Fluid replacements
Oil and Filter changes
Tire rotation, spin balance, and pressure adjustments
Inspection of parts and systems - gears, tires, brake pads, belts, hoses, etc.
With higher mileage: spark plugs, belts, timing belts when applicable

Belts
A fan belt, also known as a drive belt, is a belt connecting your car's engine to the front mounted accessories. The fan belt rotates the water pump and engine fan, which maintains a cool environment for the engine and its components. Sooner or later, your vehicle's fan belts will dry out and crack. When you are ready for a replacement you can count on Turner Automotive for all your vehicle's repair needs.

You not only have to get the belts replaced with quality ones but you should have the work done by experts. To have the belts replaced by auto cooling and heating experts - and get your car driving right - visit Turner Automotive today. The mechanics/technicians at Turner Automotive will thoroughly inspect your car's belts; replace all worn belts; and adjust the installed belts.

Check Engine Light Diagnostics
It could be a loose gas cap-or something serious like a failing catalytic converter. Visit us in Rainier for quick code reading and diagnostics. At Turner Automotive, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you.

Factory Recommended Service/Maintenance
Automotive and auto parts are accompanied by a factory-recommended service and maintenance schedule. The manufacturer specifies how often to service or replace an auto part. Keep in mind, we work on all American and imported vehicles (either diesel or gas engines). Our highly skilled auto mechanics/technicians possess the extensive knowledge and experience necessary to provide this service.

Hoses
Hoses play a critical role in transferring coolant and antifreeze throughout the engine's cooling system, including the radiator. Sooner or later, your vehicle's hoses will become dry and develop cracks. Not only should you replace the hoses with top-quality replacements, but you should also entrust this work to experts. Our mechanics/technicians will perform a comprehensive inspection of your car's hoses, replace any worn hoses, and fine-tune the newly installed ones.

Oil, Lube & Filter Changes
Most vehicles need oil and filter changes every 3,000 to 7,500 miles. We provide full oil, lube, and filter service at Turner Automotive to prevent wear and overheating.

FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles

Why do my brakes squeak?

The most common reason brakes squeak is that they are worn out. The squeak can be the sound of the metal wear indicator on the brake pad coming into contact with the metal rotor. Your brakes are one of the most important safety systems on your vehicle, so come by Turner Automotive and have them inspected.

If you hear squeaking only when you press the brake pedal the first two or three times you drive in the morning, it may be caused by overnight moisture buildup and may not indicate a problem. If the noise persists, have your brakes inspected to determine the cause.

Why does my car make a noise when I turn the steering wheel?

If your car makes strange sounds or clicking noises when you turn the steering wheel, one possible cause is low power steering fluid. As the fluid level drops, air can enter the power steering system and cause unwanted noises.

Come to Turner Automotive to have the power steering system inspected and the fluid level checked. If the noise returns quickly after the fluid is topped off, your vehicle may have a power steering fluid leak. Our professionals in Rainier can diagnose the source of the problem and recommend the appropriate repair.

Why does my car squeal when I start it in the morning?

A squealing noise when starting your vehicle can be caused by a worn or loose belt. Depending on the vehicle and the source of the noise, the issue may involve an accessory drive belt or another belt-driven component. Because some belt failures can lead to serious mechanical problems, unusual or persistent noises should be inspected promptly. Come to Turner Automotive and our technicians can determine the source of the noise and recommend the proper repair.

Leaking Fluid FAQs

Why is water leaking on my foot on the driver's side?

The most common cause is a blocked air conditioning drain hose. This is a simple repair at Turner Automotive. There are other possible causes of water dripping on your foot on the driver's side of the car, including a broken door seal or leaking heat exchanger.

What should I do if my car creates a small oil leak on my driveway?

If the spill is still wet, cover the stain with clay cat litter, sand, cornmeal, cornstarch, or baking soda. This will help absorb the oil before it soaks into the cement. Once the spill has dried, sweep up the absorbent material. Then, wash away the remaining stain with water and soap.

A small oil leak on your driveway is an indication that something is wrong with your car. Bring your car to Turner Automotive to get the problem diagnosed. Do not ignore an oil leak, as it can seriously affect your car's engine.

Why is my car leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?

If there is a sweet-smelling fluid leaking from your car, the most likely culprit is leaking coolant or antifreeze. A coolant leak can become a serious problem. If your vehicle gets too low on coolant or antifreeze, it will overheat and may cause engine damage.
