Air Filters
Your vehicle’s engine air filter ensures that clean air reaches your engine. Clean air is paramount to your vehicle running efficiently. Without an air filter, the air induction system system would become full of bugs, leaves, dirt and other debris and damage your engine.
When your engine air filter gets dirty, it prevents the proper amount of clean air from reaching the engine which can lead to a host of problems for your vehicle. If your car has a dirty air filter, you may notice poor engine performance or lack of power, reduced gas mileage or your Check Engine light may come on.
You should change your engine air filter annually or every 12,000 miles. If you live in a dusty area, you should change the engine air filter more frequently. Keeping your air filter clean keeps the engine free of dirt. Bottom line - a clean air filter is your engine’s first line of defense to staying dirt free and running properly.
Don’t forget these
“Easy-to-forget” items.
We may call these “convenience items”, but the truth is that some of these items are essential parts of your automobiles operating system.
Let us keep them maintained so you can stay safely on the road, “fix-it-ticket” free, and fresh all year-round.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper plays a critical role in keeping the windshield glass clean and obstruction-free, as it sweeps dirt, dust, and other obstructive materials away and off the glass. As wipers are important in maintaining a great vision of the road, its main component, the wiper blade, will need replacing every now and then, too. It is highly recommended that wiper blades are replaced during every vehicle service, as the rubber on the blade could be worn out and would be less efficient at doing its job.
Light Bulbs
Non-working lightbulbs can be dangerous when out during inclement weather and our dark Alaskan winters. Courtesy and marker lightbulbs are more about safety and security than just a nuisance to be kept up with. Non-operating lights are a terrible reason to get pulled over. Let us help you fix those lights before they become a bigger problem
Vehicles requiring extensive disassembly to change lights must be scheduled over the phone, or in person, with the Shop Manager.
