Common signs include squealing or grinding noises when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibration during stops, or a longer stopping distance than usual. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s worth having your brake pads, rotors, and calipers inspected as soon as possible. Costs vary based on your vehicle’s make and model.
Most manufacturers recommend checking your wheel alignment every 12,000 miles or once a year, and always after hitting a significant pothole or curb, or after any suspension or steering repair. Proper alignment protects your tires and improves fuel efficiency. Your technician can confirm the right interval for your specific vehicle.
Slow engine cranking, dimming headlights, frequent jump-starts, or a battery warning light on your dashboard are all indicators that your battery may be failing. A battery load test and alternator testing can confirm whether the battery, charging system, or both need attention. Prices vary based on battery type and vehicle requirements.

From there, the technician will recommend the appropriate repairs, which may include an A/C system recharge, a refrigerant leak repair, or a component replacement. Costs vary by vehicle and the extent of the repair needed.
