Engine and Exhaust System

• Engine Repair
  Many auto repair shops will arbitrarily choose a time interval, but Lewis Automotive can focus services to your vehicle’s needs. Any owner’s manual can also tell you the manufacturer’s recommendation for which grade of oil to use. This information gives us the best opportunity to preserve your engine. We’ll consider the age of your car and its use when we provide all oil and filter changes. Let us use our exceptional skills and information gathering to preserve your engine. With our quality oil change schedules, you can stay ahead of a lot of costly engine repairs.
• Oil Change
  Lewis Automotive in West Chester is here to keep your vehicle fully operational for as long as you need it. The single most important service to ensure your engine’s health is the oil and filter change. When you don’t get these changes in a timely manner, you force your engine to work harder than it would otherwise have to. The oil’s lubrication prevents the engine from overheating from excessive friction. Drivers can also notice a lowering of gas mileage efficiency when the oil is not changed. The manufacturer’s recommendation for oil change intervals can be found in the owner’s manual. This is what we use to make sure you are receiving the best services possible. We also consider the age of your vehicle and the driving habits of its owner. With our extensive automotive experience we can design a oil change maintenance schedule that is best-suited for you.

Tires

• Tire Rotation
  Obviously, driving under these conditions can be extremely dangerous. Another clear sign that your alignment is off is the uneven wearing of your tires. A tire rotation is not enough to distribute your tires’ wear evenly, but an alignment is necessary. Get your wheel alignment straightened to make sure your tires are as safe and as long-lasting as possible. Tires that wear unevenly are susceptible to damage and flats. At the first sign of a wheel alignment issue, call Lewis Automotive and schedule an appointment. We can also perform wheel alignment on any trucks and vans.

• Wheel Alignment
  If there is a problem with your wheel alignment, driving can get a bit scary. Anytime you take a tight grip off of the steering wheel you can quickly tell if your vehicle has an alignment problem. Your vehicle will start to act as if it has a mind of its own by drifting to the right or left. An off wheel alignment will especially cause difficulty controlling the steering when navigating around corners. You might also notice that you feel more bumps in the road and that your vehicle is more prone to pulling or swaying. Remain safe by getting your wheel alignment serviced by Lewis Automotive.

Brakes

• Brake Service
  If you notice that the ABS light has lit up on your dashboard, you should not only pay attention, but you should take action. At that time, it is time to have your brakes serviced by a professional. The problem could be a fluid leak of a loss of pressure, which can compromise your ability to brake safely. Maintaining your brakes is essential for your safety and the safety of your passengers. Don’t delay your brake services, any issues should be investigated immediately. Your vehicle’s braking safety is also a necessary part of passing the Pennsylvania state inspection. Safety is not something to leave up to chance.
• Brake Repair
  Over time, you may notice your brakes squealing whenever you slow down. That’s your first warning sign that it’s time to bring your vehicle to Lewis Automotive to get a thorough inspection. Your brake pads are designed to squeal when they wear down too low. Many drivers decide to ignore this noise; probably because the squeal is only annoying to everyone outside of the car. But if you wait too long, the squeal will soon turn to a grind. The metal-on-metal scraping after the brakes pads have worn away is an emergency situation, and you should cease driving your vehicle. Should you experience difficulty braking, pull over at the earliest opportunity and call a tow truck. It’s not a slight risk of doing extensive and expensive damage, but it’s a certainty. So let Lewis Automotive provide all your brake repair services. We’ll make sure you avoid all those costly repairs and any breakdown in your braking system.

  The timing belt is what keeps all parts of the engine running in a smooth, organized manner. When it breaks all types of chaos can occur, including some serious engine damage. Once the belt is broken, you won’t be able to drive your car, and then a tow truck will be necessary. However, you can avoid all of this trouble by having Lewis Automotive check and replace the timing belt before it goes bad. Typically, the belt should be replaced every four years. The vehicle’s owner’s manual can usually give you a more specific time frame. With such an important replacement, you’ll want to trust only the most knowledgeable repair team. At Lewis Automotive, our AAA approved auto repair staff is able to replace timing belts in the most efficient way possible.
