TESTIMONIALS

  • I came to this place expecting a major repair of my vehicle's steering wheel while visiting this area from Alberta, but after short trouble shooting them fixed it quickly and didn't charge too much. Staff are friendly and to my experience trustworthy. I'm super happy with my experience. I highly recommend Care Auto. Thank you guys, you saved my vacation! 😊

  • Care Automotive is Amazing! They have worked on my vehicles for the past 12 years, and I have complete trust with these guys. My truck transmission just blew, and I was unsure if I should replace it on a 13 year old truck that has 330k, or just buy a new truck. After much debate, I decided to have Care Auto replace it knowing that the truck has been well maintained, still in good condition and has much more life in it. Thanks for all the years of great service!!eat service, honest value, and really great people."

  • Thanks for the alignment and getting my car back in right away to touch it up for a very minor issue, always great to have service like that. The car handles and steers very sharp, I'd get it aligned here again.

WE'RE YOUR ONE STOP SHOP

We can help you with everything from an oil change to an engine change.
We can handle any problem on both foreign and domestic vehicles.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Our shop uses the latest imaging wheel alignment system from JohnBean. We  ensure all four wheels are parallel and sitting flat on the road. A technician will also ensure the steering wheel is perfectly centered.

CAR A/C RECHARGE

We service 134A and 1234YF A/C systems in ANY Vehicle. Utilizing the latest AC Equipment, we will have your system repaired and done right the first time. If your cooling performance has diminished, or just blows warm air. It’s time for an A/C service. We can quickly locate the problem and have it blowing ice cold air.

OIL CHANGE

It’s not just an oil change, we use certified technicians to provide all of the services necessary to maintain your vehicle’s warranty and more. Every oil change include a FREE bumper to bumper inspection, and can alert you to potential problems.

TPMS SENSORS

We carry a full line of TPMS sensors for any vehicle on the road today. Eventually a sensors battery dies and the sensor will need to be replaced. Programming a new sensor is a simple process. Our tool can program or clone any sensor on ANY vehicle.

ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS

Check engine light is an indicator that something is wrong. We can simply connect the car to a diagnostic testing equipment and know within minutes where the problem is and, in most cases, how we’re going to repair it.

CAR BATTERY PROBLEMS

When your battery fails, receiving a boost often doesn’t fix the real problem. If this happens to you, the battery should be load tested and charging system inspected.

Our professionals know how to handle a wide range of car services. Whether you drive a passenger car or medium sized truck or SUV, our mechanics strive to ensure that your vehicle will be performing at its best before leaving our car shop.

POPULAR QUESTIONS

  • Should I consider using synthetic motor oil?

    If you have a choice between conventional and synthetic, think about the annual mileage you drive and how good you are about changing your oil on schedule. If you constantly find yourself putting off that oil change and going beyond the recommended interval, synthetic oil is probably your best bet because you have more time in between changes. You’ll spend less time at the service station and will receive some performance benefits along the way.

    If you’re good about changing your oil on time, however, and your manufacturer allows it, conventional oil will work just fine. Each change will be a bit lighter on your wallet, and you’re unlikely to notice a performance difference in your day-to-day driving

  • How much extra fuel is burned when running the A/C?

    It is estimated that the use of air conditioning in a typical car reduces fuel economy by one to two miles per gallon. For larger cars, or when traveling in extreme heat, air conditioning cuts fuel economy up to four miles per gallon.

  • How do you clean battery terminals?

    After disconnecting both terminal cables, use a baking soda paste–three parts baking soda and one part water–to clean corrosion built-up from battery terminals without the need for a wire brush. The slightly alkaline paste neutralizes corrosion. After reconnecting the clamps to the terminals, wipe them with petroleum jelly to help prevent future corrosion. Be careful when working around a battery because it contains a strong acid.
