• Engine Replacement
  After years of use, your car's engine inevitably deteriorates. If your car needs a new engine and you are not ready to invest in a new car, consider having the engine rebuilt. This involves replacing or resurfacing all the rundown parts in an engine. Regardless of your engine replacement needs, Tallahassee Car Care has experienced engine rebuilders ready to assist you.
• Engine Diagnostic
  This one can be a bit tricky. Modern vehicles come equipped with engine diagnostic or check engine lights, but they don't always signal a genuine problem. Some are programmed to illuminate after a certain mileage for a routine checkup. Occasionally, the car's computer module may malfunction and trigger the lights when nothing's wrong.
• Spark Plug Replacement
  At Tallahassee Car Care we recommend replacing spark plugs before they reach the 80,000-mile mark. Many car owners delay spark plug replacement until the engine starts "missing." An engine that is "missing" will typically result in a jerking feeling when accelerating. Spark plugs that are severely worn out will create a pinging or knocking sound. These fouled, worn-out spark plugs can lead to extensive engine damage that is expensive to fix. Therefore, replacing spark plugs before they reach the 80,000-mile mark is very important.

Steering and Suspension

• Suspension Service/Repair
  Tallahassee Car Care recommends performing an alignment anytime shocks, struts or other steering and suspension components are replaced. Getting your vehicle's alignment within factory specifications ensures optimal tire wear and helps prolong the life of your tires.
• Steering Service/Repair
  Shocks and struts are both parts of a vehicle's suspension system. However, each has a very specific job. Your vehicle has either shocks or struts. You cannot replace your shocks with struts and vice versa. Shock absorbers are hydraulic components that help minimize movement generated by the vehicle's springs. These springs absorb some of the jolts you might feel from uneven or damaged roads. Struts are structural components of certain vehicles' steering and suspension systems. They usually consist of a spring and a shock absorber. Struts are designed to be much stronger than shocks since they are designed for vehicles that carry heavy loads.
• Steering Fluid Service
  Power steering fluid helps transmit steering force. Flushing old fluid can prevent wear and maintain steering ease.

Heating and Cooling

• Radiator Service/Repair
  Radiator service starts with draining the system. Then we flush the radiator and engine block, inspecting all hoses to make sure they're not cracked. Next we refill the radiator with fresh coolant and finish by pressure testing the radiator cap and cooling system.
• Radiator Flush
  Over time, coolant becomes dirty and less effective. Regular coolant system flushes ensure your vehicle's cooling system remains effective, helping prevent overheating and damage. Contact us for a coolant flush to maintain peak performance.
• Air Filter Replacement
  As cars get older, they need more maintenance and repair. Drivers in Tallahassee must be more diligent about preventative maintenance. Replacing a bad O2 Sensor costs $250.00 on average. This may increase or decrease based on the make and model of your car or truck. However, performing recommended auto maintenance such as air filter replacement and spark plug replacement can extend the life of your O2 sensor.
• Air Conditioning Recharge
  Freon gas becomes a liquid when pressurized inside your car's A/C system but returns to its gaseous state as it leaks out. Many drivers in Tallahassee are completely unaware that they are losing freon until the day when they turn on the car's AC and find only warm air blows out. Call 850-576-0260 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC.
