Your car sends signals when its carburetor is going bad. Sometimes the engine cranks but won’t turn over (and you know the battery isn’t dead). Other times, you can experience poor acceleration or overheating.

Sometimes all you need is a carburetor overhaul, which includes a good cleaning. Other times, you may need to replace the carburetor. Our technicians can thoroughly inspect your vehicle’s carburetor and recommend what makes the most sense.

Your vehicle’s engine generates a lot of heat. Without a cooling system that includes a water pump, radiator, and hoses, that heat could damage the engine within minutes. Following your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance and replacement of hoses and coolant can keep some problems at bay.

For hoses, we recommend replacement every four years or 50,000 to 75,000 miles. Don’t forget about the clamps that hold the hoses in place. They can weaken over time.

Coolant helps keep your engine from overheating in hot New Mexico weather. Replace your coolant every two years or 30,000 miles.

If any of these components fail, our technicians can quickly repair or replace them to get your vehicle back on the roadways.
