Oil Changes

Getting your vehicle's oil changed regularly (usually every 5,000 km or so) is extremely important. Using the wrong type of oil, or not getting the oil changed regularly, can seriously damage the lubrication system of your vehicle. Your Classic Automotive technicians can help you determine the right type of oil and maintenance schedule to prevent unnecessary repair in the future.

Suspension

A functioning suspension system ensures your vehicle can handle all the curves of the road, can accelerate and brake properly, and will absorb the road’s imperfections. If your vehicle shows signs of a faulty suspension system, such as premature tire wear or the front of the vehicle slumping when you brake, it may be time to take your vehicle in for diagnosis. The suspension system includes many intricate parts, so remember to follow your manufacturer’s guidelines or talk to us to learn about its proper maintenance. Let us help you weather the road’s challenges! 

Electrical

Your car’s battery, starter, and alternator are essential to its proper function. As well as helping to start your car, your electrical system is necessary for powering your lights, ABS, climate control, and many other components of your vehicle. Get in touch with us to learn about how to keep your electrical system working optimally. 

Air Conditioning

Proper inspection and maintenance of your air conditioning system year round can prevent expensive repairs in the future. Strange noises, odours, and lack of freshness may all indicate a faulty air conditioning system. To keep your vehicle cool and your system working at its best, talk to us.

Wheel Alignment

Every vehicle requires a specific wheel alignment to function at its best. Hitting potholes or driving over speed bumps may impact your vehicle’s alignment. If you notice your steering wheel vibrating or the car pulling to one side, your vehicle’s alignment may be off. It’s time to bring it in to get it properly checked!

Exhaust

The various parts that make up your exhaust system need to be regularly inspected and maintained. However, before servicing your exhaust system, you must service your engine. There are many possible signs you need to have your exhaust system serviced, including a noisy engine, decreased fuel efficiency, a burning or gas smell, and a dragging exhaust pipe. Bring your vehicle in to us if any of these issues arise, or to learn about proper exhaust system maintenance.

Brakes

As you probably realize, your brake system is an important safety feature of your vehicle; as such, it’s important to make sure all its parts are working properly. There are many signs of a failing brake system, such as your brake pedal being harder to push or your vehicle taking longer than normal to come to a stop. Replacing brake fluid regularly is one thing you can do to ensure your brake system keeps you safe. Let us help you figure out the right type of brake fluid for your vehicle and the proper maintenance needed to keep your system working well.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Regular inspection and maintenance of your tires will make them last longer, as well as make your drive smoother. You can inspect your vehicle’s tires on your own to make sure that there are no bulges or punctures, and you can top up the air when your tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicates low air in your tires. We can help answer questions you may have about your tires. For example, in addition to synchronizing your TPMS with your vehicle’s central computer, we can can replace or change your tires seasonally and align them when necessary.

Seasonal Checkovers

Don’t wait for your vehicle’s dashboard indicator to go off before bringing your vehicle in for service. Classic Auto offers comprehensive seasonal services to ensure your vehicle can handle the unique challenges of Canadian weather. Let our Classic Auto technicians help you determine a maintenance schedule that reflects your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations.

Roadside Assistance

The NAPA Emergency Roadside Assistance Program gives you that extra peace of mind you need on the road. Our program includes towing, battery boost, lock-out service, fluid delivery, and flat tire change. As soon as we’ve registered your vehicle, you’re covered automatically for six months!

Scanning & Diagnostic

A strange noise, bad smell, or vehicle malfunction can mean so many things. It’s important to let professionals diagnose and fix the problem. Getting your vehicle diagnosed as soon as you think there may be a problem can not only save you more costly repairs down the road, but also keep you and your passengers safe. Let our experts interpret your vehicle’s dashboard indicator icons using our diagnostic equipment to isolate the problem and to give you peace of mind.

NOTICE TO CONSUMERS

Vehicle maintenance and the manufacturer’s warranty: myth vs. reality. 

Having your vehicle serviced by an Automotive Service Professional is a guarantee of safety and gives you peace of mind. But who should you trust with your car’s maintenance? Do you risk voiding the manufacturer’s warranty?

In the interest of transparency, and to dispel any myths and preconceived notions that may be going around, the Automotive Industries Association of Canada (AIA) has published an important notice for all Canadian motorists, regardless of their province of residence. 

Choosing your own Automotive Service Professional to perform your car’s routine maintenance does not mean compromising your vehicle’s warranty.

Your car’s maintenance can be entrusted to any Automotive Service Professional who complies with the manufacturer’s service recommendations.

This important fact lets you decide if you want to trust your vehicle’s maintenance to a member of the manufacturer’s network or to a network of Automotive Service Professionals located across Canada.
