Vehicle manufacturer maintenance intervals are designed to improve the reliability, durability, and resale value of your car or truck. Depending on your vehicle’s service interval mileage, we may inspect the function of your steering and suspension components, fluid filters, belts and hoses, and more to help ensure your vehicle functions efficiently. Interval checks also protect your vehicle against potential major auto repairs.

If your timing belt fails, so does your engine, and your car shuts down. So, when a reputable mechanic tells you that your car’s timing belt needs replacement, you’d be wise to take heed and get a new timing belt. However, there are few obvious signs a timing belt is ready to break, which is why many drivers get a new timing belt as a preventive maintenance service. Replacing a timing belt for preventive reasons costs much less than replacing a broken timing belt.

A simple maintenance tune-up can make your engine easier to start, improve fuel economy, and restore lost pep and power. As part of a tune-up, we’ll check your battery voltage, power balance, engine vacuum, idle speed, and your ignition timing. In addition to these performance checks, we’ll inspect your belts, hoses, and fluids. Then for preventive maintenance, we’ll replace your spark plus (if required), and filters and fluids as necessary.

Your vehicle’s engine oil and oil filter are critical to maintaining long engine life. The oil lubricates moving parts within the engine, while the oil filter helps remove small metal, carbon, and other contaminants. At Bill’s Crestmoor Automotive, we can provide you with a quick and professional oil change, and we’ll do a complimentary courtesy vehicle inspection to identify any issues you may need to address.

If “EMISSIONS TEST REQUIRED” appears on your registration renewal postcard, then you’ll need to have your vehicle inspected at an Air Care Colorado inspection station. We do vehicle inspections at Bill’s Crestmoor Automotive, and perform any necessary preventive maintenance on your vehicle to ensure your inspection goes smoothly. If you do not have your vehicle inspected, you will be fined, so don’t wait if you’re due for an inspection.

There’s no room for error or procrastination when it comes to your vehicle’s brakes. We’ll ensure your car is reliable and that your brake system provides maximum protection and stopping power. Call us if you need any brake-related service, including diagnostic, pad replacement, lining replacement, wheel cylinder, master cylinder, emergency brakes, and brake rotors.

Your vehicle’s belts and hoses are involved in processes within the A/C system, heating system, cooling system, charging system, and engine. They play crucial roles in functional operations inside your vehicle, but have relatively short lifespans compared to other parts. Routine maintenance and replacements of your vehicle’s belts and hoses will prevent breakdowns and costly repairs.

Without a properly functioning starter and alternator, your vehicle will not start properly, or not at all. If a jump start does not revive your battery, or your battery is not old and your still having starting issues, we can take a closer look at the other components of the starting and charging system to determine whether or not you need a starter replacement or an alternator replacement.
