The braking system is the most important system in your car for auto repair and/or auto service. Brakes are actually energy conversion devices that convert the kinetic energy (momentum) of your vehicle into thermal energy (heat). When you step on the brakes, you command a stopping force 10 times as powerful as the force that puts the car in motion. The braking system can exert thousands of pounds of pressure on each of the four brakes. If your brakes fail, the results can be disastrous. Keeping brakes in good working order is a priority, and we can help make your car safer with a thorough inspection, and if necessary, replace or repair parts to improve your safety and stopping power. We offer complete brake service and brake repair. Brake inspection includes: Inspection of the brake pads and shoes, and documenting the remaining thickness, or life of the tire Inspection for leaks from wheel cylinders, lines, calipers and master cylinder Realign front disc brakes and replacement of brake shoes Rotor and drum refinishing

The clutch pedal is what a driver of a manual transmission presses in order to change gears. Drivers who prefer more control over their vehicles often prefer manual transmissions. However, clutch pedals wear out over time because of the friction built up while driving and changing gears. This inevitably creates clutch pedal problems. There are many things that can affect the clutch. The most common cause of premature clutch disc wear comes from the driver riding the clutch, and this creates clutch slippage. If the clutch makes a squealing noise that goes away when the clutch pedal is engaged, the most likely culprit is a worn release bearing. If this is the case, the bearing needs to be replaced as soon as possible to ensure no further damage is done. Lastly, if the clutch pedal will not release, it means the slave cylinder is beginning to go bad or the linkage is misaligned. Santa Rosa Transmission and Car Care strives for excellence in clutch repair and every other service our shop offers.

The purpose of the engine’s cooling system is to keep the engine operating at its most efficient temperature by removing excess heat from the engine, which allows the engine to come up to the correct temperature as soon as possible after starting. Ideally, the cooling system keeps the engine running at its most efficient temperature regardless of the operating conditions. The radiator cools the engine and is also responsible for cooling the automatic transmission. The coolant must be monitored so it can become too alkaline, have high Ph levels and electrolysis, which can corrode the engine from the inside out. Santa Rosa Transmission and Car Care offers the following auto repair heating and cooling system diagnostics and service: Radiators, hoses, belts and thermostats Fan clutches, electric fans Water pumps Transmission coolers Air conditioning Radiator Service Radiator Flush

The differential is a device that splits the engine torque two ways, allowing each output to spin at a different speed. The differential is found on all modern cars and trucks, and also in many all-wheel-drive vehicles. These all-wheel-drive vehicles need a differential between each set of drive wheels, and they need one between the front and the back wheels as well, because the front wheels travel a different distance through a turn than the rear wheels. For example, when a car is driving straight down the road, both drive wheels are spinning at the same speed. When a car makes a turn, however, the wheels must spin at different speeds. When your differentials are not working properly, your tires may spin with too much power or too little power when you drive over ice, off-road, or on a surface that does not allow for much traction. For example, an 8″ differential, locked + 1 heavy truck + 1 powerful engine + too much throttle is a bad combination. Constant off-road driving may create broken gears, thus damaging the ability for the differential to do its job. Servicing and repairing your differentials will help you keep control of your vehicle when faced with adverse driving conditions.

When the automotive industry was in its infancy, it used electricity only to ignite the inside of an engine. By the late 1920s, the electric starter replaced the hand crank, electric headlights made acetylene lamps obsolete and the braying of the electric horn drowned out the squeak of the hand-squeezed air horn. Today, an automobile requires an elaborate electrical configuration of circuits just to produce, store and distribute all the electricity it needs just for everyday operation. There are dozens of different sensors throughout the vehicle. Today’s vehicles have multiple computers, sometimes as many as eight to 12; most have at least three internal computers. When these sensors become faulty, it can result in concerns about the car’s driveability. Since today’s vehicles are computer-controlled, we have the latest technology in scanners and software to communicate with your vehicle’s computer. Santa Rosa Transmission and Car Care offers the following electrical diagnostics and repair: Driveability Batteries Electric diagnosis Computer diagnosis Alternators Starters Lights Check Engine light diagnosis

Fuel provides necessary ingredients to the engine of a car. The air-fuel mixture must be in direct proportion to the speed and load placed on the engine. Major parts of the system include: tank and cap, emission controls, line, pump, filter, carburetor and intake manifold, as well as the gauge, which indicates the amount of fuel in the tank. When gasoline is burned in your engine, carbon deposits will accumulate on the throttle body, intake valves, combustion chambers, fuel injectors and emission system components Periodically adding a fuel injection cleaner, such as Redline SI-1, to a tank of gas will help restore mileage, power, throttle response, and reduce harmful emissions. It cleans injectors, valve deposits and even carburetors. It is also safe for catalytic converters and sensors.

Generally, the timing belt (or timing chain) is the sole component that keeps the camshaft and crankshaft in sync. Replacing the timing belt (a cogged reinforced-rubber belt) at regular intervals — generally every 60,000 miles unless the automobile manufacturer specifies longer — is a lot less expensive and aggravating than having it break while the engine is running. A broken timing belt usually means catastrophe for an interference engine, and major inconvenience for a non-interference engine. In an interference engine, the valves and piston share the same air space. They never touch, unless your timing belt breaks or skips, and this is a catastrophic failure that requires removing the head and replacing bent valves. Non-interference engines do not risk this contact if the timing belt goes. Nonetheless, either can leave you stranded, so regular timing belt replacement is very important. Santa Rosa Transmission and Car Care strives for excellence in the replacement of timing belts and every other service our shop offers.
