Automotive A/C Service & Repair
A climate control system is a complex system that requires routine maintenance for increased seasonal performance and operation. A vehicle’s climate control system is comprised of multiple, smaller systems that work together to maintain a comfortable cabin environment. The climate control system is able to affect and regulate the internal temperature of a vehicle through a cycle of processes. Although the climate control system is primarily used to improve the comfort levels of both drivers and passengers, there are times over the course of the year when maintaining the ideal internal temperature becomes more than a matter of comfort. In severe weather conditions, maintaining the proper internal climate can actually factor into automotive safety. This is why it is important for you to seek climate control repairs at the first sign of trouble.
AXLEs
Your vehicle’s axle, CV joint, and driveshaft components are integral to the performance and drivability of your vehicle. The driveshaft is a steel or aluminum cylindrical component that connects the transmission to the rear differential. The driveshaft connects to the transmission through the CV joints, which are responsible for transferring the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed. Front wheel drive vehicles use CV joints on the front axles. CV joints allow the axle to bend and change while accommodating the bounce of the wheels. The axle bears the weight of the vehicle while also being strong enough to sustain the forces from braking and accelerating. Over time and through normal use, your vehicle’s axle, CV joint, and driveshaft components may require maintenance or replacement services.
Brake Repair & services
Make sure your brake system is in good working order, as it is one of the most important parts of your car. You will feel good knowing that you and your family are safe on the road if you fix your brake problems. When you drive, the brakes bring your car to a complete stop. If you drive with defective brakes, you could have an accident. The safety of you, your passengers, and other drivers on the road depend on your brake system functioning properly.
The brake system in your vehicle uses carefully designed parts and precise movements to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy and stop your vehicle. When you press down on the brake pedal, the master cylinder pressurizes a system of hydraulic brake lines leading to each of the vehicle’s wheels. The brake pads or shoes then press against a disc or drum and create the necessary friction needed to slow the vehicle to a complete stop. The potential for this friction and heat to wear down the brake shoes, brake pads, calipers, brake rotors, and other braking components exists over time. The warning signs for impending brake repairs are the same, even though the components that make up each brake system can vary.
Warning signs for impending brake maintenance are displayed by bad brakes. If, for example, your brakes squeal or grind when in use, then it may be that your brake pads are worn and require replacement. If your vehicle pulls to one side when braking, then this may be due to worn brakes, a malfunctioning caliper, or low brake fluid in the brake lines. If the brake pedal presses down too easily—also known as "spongy" brakes—this may be an indication of too much air in the hydraulic brake lines. The electronic diagnostic system in your vehicle may warn you of a possible brake issue through a service indicator light on the dashboard. Noticing these signs of faulty brakes and seeking out a brake service can save you money down the line, while these are only some of the most common signs of potential problems with your vehicle’s brake system. All of our staff are trained in both servicing and maintaining front and rear brake systems, as well as all accompanying brake system components, such as brake pads and shoes, parking brakes, rotors, drums, and hydraulic systems. If you experience any unusual squealing or grinding noises, then contact us online or call us today to have your brakes inspected immediately.

Computer Diagnostics
Since 1996, every vehicle has been equipped with an On-Board Diagnostics System that monitors engine performance. If there are discrepancies in your vehicle's performance levels, they will be reported through the computer system. If either the "check engine" or "service engine" light comes on, you should take your car to an engine diagnostic service or have it tune-up. Our staff can gather helpful information about the operating condition of your engine through engine diagnostics. The extent of suggested engine repairs will be determined by the insights obtained during an engine diagnostic. In response to malfunctions in the powertrain, the most common diagnostic trouble codes are generated. Regular engine tune-ups are necessary to optimize engine performance. One of the most effective ways to prevent unexpected engine trouble is a tune-up. Our staff may replace the spark plugs, spark plug wires, air filter, fuel filter, and distributor cap and rotor in your vehicle during an engine tune-up. Our experts will also check emission levels, as well as fuel lines and belts and hoses. You can extend the life of your vehicle and improve the health of your engine by doing engine diagnostics and regular engine tune-ups.
Check engine light
Dash lights exist to alert drivers about an issue that needs to be addressed in their vehicle. Illuminated dash lights are an easily ignored problem, however, they should be taken seriously and treated as a safety concern for your vehicle. It is important to educate yourself about what individual lights mean and act appropriately when a dash light illuminates.

