Undercar Services

When it comes to the upkeep of your car or truck, Deutmeyer Auto Advantage uses an all-encompassing method. This means that before we look into the inner workings of your vehicle, we make sure that the foundation is solid. A thorough undercar service takes care of your vehicle’s base – a sometimes ignored yet vital component.

 

Wheel Alignment

Aligning the wheels so that they point in the direction specified by the car’s manufacturer is a standard maintenance operation. In order to reduce tire wear, it is essential that the steering and suspension systems be set at their most efficient angles of operation.

 

Anti-Lock Brakes

Rapid deceleration may cause wheel lockup. However, anti-lock brakes automatically adjust the braking power during an emergency stop to prevent the wheels from locking. This system may assist the wheels in maintaining traction with the road while using the brakes. The risk of accidents or skidding out of control rises if the anti-lock brakes don’t work.

 

Brakes

The brakes are a crucial part of every vehicle. Without them, you would be unable to stop your car. If the brakes on your vehicle aren’t functioning properly, you should give serious thought to having them replaced as soon as possible.

 

Chassis

The chassis is the car’s interior skeleton that holds the body and other parts, such as the wheels, engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and suspension. A car with a flimsy chassis won’t go very far. To guarantee that your automobile is both solid and dependable, it is important to have the chassis thoroughly examined for any potential issues down the line.

 

Differentials

The differential transmits the engine’s power to the wheels. Its name comes from the fact that it allows each wheel to spin at a separate speed while still receiving power. When turning, the differential in a car compensates for the difference in distance between the car’s inner and outer wheels. Because of its less prominent position, the differential in most cars without all-wheel drive seldom gets as much attention as the engine. The single most important thing for every driver to realize is that if the differential fails, the automobile will be useless. To avoid differential failure, the fluid should be changed every 30,000 to 50,000 miles.

 

Driveline

The term “driveline” refers to the assembly in your vehicle that links the engine to the wheels. In the case of a breakdown in the driveline, the engine would be unable to transmit power to the wheel axles, rendering the vehicle immobile.

 

Shocks

Mechanical shock absorbers smooth out your drive by converting road-borne momentum into less disruption. When the shocks go out, driving on bumpy roads becomes dangerous since the vehicle might wobble, especially when making turns.

 

Struts

Struts work similarly to shock absorbers in that they dampen the impact of your vehicle’s movement on the road surface. Struts provide a distinct role from shocks, however, since they provide structural support for your car’s suspension. Struts support your vehicle’s load, while shocks regulate the pace at which that load is delivered. Struts have a typical lifespan of 50,000 to 60,000 miles, with a decline in motion-dampening qualities beyond that distance.
