All Texas registered vehicles are required to receive an annual state inspection. Your vehicle will be checked to determine if it passes inspection based on the Texas state guidelines and recommendations provided to bring the vehicle into compliance. Each state inspection service includes a comprehensive safety inspection as well as an emissions test depending on the model year of your vehicle and the county your vehicle is registered. Diesel powered vehicles and motorcycles are exempt from the emissions test and are required to only have the annual safety inspection.

High mileage motor oil includes additives that can extend your engine’s life by reducing oil burn-off and consumption, revitalizing seals and gaskets, improving anti-wear protection, reducing engine deposits, increasing power, and fuel economy. High mileage motor oils are recommended for all vehicles with more than 75,000 miles.

Every full-service oil change includes inspection and top-off of power steering fluid. Most vehicles have a hydraulic power steering system. When working properly, the power steering system makes turning easy while still providing the proper amount of road feel for the driver.

We inspect and top-off the automatic transmission fluid, and visually inspect these units for signs of leaks. The automatic transmission receives power from the motor, regulates the output based on the vehicle’s needs, and automatically changes gear ratios based on the RPM and speed of the vehicle. The fluid keeps operating parts well lubricated, transmits torque, provides pressure to operate hydraulic valves, and assists in cooling.

We visually inspect gearboxes and check fluids upon request. The type and number of different gearboxes in your vehicle can vary based on the drive-train.

We check cooling system fluid levels with every full-service oil change. Many of today’s engines are liquid or ‘water’ cooled. Typically, coolant or anti-freeze is mixed with water to help prevent damage to the cooling system and engine. The cooling system works best when the coolant is diluted based on the recommended ratio set by the vehicle manufacturer.

Let Oil Changers maintain your cabin air filter to keep your HVAC system working well. We inspect it with every full-service oil change. A clean filter can trap almost all of the airborne contaminants before they enter the cabin. A dirty cabin air filter can circulate dust, pollen, and bacteria around the cabin, affecting passengers and adding stress to the HVAC system.

We inspect the condition of your wiper blades at each full-service oil change and provide replacement services upon request. All Oil Changers locations stock front and rear replacement blades for most vehicles.

The timing belt / chain service on a vehicle maintains crankshaft-to-camshaft synchronization so that the engine’s valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder’s intake and exhaust strokes, keeping valve operation matched to piston position. This causes the fuel to ignite in the combustion chamber and during this explosion, the valves push the pistons down. On some engines, the timing belt/chain also drives other critical components such as the oil pump, water pump and balance shafts. When the timing belt is neglected and breaks, all the components that are driven by the belt fail and can cause major internal engine damage. Unfortunately, there are no obvious signs the timing belt is near the end of its life; it will just break. Check your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations to see when the timing belt is recommended to be serviced.

Beyond providing a comfortable and enjoyable ride, your vehicle’s suspension, coil springs, linkage, shock absorbers and struts help make sure your vehicle’s handling is in control, safe and secure. These vital components also help support your vehicle’s weight while keeping your tires in contact with the road. As these components begin to wear, they lose their ability to control your vehicle’s lean and provide tire grip/adhesion when encountering uneven roads. The loss of stability and control can compromise the safety of your vehicle and passengers. Let the team at ServiceOne Automotive service your suspension, shocks, & struts today.

Today’s bumpy roads and overgrown potholes can cause the alignment on your vehicle to be compromised, causing it to pull to the left or right rather than driving in a straight line. This condition can lead to uneven and premature tire wear and a reduction in gas mileage. However, just because your car drives in a straight line does NOT mean you’re in the clear. In many cases, a camber issue will cause a pull but a toe issue may not. In addition, if your vehicle’s steering wheel is not centered when you’re driving straight, you may have an alignment problem which is not only a nuisance to your driving comfort, but a bigger problem for your tires and suspension system. Stop by ServiceONE Automotive for an alignment service check so one of our ASE Certified technicians can help identify problems before they become severe and expensive. ServiceONE Automotive has the latest and greatest computerized alignment machines and software so that our expert technicians can correct alignments to their original manufacturer specifications.
