s important to have the car checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. By taking care of problems early, you can avoid expensive repairs down the road.

• Transmission Repair
  The transmission in a car is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels. The type of transmission will determine how many gears the car has, as well as the gear ratios. The transmission is an important part of the car’s drivetrain, and it needs to be able to handle the high levels of torque produced by the engine. without a transmission, a car would not be able to move forward. There are two main types of transmissions: manual and automatic. Manual transmissions are often found in sports cars and older vehicles, while automatic transmissions are more common in modern cars. The transmission is a complex system, and it is important to keep it properly maintained in order to avoid costly repairs.
• Clutch Service/Repair
  A car clutch is a device that is used to connect and disconnect the engine from the transmission. It is an essential component of any car with a manual transmission, and it allows the driver to smoothly shift gears while driving. The clutch is operated by a pedal that is located next to the accelerator pedal, and it is engaged when the pedal is pressed down. When the clutch is engaged, it breaks the connection between the engine and the transmission, which prevents the engine from turning the wheels. This allows the driver to change gears without the car jerking or stalling.

Steering and Suspension

• Suspension Service/Repair
  The suspension of a car is one of its most important safety features. It is responsible for keeping the car’s wheels in contact with the ground, absorbing shocks from bumps and potholes, and providing a smooth, comfortable ride. In order to achieve these goals, the suspension system must be carefully designed and properly maintained. A well-designed suspension system will include a variety of components, such as springs, shock absorbers, and stabilizer bars. These components work together to provide a safe and comfortable ride. However, if any of these components are worn or damaged, it can result in a rough ride and increased risk of accidents. At Protech Automotive Service, our mechanics specialize in suspension services & repairs for the Johnston area’s most popular European & Japanese vehicles.

• Tire Replacement
  It’s very important to perform regular tire maintenance, not just for the safety of your family, but also to ensure a long lifespan for your vehicle. You are advised to always consult with your owner’s manual in terms of finding the proper tire size for the year, make and model of your vehicle. When you purchase new tires, they have to be in sets of 4, or at least in matching groups of 2 on each axle. This extends the life of your new tires and keeps your tire wear even.

• Tire Inspection
  Tires need to be checked on a regular basis for damage, such as stones, nails or other sharp objects that may have penetrated the tire. They also need to be checked for bulges, tears or cuts that might be the result of contact with road hazards. If you have doubts about the condition of your tires, it’s best to have them inspected by our technicians. Our auto repair shop is known for performing top-notch tire inspection services.
• Tire Balancing
  Tire balancing happens each time you replace your vehicle’s tires. Since tires wear depending on road problems and driving practices, uneven wear can be visible after the initial 1,000-2,000 miles of use. It’s important to check your tires balance every 4,000-6,000 miles. Our certified technicians can assist in determining if your tires need to be balanced and rotated based on mileage and wear.

Brakes

• Brake Service
  Your car’s brakes are one of the most essential safety features. Without them, you would be unable to stop your car, which could lead to accidents. Brakes work by using friction to slow down your car’s wheels. When you press the brake pedal, this activates the brakes, which then grab onto the wheels and slow them down. Over time, brakes can become worn out and may need to be replaced. However, with proper care and maintenance, you can help extend the life of your brakes. For example, avoid riding the brake pedal and make sure to have your brakes checked regularly. By taking these steps, you can help ensure that your brakes will be there when you need them most.
