Auto Repair Services Aimed to Please in Cliffside Park

Your vehicle’s A/C is part of the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system, and one of the most important parts of the comfort-control center. What we don’t have to tell you is that when your A/C isn’t working properly, driving can be miserable and, in some cases, even dangerous in the mid-summer heat and humidity. Our mechanics can help if you’re experiencing low or no vent air flow, improper vent air temperature (i.e. not as cold as it should be), bad smells, noises during A/C operation, or overheating.

When you drive your car, the engine becomes very hot, and heat makes oil break down. Broken down oil doesn’t move through your engine well, which means the oil can’t do its job of lubricating engine components. That’s why regular oil changes are very important for keeping your engine functioning properly. When we finish your oil change, your engine will run under optimal conditions, with a new oil filter and fresh oil. Plus, we’ll perform a 27-point inspection and give you honest car care advice if we see any issues.

The timing belt has a significant job to do in your car’s engine—it keeps everything moving at the right time, ensuring your engine gets what it needs, when it needs it. In fact, the timing belt is so important that a worn timing belt can damage your vehicle’s engine, and if your timing belt breaks, your car will break down. With the timing belt’s critical function, we recommend timing belt replacement as a preventive maintenance service, and if you’re unsure how old your timing belt is, we can inspect your timing belt for signs of wear.

Regular tune-ups can make your engine easier to start, improve your fuel economy, and maintain your vehicle’s pep and power, while identifying issues that may cause you problems down the road. 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.

If you’re experiencing pulling or vibrations while driving your car, or you’ve noticed uneven tire wear or poor gas mileage, you may need a wheel alignment. Take it from us—our mechanics have seen all kinds of auto problems caused by misaligned wheels, so poor wheel alignment isn’t something to ignore or procrastinate about. Instead, bring your vehicle to Bovan’s Auto Services for a precision wheel alignment. We’ll get your wheels straightened out and your car running smoothly.
