Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)
Anti-lock brake systems prevent wheel lock-up during sudden stops by automatically modulating brake pressure. This helps maintain traction and control while braking in emergency situations.
Brake System Flush
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which can lead to corrosion and reduced braking efficiency. Regular brake system flushes help maintain optimal braking performance and prevent costly repairs.
Brake Services
Brakes are essential for vehicle safety, allowing you to slow down or stop as needed. Proper brake maintenance ensures your braking system functions correctly, providing safety and control on the road.
Chassis Maintenance & Repair
The chassis is the backbone of your vehicle, supporting major components such as the engine, transmission, suspension, and wheels. A damaged or weakened chassis can compromise the structural integrity of your vehicle.
Differential Flush & Maintenance
The differential ensures smooth turns by adjusting wheel speeds as you drive. Over time, differential fluid breaks down, leading to potential failures. Routine maintenance prevents costly repairs and keeps your vehicle performing efficiently.
Differentials
Differentials transfer power from the engine to the wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds. Keeping them well-maintained ensures smooth and stable handling, especially during turns.
Driveline Services
The driveline connects the engine and transmission to the wheel axles. If the driveline fails, your vehicle won’t move. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and ensures power is properly distributed to the wheels.
Exhaust System Services
A properly functioning exhaust system improves engine performance, reduces emissions, and enhances fuel efficiency. Whether it’s a minor repair or a full exhaust system service, STW Auto Care has you covered.
Shock Absorbers
Shocks help smooth out rough road surfaces by converting kinetic energy into heat. Well-maintained shock absorbers improve ride comfort, handling, and overall vehicle stability.
Struts
Struts, like shocks, help absorb road impacts, but they also provide structural support for the suspension. Worn-out struts can affect ride quality and handling, making regular inspections essential.
Tires
As tires age, they lose traction and become more prone to blowouts, which can lead to dangerous driving conditions. Keeping your tires in good condition improves safety, fuel efficiency, and overall vehicle performance.