Lights
It is always the driver’s responsibility to have working lights, but at Off Again, we check your vehicle’s bulbs with each visit to make sure they are lit. Properly functioning bulbs are critical to your safety and the safety of those driving around you. Some bulbs can be a ticketable offense if they are not working properly. Bulbs that should be regularly monitored include: headlight, turn signal, running light, brake light, license plate light, fog light, hazard light, tail light and interior driving lamp. While some bulbs are easy to change yourself, others are difficult to access and require expert installation. Let Off Again help you keep your vehicle in good working condition with a bulb check and replacement.
Oil change
One of many preventative maintenance services that help promote maximum vehicle performance while extending the life of your vehicle is an oil change and filter replacement. Oil prevents friction between the working components inside your vehicle’s engine by lubricating them. Oil circulates through the engine and acts as a cooling agent because the engine generates a substantial amount of heat. The oil also serves to absorb harmful particles created during the combustion process and direct them to the oil filter where the debris and contaminants are filtered out for clean, free-flowing oil. The oil and oil filter work together to keep your vehicle's engine running at optimal levels of performance. We will replace your engine's old oil with new oil and replace the oil filter during an oil change. The chassis components of the vehicle will also be lubricated according to the standards of the manufacturer. Our staff will ensure your engine oil is clean and the working parts of your engine are properly lubricated at the end of every lube, oil, and filter change.

Tune-up
A tune-up is a great way to keep your engine working efficiently. Getting a tune up at Carz R Us will enhance the performance and efficiency of your vehicle. We recommend pairing the tune-up with the emissions/fuel service to clean the system before having the new components installed.
A tune-up includes:
The purpose of a tune-up is to replace worn out parts before they become a bigger problem. This preventative car maintenance will help you save money in the long run. We recommend a tune-up based on manufacturer recommendation. If a tune-up is performed at an appropriate mileage and age it helps ensure this service is maintenance and NOT a repair!
A tune-up includes:
- Thorough engine inspection and replacement of spark plugs
- Spark plug wires or boots may be replaced based on age
- If applicable, distributor cap and rotor replacement
- PCV (Positive Crank Ventilation) Valve replaced if accessible (helps prevent oil leaks)
- Fluids topped off
- Air, fuel, and cabin filters checked and replaced if needed

Wheel alignment
My Steering Wheel is Straight & My Car Doesn't Pull to the Side:
Do I Still Need an Alignment Check?Your tires not being aligned is something you might not always notice. Although a crooked steering wheel or a car that pulls noticeably to one side are indicators of alignment problems, these signs don't always need to be present. If the alignment is out, how can the car track straight? A crooked wheel is not a traditional problem when both the left and right side of the car are out of alignment by similar amounts. However, your tires will still wear at a faster rate, as will your suspension parts. It's recommended that you regularly ask for an alignment check, especially when installing new tires.Alignment BenefitsThere are several benefits to correcting alignment issues, including:
Longer tire life: The purpose of a wheel alignment is to adjust your vehicle's suspension - the angles that determine how your tires are positioned and pointed. The longest life for tires is achieved when they are aligned so that there is no scrubbing against the road or pulling from the other tires. This can happen from hitting a pothole hard or from suspension parts wearing out over time. What if one tire was slightly pointed to the left while the others were pointing straight ahead? Your tires cost you a lot of money. You should make sure you're getting the mileage you expect.
Safer vehicle stability and handling: Misalignment causes handling problems. If you find yourself fighting to stay straight in your lane, then you need an alignment check.
Improved fuel efficiency: Fuel economy is improved when your tires are properly inflated. If your tires are out of alignment, they will drag. Decreased fuel efficiency is the result. Your tires and your wallet will both benefit from a simple wheel alignment.
Less suspension wear: Suspension systems are stressed more when they are misaligned. Your suspension parts also take a hit in the longevity department, while rapid tire wear is what you're likely to notice first. To keep your vehicle aligned and avoid problems down the road, you'll want the longest life out of your vehicle.
Your alignment should be checked yearly, as the conditions of our roads deteriorate from the changing climate and seasons.
