Keeping Your Car or Truck “Healthy” – Quick, Convenient and Guaranteed Scheduled Maintenance

For most people their vehicles represent their second largest investment next to their home. It only makes sense to protect those investments by following the manufacturer’s recommended scheduled maintenance but we also understand that life happens and a trip to the shop for service represents an interruption in a busy schedule.

At Petaluma Auto Works we make that trip as quick and hassle free as possible. Give us a call, tell us what kind of service you want and when you can make it in. We’ll be ready for you when you arrive and we’ll have you on your way as quickly as possible.

We’re fast but we are thorough and we only use quality parts and fluids. More importantly, all service is performed by local mechanics who couldn’t image doing any other type of work.

Scheduled Maintenance Services

• Oil and oil filter change. Oil is the lifeblood of your engine and if it is allowed to “get dirty” it can cause major engine damage (and a major repair bill) down the road. We use the manufacturer’s recommended grade and type oil and change frequency. However, we advise our customers who drive in stop and go traffic and make frequent trips of 10 miles or less to consider changing the oil more frequently than the manufacturer’s recommendation.
• Coolant flushing. Your radiator’s coolant needs to be changed at recommended intervals to not only maintain optimum performance but to prevent damage to the radiator itself. When we flush the coolant we will also inspect the hoses to ensure you don’t experience an unpleasant burst hose surprise while on the road.
• Tire repair, replacement, rotation. If you pick up a nail we’ll fix it. If it’s time for replacement we carry a select line of quality tires that we will balance and mount.
• 30k – 60k – 90k tune up. We will inspect and/or replace all of the items that the manufacturer recommends in its tune up schedule. Typically this will include spark plugs, spark plug wires, air filter, fuel filter, belts and a full diagnostic. All the work is accomplished by professional mechanics that are happy to explain what they did and what, if any, issues they found that may need addressing in the future.
• Battery charging, replacement and installation. We can do a quick diagnostic on your battery to determine if it just needs a charge or if it needs to be replaced. We carry a select line of batteries that suitable for most models.

When you want service done right the first time by certified mechanics give Petaluma Auto Works a call and we will be happy to schedule an appointment.
