Your vehicle’s suspension are the components that connect the tires to the vehicle, and allow it to minimize the amount of roughness felt by tires and caused by the road surface. Today, most cars have shocks in the rear and spring/strut assemblies in the front. Both struts and shocks work very similarly, and the biggest difference between the two setups is the presence of suspension springs on the front (note that some cars do have springs in the rear).
Timing Belt
A timing belt is an internal engine belt or chain that tells the valvetrain of your engine what to do based upon the events of the crankshaft and pistons. It controls the intake and exhaust valves, creating just the right amount of gases in the cylinder for each engine stroke. Sometimes, it is this belt that also turns an internal water pump, depending on engine design. The proper operation of this belt is critical to engine operation, as a broken timing chain or belt can result in a loss of cooling, or even complete destruction of the engine.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
The Tire Pressure Monitoring system was mandated by law after 1997, and it checks the air pressure of each tire on your vehicle to assure the driver of proper inflation. If the tire pressure is low, it will trigger a low reading on the dash, and may also trigger a warning light to alert the driver of an unsafe condition.
Tires
Tires are your vehicles ONLY contact with the road. That’s why they are so important to the ride, steering, braking and otherwise control of your vehicle as you move down the road. Tires with a low-profile may look cool, but are much more likely to fail when hitting a pothole or brushing a curb. They will also ride rougher than tires with a proper sidewall, but they do increase the size of the contact your vehicle has with the ground. Whatever your driving need, there’s a tire to fit both your style and your budget.
Transmission Service
Every day, your transmission works hard to keep you and your car on the go. The fluid that lubricates all of the transmission’s moving parts works just as hard as the transmission and should be changed as recommended. Over time, that fluid may get contaminated or lose the ability to keep your transmission performing at its peak. Your vehicle’s manufacturer is aware of this fact. So, they recommend getting your transmission flushed and a transmission fluid changed at specified maintenance intervals. This keeps your car running newer, longer.
Water Pump Replacement
Many of today's modern cars utilize a standard water pump to keep their engines at a consistent operating temperature. Their single pump system circulates coolant from the radiator, through the engine block, to a heater core, and then back to the radiator. Some vehicles will also have an auxiliary pump to move water more efficiently, sometimes when the engine isn’t even running.
Wheel Bearings
Your wheel bearings are responsible for supporting the weight of your car and allow the wheels to move smoothly and easily. With that said they need to be high quality, and in excellent shape in order to perform properly.
