Engine and Exhaust System

• Oil Change
  Keeping your car in peak condition includes many important maintenance operations. On the top of the list is keeping up on oil changes. S&S Tire recommends changes every 3,000 miles, or in accordance with your car manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Engine Diagnostic
  Today’s cars have brains, that is, on-board computer technology. Not only do on-board systems enhance car performance, the technology is also needed in the diagnosis of your car’s performance. When the “Check Engine” light comes on, or your car is not running properly, S&S Tire uses computer diagnostics to determine what part is malfunctioning.
• Fuel Injection Service/Repair
  Every day dirt and carbon deposits form in your car’s fuel injectors, fuel system, on the intake valves and in the combustion areas. These build-ups can rob your car of performance. S&S Tire recommends fuel injection service every 25,000 miles.

Transmission and Drivetrain

• Transmission Service
  Transmission fluid is a slippery substance that lubricates all of the moving parts inside your transmission. In an automatic transmission, this fluid is a coolant and viscous agent that transmits power from the engine to the transmission. While automatic transmission vehicles use transmission fluid, manual transmissions use a variety of oils including regular motor oil, heavy duty gear oil or sometimes automatic transmission. Routine maintenance is the best way to prevent costly transmission failure. S&S Tire recommends transmission service every 30,000 miles.

Steering and Suspension

• Suspension Service/Repair
  Front end suspension components are significant contributor to ride comfort, and also vehicle safety. When suspension parts fail, the vehicle can become less responsive and difficult to handle. Faulty front end suspension components can also cause premature failure of other vehicle components, including tires.
• Steering Service/Repair
  The wheels of your vehicle are controlled by the power steering system. The power steering system relies on power from the vehicle and requires power steering fluid to keep the system free of contamination and debris. Power steering fluid also serves to lubricate the system.

Heating and Cooling

• Air Conditioning Service/Repair
  Working air conditioning in your vehicle is something you may take for granted, but when temperatures rise and the system fails, it will be the first thing you notice. A number of issues can be responsible when an air conditioning system quits working. The system may simply need a recharge or a new compressor might be necessary. Often before an air conditioning system has problems, there are warning signs or symptoms to alert the vehicle owner.
• Radiator Service/Repair
• Radiator Flush
  Your car’s radiator builds deposits that can clog the cooling system. A coolant flush and fill will also prevent overheating—the most common cause of breakdowns and internal engine damage. It’s important to change your antifreeze seasonally. S&S Tire recommends replacing fluids every 30,000 miles.
• Air Conditioning Recharge
  The recommended frequency of air conditioning recharging service depends on the amount of refrigerant needed. Whether or not the system leaks can also be a factor. A automotive air conditioning system can lose 1-2 ounces of refrigerant per year. The type of vehicle also makes a difference – compact cars usually need 10 ounces, while an SUV may require 40 ounces. In most cases, you do not need to worry about recharging the A/C system until it quits working.

Tires

• Tire Rotation
  A: In most cases tire rotation is recommended every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. An important maintenance service, regular tire rotation will extend the life of your tires. Along with rotation, proper tire inflation is also necessary for extending performance and tread life. Your auto service professional will examine the tread to determine the best tire positioning to promote even wear. The type of vehicle, such as a front wheel drive or a 4-wheel drive, may also determine the best tire rotation pattern. Some manufacturers have specific recommendations for a particular vehicle or tire, so always refer to your owner’s manual tire rotation guidelines to ensure proper tread wear.
• Tire Repair
  Tire problems can occur at the worst times. When they do, you need S&S Tire to handle your tire repair quickly. We offer a complete range of semi-truck tire repair services in Lexington, Kentucky to get you back on the road as soon as possible.
• Wheel Alignment
  A: Along with the regular maintenance recommended by your manufacturer, it may be advisable for you to have wheel alignment inspected. This is especially true if you notice your car pulling to one side. Rapid tread wear on a specific area of your tires can also be indicative of a wheel alignment problem. Always have the wheel alignment checked if you have had any type of collision.
• Tire Replacement
  Michelin’s Zero Pressure tires are specially designed to support your car after a loss of air pressure, saving drivers from tire changes in hazardous places.

• Tire Balancing
  A: While wheel balancing and wheel alignment are commonly confused, but the two are separate and necessary services. When the vehicle begins to show certain symptoms of trouble balancing and alignment are usually inspected. Heavy vibration typically means you have a wheel balance issue. Rapid and uneven tread wear, or the vehicle pulling to one side of the road usually means an alignment problem. When your car or light truck shows any of these signs, wheel alignment or wheel balance could be the problem. Get an inspection as soon as possible to prevent further tire damage.
