Scope of Work: Maintenance and Repair
Automotive Computer Diagnostics
If you can’t determine what ails your vehicle, bring it to Christian Brothers Automotive. We’ll find and
repair all car problems. We use the same diagnostic equipment you can find from manufacturers,
making us your one-stop location for all your automotive needs.
Our ASE-Certified technicians will provide you with a detailed inspection and computer analysis of
your vehicle. From the output, we’ll get you back on the road quickly.
Check Engine Light
Without the right equipment, you likely don’t know what your Check Engine Light means. A list of
different things can make this light come on. Our tools can decipher what is happening with your car
and tell you what work is needed. Don’t let your Check Engine Light freak you out; visit Christian
Brothers Automotive for peace of mind.
Vehicle Repairs
After we’ve determined the issues hampering your vehicle, an ASE-Certified technician will describe
them in detail, or even allow you to see them for yourself. Additionally, they will give you a cost
estimate for repairs. You make the ultimate decision before we commence repairs.
At Christian Brothers Automotive, we never settle for anything less than long-lasting repairs
completed by experienced technicians. Our service includes repairs and maintenance on cooling
systems, power steering, exhaust systems, engines, and tires.
Brakes
At Christian Brothers Automotive, we take pride in our integrity. We will never sell you only brake
pads but we will also recommend the right components recommended by your auto manufacturer.
Each vehicle varies whereas the alloys used in brake pads and rotors are often very specific.
Incorrect brake pads can mean significant damage to rotors and other vital parts. The expert
technicians at Christian Brothers Automotive will check to make sure your vehicle only receives the
brake pads and components that are specifically engineered for it.
Every brake job means resurfacing the rotors. The brake pads are just half of the relationship –
without properly serviced rotors, your car will not stop as quickly as it should. Every rotor is
resurfaced according to manufacturer specifications and lubricated properly to make sure the brake
pads get the maximum durability.
Fluid is an often overlooked component of the brake system. Brake fluid is checked for quantity, but
not usually checked for quality. Your brake fluid can become dirty and create problems when it is
supposed to be flowing to the calipers to stop your car. Clean, new brake fluid can help extend the
life of your entire brake system and save you money on costly brake repairs in the future.
Electrical System
Most mechanical functions are now dependent on electrical components. Your car is controlled by a
complex arrangement of wires, sensors and computers working together. If communication along
those wires is interrupted, it could have major consequences for several components of your vehicle.
Electrical systems are now more complicated, but more reliable and easier to diagnose and remedy
with the proper equipment. At Christian Brothers Automotive, we have a full line of manufacturer
certified diagnostic tools. The tools, scanners and equipment are the same or better than those used
in dealership service departments.
Our ASE certified technicians know your car’s electrical components and can quickly and effectively
diagnose the problem. At Christian Brothers Automotive, we take a serious, targeted approach to
pinpoint the problem and minimize the cost of your repair to one of the electrical components.
Sometimes what seems like a major repair could merely be a software issue. Computers control
your car. Starters, alternators, air conditioning systems and many other components are now
computer controlled. Our ASE certified technicians will make sure you do not waste money on
diagnostics and parts.
Your battery could also be the culprit of an electrical system problem. A loose battery cable, a faulty
wire or a dirty connection could appear to be a bigger problem than reality. If your battery is not
receiving a charge, the alternator may need replacement. You will receive a full system check, not
just a recommendation for parts you may not need. We check the basics before recommending a
major repair. We care about your car and we respect your budget.
AC Services
At Christian Brothers Automotive, we do things differently. Our ASE-certified technicians do more
than your ordinary air conditioning system check. Your car is a complex machine and it demands a
full diagnostic treatment and service. A full air conditioning service at Christian Brothers Automotive
means a full inspection to make sure we get to the root of the problem and not simply treat the
symptoms.
There is not a definitive way to predict a failure for your air conditioning system. However, when your
car’s AC system needs service or repair, the right equipment and experience are important.
Christian Brothers Automotive only uses expert, ASE-certified technicians and the latest tools and
equipment for air conditioning service and repair. You cannot determine the source of a leak or
diagnose a problem with the AC system without a thorough examination.
Drivetrain & Suspension
The drive train, also referred to as the power train, refers to the parts and systems that create power
and deliver it to the road. It is a holistic system that makes your car travel safely down the road. The
main parts of the drive train includes: the wheels, suspension, drive shaft, engine and transmission.
A properly maintained power train means that the energy produced by your engine is being used in
the most efficient way possible. Thus, you will have a more fuel efficient car and more miles per
gallon. At Christian Brothers Automotive, we strive to make sure your suspension system is working
at its optimal performance.
Suspension Systems
The suspension system is the bridge between the engine and the power it generates to the wheels
and the impact the road has on the vehicle. Movement and inertia create incredible forces on your
car’s frame. Your suspension system balances the vehicle. An improperly maintained suspension
system can create an unsafe vehicle and unsafe driving conditions for you, your family and other
drivers.
The engine and transmission (along with the drive shaft and differential) move the car forward, but to
make the vehicle manageable and driver-friendly, the suspension system absorbs the energy. A
worn steering and suspension system can create excess noise, premature tire wear, vibrations and
alignment damage. At Christian Brothers Automotive, we make sure your suspension system is fully
operational and up to your vehicle’s manufacturer standards.
Like all repairs and services at Christian Brothers Automotive, suspension, drive train, transmission
and engine repair, services and maintenance are covered by our 24 month/ 24,000 mile warranty.
Christian Brothers Automotive’s suspension service can repair or replace virtually all suspension
components, including: bushings, sway arms, center links, ball joints, idler arms, pitman arms, tie rod
sleeves, tie rod ends, struts, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints, CV boots, CV axle half shafts,
universal joints and springs and any other manufacturer specific components your vehicle may need.
