- Engine RepairMurphy's Auto Glass & Tire Express is not a full service auto repair facility. We do, however, handle light auto repair & vehicle maintenance needs for the citizens of Orangeburg, SC and the surrounding communities. Murphy's handles brake repair, steering and suspension repair, engine repair, and preventative vehicle maintenance.
- Oil ChangeApart from true driving enthusiasts, our vehicles are something we simply rely on for dependable transportation from one destination to another. Many drivers fail to understand the value in regular vehicle maintenance. One the cheapest and easiest way to maintain your vehicle is with regular oil changes.
- Engine Tune-Up
- Starter Repair
- Alternator Repair
- Spark Plug ReplacementA standard tune-up, or spark plug replacement, done at the suggested maintenance interval will make an engine easier to start, improve fuel economy, lower emissions, restore lost power, and extend the overall life of the engine. A thorough tune-up service designed to help keep your vehicle's engine running properly is the cleaning of fuel injectors and the fuel intake system. When dirt and deposits collect on fuel injectors, the amount of fuel delivered to the engine is restricted, leading to deterioration in performance and responsiveness. The tune-up service Murphy's offers will focus on your vehicle's fuel injection system seeking to remove any harmful deposits and help maximize your vehicle's performance and gas mileage.
- Emissions Inspection
- Fuel Injection Service/RepairTune-up is becoming an old-fashioned maintenance term that's nearly non-existent today. With electronic ignition and fuel injection systems came computers that took over control of engine settings. Early model engines allowed for some tinkering, but today's high-tech engines require specialized equipment and advanced training. The days of do it yourself tune-ups are quickly passing as automobiles become more & more technologically advanced.
- Transmission Service
- Suspension Service/RepairBecause these changes occur gradually over time, they may be difficult to notice. Murphy's can inspect your shocks and struts anytime to make sure these important steering and suspension systems are functioning properly.
- Steering Service/RepairThe suspension system in your vehicle is made up of springs, shock absorbers, struts, control arms, bushings, ball joints, and other components. These parts are subjected to some pretty harsh punishment and should be inspected regularly. The function of your suspension is mainly to keep the tires in contact with the road to maintain handling and stability. If it is not functioning properly due to worn parts, you may wear out your tires prematurely and quite possibly compromise your safety. The steering system consists of a steering gear, tie rod ends, idler arms, ball joints, power steering pump, hoses, and other components. Some vehicles even have computer assisted power steering. The steering system is primarily for pointing the wheels in the direction you want your vehicle to go, but it also keeps the wheels in alignment. Again, worn parts or improperly aligned steering components can cause tire wear or diminished steering performance. We recommend having your steering and suspension components inspected regularly to avoid premature tire wear and safety related concerns.

- Wheel AlignmentAlignments are probably one of the most important, yet least understood areas of automotive service. Improper wheel alignment can definitely cause handling and drivability problems, but it is often related to other issues. Vehicle owners typically ask for an alignment when their car is vibrating, pulling, wandering, etc. While this can be caused by your vehicle being out of alignment, more often than not it is another underlying problem causing your symptom. A bad tire or worn suspension or steering components are more likely the cause. When your vehicle exhibits any of these symptoms we suggest a thorough inspection of your vehicle to diagnose the cause of your symptom. By diagnosing your problem first we can save you money by repairing only what is needed to get your vehicle driving like new again. If your vehicle does need an alignment, rest assured we can handle that for you!
