- Oil ChangeOil is the lifeblood of your vehicle, and regularly changing it can mean the difference between the life and death of your engine, among other things. It is an important component of how your car performs on the road. However, it is, thankfully, also the easiest to maintain. According to current industry standards, oil changes need to occur every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, or every six months, for gasoline-powered vehicles; every 7,500 miles, or once a year, for diesel vehicles; and every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, or once a year, for hybrid vehicles. Elongating the life of your vehicle is hinged directly on how often oil changes occur, so make sure you keep your car’s engine happy.

- Spark Plug Replacement
- Timing Belt/Chain Replacement
- Fuel Injection Service/RepairThe fuel injection system in your car admits the fuel into the engine so that it can run smoothly and properly. Most vehicles manufactured since 1990 rely solely on the fuel injector system instead of carburetors as the main way to get gasoline to the engine. The process works when the fuel injector atomizes the fuel, pumping it through a small nozzle under high pressure. If this system fails, your vehicle could suffer from poor performance and even a destroyed engine.

From standard suspension and brakes to high-voltage systems or engine and transmission repair, the Beachside team has you and your hybrid covered.

- Suspension Service/RepairYou might not think about your vehicle’s suspension and steering, but these systems are vital to performance. Responsible for independent wheel movement, they make your car drive comfortably. Not to mention, if one part gets strained or stressed, it can create a domino effect of expensive repairs. To ensure steering and suspension stay healthy, make wheel alignment part of your routine service schedule.
- Steering Service/Repair
- Air Conditioning Service/RepairKnowing when to have your air conditioning serviced can be a hassle. After all, most don’t even realize there is a problem until the A/C stops working completely. What are the signs of a struggling air conditioning system? For starters, the noises it makes. Some noises are normal, like the whooshing of air through the vents if you have the system cranked up all the way. But, other noises are not, such as any sort of clicking, squeaking, or whining. If your A/C is emitting a sound that doesn’t sound right to you, that’s proof that your air conditioning system needs to be checked out by a professional. It’s not the only symptom, however. Are there weird smells coming from your vents whenever the air is blowing? That could be as easy to fix as a dirty air filter or as complicated as a broken piece of your A/C system. Either way, it needs to be checked out.
- Radiator Service/Repair
- Radiator FlushEngine coolants are what protect your car’s cooling system. Most coolants have additives that make it possible for them to lubricate components, deliver engine efficiency as well as protecting the system from corrosion. Our Complete Coolant Flush Service will help reduce the risk of your engine either boiling over or freezing in severe weather conditions.
- Tire RotationThe best way to ensure that your fleet is being taken care of is to keep all of the information organized and together. Create a spreadsheet that lists each vehicle’s pertinent information. Be sure to include dates of service and the types of services performed so you can be alerted when something needs to be done again, like an oil change or tire rotation. Have your office staff keep a close eye on the database so they can monitor any changes or potential issues with each vehicle.

- Brake InspectionBrakes are important, and all car owners know this. Without them, lives would be lost. They keep us safe, they keep us mobile, and they keep us breathing. That is why regular brake checkups are imperative to any vehicle maintenance plan. Brakes give you total control of your car, both on and off the road, and having that control means keeping you and your passengers safe. Here at Beachside Tire & Auto Repair, our ASE-Master Certified mechanics are trained and knowledgeable in every aspect of brake service and repair. They understand brake checks and the importance of brake inspections. Nothing stops them from providing our customers with the most reliable brake pads in the marketplace to date. But, if you haven’t had your brakes checked in a while, sometimes it can be hard to tell when you’re due for a change. Below are the signs to watch out for when it comes to wear and tear on your car’s brakes.
- Brake RepairSome common signs and symptoms crop up whenever brakes start to wear down. They range from mediocre to emergent and can signal when you need your car in a shop for brake repair. In some vehicles, a brake repair light on the dashboard illuminates whenever brake pads wear down to a certain point. If that light illuminates, it’s time to get your vehicle into a shop. However, most older vehicles don’t have that warning light, but that doesn’t mean there still aren’t signs. If your brakes are squealing or squeaking whenever you depress them, it’s time to get them looked at by a professional. If your steering wheel shakes when you press the brake pedal down, that is also a sign that your brakes need servicing. Spongy or loose brakes are another warning sign: if you have to push your brake pedal all the way down to stop your vehicle, that requires a professional touch. Not only that, but spongy brakes can increase the distance you need to stop your vehicle, raising your risk of road accidents. And last, but most certainly not least, if your steering wheel pulls to one side or the other when you press your brake pedal down, it needs addressing immediately.

- Towing Service
- Auto MaintenanceMuch like an oil change, an alignment is an important part of vehicle preventative maintenance. If your wheels stay out of alignment for too long, they can cause the tread on your tires to wear down. Eventually, you may experience a blowout which is not only frustrating, but it’s also a threat to your safety, the safety of your passengers, and the safety of others on the road. When your tires wear out, you’ll also get less gas mileage per gallon. Getting a wheel alignment is much less expensive than a new tire or even a set of all four new tires! Check your vehicle’s recommendation and schedule one regularly to keep things running smoothly.
- Belts and Hoses ServiceYour vehicle’s belts and hoses play an important role in the smooth operation of its cooling systems, charging, engine, and air conditioning. Failing to adhere to the replacement timelines recommended by the manufacturer can result in your car breaking down and leaving you stranded in the middle of nowhere. No one wants that.
