SECOND, Emissions Testing:Â The Clear Air Act was amended in 1977 to address metropolitan areas with poor air quality. In 1982, New York State enacted its own standard, with attendant updates as the science and monitoring technology concerning emissions improved.

Steering and Suspension

Suspension Service/Repair
If your car pulls to one side when you take your hands off the steering wheel, you may have an alignment problem. When your vehicle handling is vague, as if there is a disconnect between your steering and suspension, consider an alignment check.
Steering Service/Repair
A shock absorber is mounted directly to the vehicleâ€™s frame and is basically an oil pump that changes the kinetic energy of suspension movement into heat energy via hydraulics and fluids.Â A strut is mounted inside a coil spring and in addition to performing this dampening function, it provides structural support for the suspension.Â Struts are pivot points for vehiclesâ€™ steering systems.Â Since struts impact wheel angles, an alignment is needed when replacing a strut.Â Both shocks and struts are speed sensitive, meaning that the amount of resistance increases or decreases based on how fast the suspension moves.Â A pair of struts could be double or triple the cost of a pair of shocks, but struts have greater functionality.

Heating and Cooling

Air Conditioning Service/Repair
Due to the wide variety of potential air conditioning failure sources, repair costs can range from simply adding a can of Freon to spending well over one thousand dollars. Of all of these issues, it is important to address leaks sooner to reduce the likelihood of more expensive repair later. Rubber seals and hoses lose their elasticity with age and if moisture enters your air conditioning system and mixes with refrigerant it will corrode your system on the inside with acid. If your A/C compressor fails so does the water pump, alternator and power steering.

How Often Should I Get a Wheel Alignment? Everything You Need to Know How often should you get a car wheel alignment? That’s a question that a lot of drivers are asking these days. The short answer is it depends. Your car’s age, driving habits, and even the type of terrain you drive on all […]
Tire Replacement
Your tires provide traction, balance, and stability. Tires also impact road noise and fuel economy.
Tire Service

Brake Service
We occasionally get questions about whatâ€™s the difference between types of brakes - disc or drum. Other times we get questions about using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts or upgrading standard discs to ceramic or metallic ones. It is worth reviewing how brakes work and recent automotive history.
Brake Fluid Service
Manufacturers have varying maintenance intervals for their different models. 30,000 miles is a typical guideline for brake fluid service and 40,000 miles for pad replacement.Â Consult your user manual for your exact recommendations.Â Obviously if you notice leaks or spots near where you park, then investigate that situation in a timely manner.
Brake Inspection
If you notice deterioration in overall braking, do not wait for an accident to happen. Instead,Â schedule an appointment at Fredâ€™s Auto Repair Â and weâ€™ll perform an expert evaluation. Our vehicle brake inspection service includes brake fluid exchanges or replacing brake parts such as rotors and drums, calipers, discs or the master cylinder. We recommend that customers opt forÂ BG Fluid Service * Â , our customized maintenance service, to qualify for additional warranty coverage.
Brake Repair
Plan 1: Upon initial service, if your car has logged fewer than 50,000 miles and you service your brakes every 30,000 youâ€™ll be covered for up to $4,000 in brake repairs.
Brake Replacement

Exterior/Interior

Headlight Restoration
Over time, you may notice that the road ahead is not as well illuminated as it used to be and then you should consider headlight restoration. Your car mileage may decline or your acceleration might seem slower than usual. If so, a tune-up migh t be warranted. You may notice your car drifts off-center when you drive and that might indicate the need for an alignment.

Electrical and Electronic

Lighting Services
Battery Service
In the event you can still turn on your lights, chances are that your battery is not dead. What it could indicate is that your car battery is on its last leg and may need replacement. If you think your lights seem weaker to dimmer than normal, that can mean your battery is almost dead. And if you are having trouble getting your car to crank, this might mean you need a car battery replacement as soon as you can.
Electrical Service/Repair

General Repairs
Operated by Fred Indorf, ASE Master Mechanic, Fredâ€™s Auto Repair was founded in 1974. If you car is not performing as expected, click here to schedule an appointment for a professional diagnosis followed by expert service.

Auto Maintenance
Automobile engines operate at high temperatures and have internal moving parts. Motor oil provides lubrication and helps to keep particles such as dust or sludge from getting into your engine. Protecting your engine with the appropriate oil filter, scheduled maintenance services and general auto care will allow you to reach high mileage with your car.
Belts and Hoses Service
At Fredâ€™s Auto Repair when we service your car, we also perform a complete chassis lube. We inspect your air filter, belts and hoses, fluid levels, and tire pressure.Â We perform a multipoint inspection on every car and text, email, or print out the results.
