Why is it important to have regular engine lube service and periodic check-ups?
Regular engine lube service and check-ups are important because they help to ensure that your vehicle's engine is running smoothly and efficiently. This can help to prevent costly repairs down the road and extend the lifespan of your vehicle.
How can an engine diagnostic help me understand the condition of my vehicle's engine?
An engine diagnostic can provide valuable information about the condition of your vehicle's engine by analyzing data from various sensors and systems. This can help to identify issues such as misfires, engine overheating, and fuel system problems, which can then be addressed before they lead to more serious problems.
What is engine overhauling, and when is it necessary?
Engine overhauling is a process in which an engine is disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt with new or reconditioned components. It is typically necessary when an engine has suffered significant damage or wear and is no longer functioning properly. It can also be done as part of a performance upgrade to increase horsepower and torque.
What are the benefits of an engine oil guard treatment?
An engine oil guard treatment can help to protect your engine from wear and tear by providing a layer of lubrication between moving parts. It can also help to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions by keeping the engine running smoothly.
What is an engine oil flush, and when should I get it done?
An engine oil flush is a process in which a special cleaning solution is used to remove built-up sludge and other contaminants from the engine. It is typically done as part of a routine maintenance schedule or when the engine has suffered significant damage or wear.
Why is it important to replace drive belts in my vehicle?
Drive belts are responsible for powering a variety of systems in your vehicle, including the alternator, air conditioning compressor, and power steering pump. Over time, these belts can become worn and cracked, which can lead to reduced performance and even system failure. Replacing them on a regular basis can help to prevent these issues.
How can I choose the right battery for my vehicle?
When choosing a battery for your vehicle, it is important to consider factors such as the size and type of battery required, as well as the climate and driving conditions in your area. You should also look for a battery with a high cold cranking amp (CCA) rating, which indicates its ability to start the engine in cold weather.
Why is it important to replace the fuel system in my vehicle?
The fuel system is responsible for delivering fuel to the engine, and over time, components such as fuel filters and fuel pumps can become clogged or worn. This can lead to reduced performance, poor fuel efficiency, and even engine damage. Replacing these components on a regular basis can help to prevent these issues.
How can I tell if I need to replace my brake pads?
You may need to replace your brake pads if you notice symptoms such as squeaking or grinding noises when braking, reduced braking performance, or vibrations in the brake pedal. It is important to have your brakes inspected regularly to ensure that they are in good working condition.
Why is it important to get commercial vehicle brakes overhauled?
It is important to get commercial vehicle brakes overhauled to ensure that they are in good working condition and meet safety standards. Commercial vehicles tend to be heavier and carry more weight, so their brakes need to be able to handle the added stress. Over time, the brake system can become worn or damaged, leading to decreased performance and safety concerns. Regular brake overhauls can help catch any issues before they become major problem and keep the vehicle and its occupants safe.
What is brake disc refacing, and when is it necessary?
Brake disc refacing is a process that involves resurfacing the brake disc, which is part of the braking system that the brake pads grip onto in order to slow or stop the vehicle. This process removes a small amount of material from the disc's surface, creating a smooth and even surface that can help the brake pads grip more effectively. Brake disc refacing is typically necessary when the brake disc becomes worn or damaged, causing vibrations or noise during braking.
What is brake drum refacing, and when is it necessary?
Brake drum refacing is a process that involves resurfacing the brake drum, which is part of the braking system that the brake shoes press against in order to slow or stop the vehicle. This process removes a small amount of material from the drum's surface, creating a smooth and even surface that can help the brake shoes grip more effectively. Brake drum refacing is typically necessary when the brake drum becomes worn or damaged, causing vibrations or noise during braking.
When should I consider replacing my vehicle's suspension?
You should consider replacing your vehicle's suspension if you notice any signs of wear or damage, such as excessive bouncing or swaying, uneven tire wear, or a noticeable decrease in ride comfort. Additionally, if your vehicle has high mileage or has been driven on rough roads or off-road terrain, the suspension components may be more prone to wear and may need to be replaced sooner.
What types of suspension systems are available, and which one is best for my vehicle?
There are several types of suspension systems available, including independent front suspension, solid axle suspension, and air suspension. The best suspension system for your vehicle depends on your driving needs and preferences. Independent front suspension is typically better for handling and ride comfort, while solid axle suspension is better for towing or hauling heavy loads. Air suspension can offer improved ride comfort and adjustability, but can be more expensive to repair. It is best to consult with a trusted mechanic or suspension specialist to determine which type of suspension system is best for your vehicle and your specific driving needs.
What type of oil do you use during an engine lube service, and is it appropriate for my vehicle?
At CAM Auto Centre, we use high-quality engine oils that are recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. We have different types of engine oils that are suitable for various vehicles and their engines. Our technicians are knowledgeable and will choose the appropriate engine oil for your vehicle.
How often should I bring my vehicle in for regular maintenance check-ups, and what is typically included in these services?
It is recommended to bring your vehicle in for regular maintenance check-ups every 6-12 months or as per the manufacturer's recommendation. During these check-ups, our technicians will inspect and test various components of your vehicle, including fluid levels, brakes, steering, suspension, and tires. We will also check the engine and transmission for any issues.
What is the typical turnaround time for an engine diagnostic, and will I be provided with a detailed report of the findings?

Our technicians will inspect your engine and provide you with an estimate of the cost. You may need an engine overhaul if you are experiencing issues such as poor engine performance, excessive oil consumption, or frequent breakdowns.
