  • How often do I need a tune-up?

    Every vehicle has a slightly different tune-up schedule. Your best starting place is to check the owner’s manual. Otherwise, bring it to Ed's Auto Repair so we can take a look. We are familiar with every major automotive brand on the market today. We are qualified to make recommendations for tune-ups, oil changes, and other preventative maintenance services based on the make and model and the actual condition of your vehicle. Let the experts handle your auto repair and maintenance.

  • How often should I change my oil?

    Up until recently, the standard recommendation was 3,000 miles or three months, according to our experts. However, with new high-efficiency oils, that number has been extended to between 7,500 and 10,000 miles. Since it depends on your vehicle, bring it in to have us take a look at it. Contact us to schedule an oil change and other auto repair services.

  • When should I get my tires rotated?

    According to our experts, industry standards stipulate that your tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 6,000 miles. If you’re not sure, schedule an appointment with our professionals. According to IBISWorld, there are 286,000 auto repair businesses in the United States, but we're the ones to count on. Contact us today!

  • How often should I check my tire pressure?

    In our experience, you should check your tire pressure at least once a month to ensure the continued health of your tires. Get in touch with our team for tire and auto repair!

  • How do I know when I need new brakes?

    If your brakes begin to get spongy, jittery, or make a lot of noise, it’s probably time to bring them in for a brake repair and service. You may require new fluid, a caliper adjustment, new rotors, new brake lines, or new brake shoes.

  • How often should I have my brakes checked?

    It’s important that your brakes are checked every tune-up. However, if you haven’t brought your vehicle in for a tune-up in a while, our experts recommend that you have your brakes checked every 10,000 miles or so. If anything feels off, be sure to stop driving and schedule an appointment for brake repair right away!

  • Why are my brakes squealing? How can I stop it?

    Your brakes can be squealing for a number of reasons. The most common ones are worn-out brake shoes, maladjusted calipers, lack of insulation shims, improper rotor surface cut, glazed shoes, and more. The best way to stop it is to get an expert involved. Contact us to schedule brake repair.

  • How long do repairs usually take?

    It depends on the kind of auto repair you require. Some services, like transmission repairs, are more intensive than others, like oil changes. We will give you a complete schedule with your quote.
