Fullerton Engine Repair And More
There’s nothing more annoying than driving down Orangethorpe Avenue and your vehicle is suddenly making a new noise, or there’s a different type of smoke coming from the tail pipe or a few drops of oil on the driveway. It’s always a bad timing when one of these little repair shows up and you’re never ready to have to spend your hard earned money on your vehicle. Even our Fullerton weekend DIY folks sometimes put off these repairs because it’s a dirty job or can eat up their entire day off. Sadly, these types of minor issues may not stop you from maintaining your regular driving routine, but if you ignore them for too long you may need a tow truck. Here are few repairs you should not put off too long before they become a costly repair and visit Orozco’s Auto Service of Fullerton.
WORN SHOCKS / STRUTS
Worn out shocks and struts seem to always sneaking up on you. It’s not like they go bad overnight, but when they are at the end of their service life they may as well not be there at all. Shocks and struts take a lot of abuse like pot holes and speed bumps and that would normally be transmitted to other chassis components. Without that initial protection, those chassis parts wear out quick. Shocks are usually fairly straightforward to replace, and strut replacement has become easier thanks to the availability of modular strut assemblies. Once the job is done, the difference will be immediately apparent on your ride.
FLUID LEAKS
If you have been topping off your oil for a long time rather than finding the leak, it is time to schedule an appointment with Orozco’s Auto Service. While a small fluid drip may be annoying on your driveway, it can also coat your engine and damage other more sensitive components. Delaying that power steering pump leak repair will sure seem silly when it floods into the alternator and your vehicle wont start. So do yourself and your driveway a favor and get it fixed.
FAILING CV AXLES
You know you’ve already been warned your CV boots are torn, but there’s no way to know just when the joint inside will start to fail. If you’re hearing a clicking and popping when turning left or right, then it’s time for new axles. Waiting too long could lead to dangerous driveline vibrations and possibly even failure of the axle assembly itself. Make the time and contact Orozco’s Auto Service.
EXHAUST LEAKS
While the noise from an exhaust leak can sometimes be fixed by turning up the radio, an exhaust leak can also lead to dangerous fumes finding their way into the passenger compartment. In extreme cases a leak can also burn or melt nearby components. Unfortunately they can also be hard to track down, especially when buried in the engine compartment. Cast iron manifolds can crack, bolts can break, gaskets can fail, and exhaust pipes can rust through. The straight forward repair is to let Orozco’s Auto Service replace the offending part.
