Car repair questions from Calgary drivers.

Right here. We do oil and filter changes on domestic and import vehicles at our shop in southeast Calgary. Your other options are the dealer or a big-name service station.

First check that the gas cap is on tight. A loose cap can turn the light on. If the light stays on, bring the car in for a diagnostic scan. We read the codes with Snap-on, Mac and OTC scan tools and tell you what we find before any repair.

It depends on the age of the vehicle, the type of ignition and how much you drive. Older cars without electronic ignition need tune-ups more often than newer ones. Your owner's manual lists the interval for your vehicle, and we can check it for you at your next service.

It depends on the vehicle's age, the type of oil and how you drive. Follow the interval in your owner's manual, or ask us at your next oil change what suits your driving.

A common guideline is at least every six months. Tires are built differently, so check your tire maker's recommendation for the exact interval. We can do a tire rotation with your next oil change.

Give your tires a quick look before you drive, and check the pressure with a gauge at least once a month.

A high-pitched squeal when you press the pedal is usually the first sign. Left too long, it turns into a grinding, metal-on-metal sound. If the car takes longer to stop, get it looked at right away. See brake repair.

Ask for a basic brake pad check at each oil change or regular service. For a closer look, book a brake service.

Common causes are rust on the rotors, worn brake pads or hard braking. Bring the car in and we will inspect the brakes and quote the fix before any work starts.

It depends on the repair. Some take a day, larger jobs take longer. You get a turnaround time after we diagnose the vehicle, and we keep you updated as the work moves along.
