Core Services
The following services make up the core of what we do at E.S. Auto Repair. These are the most requested, high-value services our shop provides regularly.
General Maintenance
Routine maintenance is the key to long-term vehicle health. We offer oil changes, tire rotations, inspections, and full-service checkups to help you avoid costly breakdowns and extend the life of your car. Our team provides honest feedback on what your vehicle truly needs without upselling or unnecessary work.
Brake Replacement and Brake Systems
Brake safety is not optional. If your brakes are squealing, grinding, or feeling soft, our team can inspect the system and make repairs or replacements using quality parts. We handle pads, rotors, calipers, and full system evaluations for most makes and models.
A/C and Electrical System Repair
We diagnose and repair complex electrical issues, including wiring faults, sensor failures, lighting problems, and malfunctioning HVAC systems. If your air conditioning is not cooling or you have dash lights acting up, we use accurate scan tools to locate the issue and make efficient repairs.
Transmission Service and Repair
Whether you need a fluid service or minor transmission repair, our team can help. We inspect transmission systems for slipping, delayed shifting, leaks, and warning indicators. While we do not do full rebuilds, we handle most minor to moderate repairs with care and precision.
Suspension and Steering
From noisy shocks to poor alignment and worn steering components, suspension issues can affect safety and drive comfort. We inspect and repair ball joints, struts, tie rods, control arms, and related components to keep your vehicle stable and road-ready.
Additional Services
In addition to our core offerings, E.S. Auto Repair provides a full range of mechanical services designed to keep your vehicle running efficiently. We service most passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs.
Engine Diagnostics
Modern vehicles use complex systems to monitor performance and emissions. If your check engine light comes on, we perform OBD-II diagnostics to pinpoint the root cause. From sensors and fuel trim issues to misfires and air intake problems, we explain what is wrong and what it will take to fix it.
Tune-Ups and Ignition
A regular tune-up can improve fuel efficiency, performance, and starting reliability. We replace spark plugs, inspect coils and wires, clean throttle bodies, and reset adaptive controls as needed.
Battery and Charging Systems
If your car struggles to start or dies unexpectedly, we test your battery, alternator, and starter system. We install high-quality batteries and make sure your vehicle is charging properly before you leave.
Oil Changes and Fluid Service
We offer professional oil changes using the correct oil weight and filter for your engine. Our fluid services also include coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid based on manufacturer recommendations.
Fuel and Exhaust Systems
Fuel system problems can cause reduced power, poor mileage, or stalling. We inspect fuel pumps, injectors, and filters for performance and pressure. On the exhaust side, we check for leaks, rust, and failed catalytic converters to keep emissions compliant.
Timing Belts and Timing Chains
A failed timing belt can cause major engine damage. If your vehicle is due for timing belt or chain service, we use OEM-quality parts and replace associated tensioners and water pumps when required.
Cooling Systems
We diagnose overheating issues and cooling system failures. Our team inspects radiators, thermostats, fans, hoses, and water pumps to prevent engine damage and keep your temperature steady.
Wheel Alignment and Tire Services
Poor alignment causes uneven tire wear and poor handling. We offer precision alignment and can mount, balance, and rotate tires to improve lifespan and safety. If you feel your vehicle pulling to one side or notice uneven tread, it may be time to check alignment.
Emissions System Service
We help customers pass state inspections and reduce emissions by servicing EGR valves, oxygen sensors, evaporative leaks, and other related systems. If you failed an inspection due to emissions, we can help diagnose and repair the issue.
