We know you may have questions about your automotive service experience. Transit Care Auto Repair & Towing compiled this FAQ to provide clear, detailed answers that support your decisions for your vehicle’s maintenance and repair.
How long will it take to complete the repairs?
We aim to complete most repairs on the same day to get you back on the road efficiently. If a repair takes longer due to parts availability or complexity, we will discuss timelines clearly and assist with transportation arrangements to minimize inconvenience.
How much will it cost?
Repair costs depend on the type and scope of the work required. After inspecting your vehicle, we will provide an honest estimate and discuss options. We may also be able to arrange a payment plan if needed to ease your service experience.
My car is running rough. Do I need a tune-up?
A tune-up is part of preventive maintenance designed to keep your engine performing at its best. However, if your car is running rough, it could be caused by a deeper issue that a standard tune-up may not resolve. We recommend diagnostics to identify the exact cause.
Is there a charge to check out my car?
We typically provide a free inspection with any scheduled service. However, if the inspection is extensive, involves disassembly, or requires advanced diagnostic testing, there may be an additional charge. We will always inform you beforehand.
Do I need an appointment for a repair?
For minor repairs like oil changes or tire rotations, walk-ins are often accommodated quickly. For larger repairs, such as transmission work or engine diagnostics, it is best to schedule an appointment to ensure your vehicle is serviced efficiently.
What credit cards do you take?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. Debit cards and cash payments are also welcome at Transit Care Auto Repair & Towing for your convenience.
Why does my car need maintenance if it’s running fine?
Even if your vehicle seems to run well, routine maintenance is essential to prevent minor wear from developing into larger, costlier problems. Regular services help extend your engine’s lifespan and maintain overall vehicle performance.
What will happen if I don’t have the repairs done right now?
Delaying necessary repairs can cause the issue to worsen, leading to further damage, reduced drivability, and higher costs down the line. It can also compromise your vehicle’s dependability and performance during daily use.
What should I do when my check engine light comes on?
Your check engine light is a warning that something in the engine control or emissions system requires attention. Schedule diagnostics as soon as possible to avoid additional damage or performance issues.
How often should I have my brakes checked?
Brake check frequency varies depending on your vehicle and driving habits. As a general guideline, have your brakes inspected every 6 months or every 10,000 miles to ensure your braking system remains responsive.
What type of oil filter do I need?
The correct oil filter for your vehicle depends on its make and model. Refer to your owner’s manual for specifications, or our technicians can identify and install the recommended oil filter during your next service.
Do I really need winter tires?
If you live in an area with frequent snow or icy conditions, winter tires are highly recommended. They provide improved traction, braking, and handling in cold weather, making winter driving more manageable and reliable.
