Our Services: Comprehensive Care

Regular maintenance is far more than a recommendation; it's the foundation of your vehicle's performance, lifespan, safety, and resale value. At the LaFontaine Automotive Group, we understand this necessity firsthand and offer a full range of services to keep your car, truck, or SUV in excellent condition. Here's a closer look at many of the services we offer, along with why they matter and what you can expect from our incredible team:

Oil & Filter Changes 

Routine oil changes are the most essential service for any vehicle. Your car's engine relies on many moving components working together in harsh conditions where heat and debris are unavoidable. Engine oil improves these conditions by lubricating the moving parts, reducing friction, managing heat, and picking up dust, dirt, and other debris. Over time, the oil breaks down and collects contaminants. Eventually, the oil level drops, and it's less effective because it turns into sludge. 

Routine oil changes resolve these issues, mitigating the potential for excessive wear and tear, overheating, and premature engine failure. Our technicians will replace the oil and filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations for your make and model, using genuine OEM parts to maximize fuel efficiency, improve performance, and extend the life of your engine. 

Battery Testing & Replacement

Vehicles rely heavily on their electrical systems, from starting the engine to powering comfort and infotainment features. Your car's battery plays a pivotal role in powering these features, making a healthy battery essential for ensuring all-season reliability, whether facing plummeting temperatures in winter or a summer heatwave. 

Over time, batteries naturally lose their capacity, with harsh environments and demanding driving conditions amplifying wear and tear. You may notice that your engine is slow to start or that the electrical components aren't functioning properly, such as dim headlights or lukewarm heated seats. These signs indicate it's time to have your battery tested.

Our technicians will run diagnostics to test the health of your battery. They'll inspect the charging system, look for signs of damage or corrosion, and install a high-quality replacement, if needed. 

Tire Services 

Tires are the only part of your vehicle that makes contact with the road, making it essential to keep them in excellent condition. As your car's engine provides a steady stream of power, the tires directly affect everything from its handling and brake responsiveness to efficiency, traction, and ride quality. 

Routine tire maintenance is critical to your safety behind the wheel. With every oil and filter change, our technicians will rotate the tires to promote even wear—a crucial service that heightens their longevity and helps you get more miles out of your investment. 

Our tire services extend beyond the basics to balancing, alignments, repairs, and installation. With cutting-edge diagnostic tools and equipment, we can efficiently balance the wheels to eliminate vibrations or perform an alignment, ensuring the wheels and suspension are perfectly aligned for precise handling. You can also trust our tire experts to help you shop for new tires—a bespoke experience that minimizes the stress often associated with the process. 

Transmission Services

The transmission in your vehicle transfers power from the engine to the wheels—a process that requires plenty of lubrication to operate smoothly, effectively, and efficiently. Transmission fluid handles that task, helping cool and protect the transmission components. However, like engine oil, it breaks down over time. 

Our technicians will conduct routine transmission inspections, evaluate the components, and top off the fluids as needed. If you experience transmission-related issues, such as delayed shifting, grinding noises, or rough gear changes, they can diagnose and address the problem, whether it's a faulty component or leaking fluid. 

Brakes, Rotors, & Pads 

Your vehicle's brakes are its sole means of stopping, which is why routine brake maintenance is one of the most vital services we offer. Brake pads, rotors, and calipers wear down gradually through everyday driving, especially if you spend a lot of time in stop-and-go traffic. 

Our brake services are comprehensive and begin with the essentials: brake inspections that enable our technicians to thoroughly inspect the entire system. You can rely on our certified technicians to diagnose issues such as squeaking, grinding, or vibrations, which may indicate it's time to replace the brake pads or have the rotors resurfaced or replaced. 

Steering, Suspension, & Struts 

Your vehicle's ride quality and stability rely on a healthy suspension system. Components like the struts and shocks help absorb bumps, maintain traction, and ensure proper handling. However, these parts wear down over time, especially if you spend a lot of time on rough terrain or pothole-laden roads. 

Your suspension system needs attention when you experience a rougher ride, poor handling, drifting, or uneven tire wear. Our technicians will listen attentively to what you've experienced behind the wheel and conduct a comprehensive inspection to diagnose any suspension-related issues. 

Engine Diagnostics & Repairs

Is there a Check Engine light staring back at you on the dashboard? This pesky light is your vehicle's way of telling you something critical needs attention. 

Our service centers are equipped with the latest diagnostic tools, enabling our certified technicians to quickly and accurately identify issues. It may be a problem with the sensors, ignition components, or emissions system; whatever it is, addressing these warnings early helps prevent more serious and expensive repairs. 

Heating & Air Conditioner Services

Michigan's climate demands a reliable HVAC system; otherwise, you'll face frigid winter temperatures and scorching summer heat waves. Beyond keeping you comfortable, your car's heating and cooling systems also impact your safety, particularly in terms of windshield visibility and engine cooling. 

Our HVAC experts will ensure your system is running smoothly. Aside from comprehensive system inspections, they can resolve issues with components, such as the heater core, blower motor, and radiator. They'll also replace the cabin air filter and recharge the air conditioner, as needed. 

Manufacturer-Recommended Maintenance 

You can rely on our experts to handle your vehicle's routine maintenance, which is outlined in your owner's manual. These essential services are often interval-based and are designed to keep your vehicle running efficiently while adhering to your warranty coverage. Common milestone services include fluid replacements, spark plug replacement, drive belt inspections, timing belt or chain assessments, and multipoint inspections. 

How to Know It's Time for Service 

Following routine maintenance intervals is essential, but you may notice your car needs attention beforehand. Here are a few common signs that indicate it's time to bring your vehicle in for expert care: 

• Unusual Noises: Your car shouldn't make any strange noises, since any grinding, squealing, clicking, or knocking indicates worn or failing components. 
• Dashboard Warning Lights: The computer system in your car will alert you to issues via the dashboard, such as the Check Engine or Change Oil lights. You can also see issues with the anti-lock brakes, battery, and tire pressure. 
• Vibrations or Pulling: If you feel vibrations or notice your vehicle pulling to one side, it may be related to the wheels, suspension, or steering. By listening to your experience, our technicians can diagnose the issue and get you back on the road.
• Reduced Efficiency: A sudden decline in fuel economy can cause you to spend more at the pump. However, it also indicates potential issues with the engine, tires, or emissions system, all of which we can address at our state-of-the-art automotive centers. 
• Hard Starts or Electrical Issues: Trouble starting your engine is often due to the battery or alternator, both of which require immediate attention. When left unaddressed, these issues can leave you stranded and inconvenienced.
• Leaking Fluids: Whether it's oil, coolant, or transmission fluid, any leak should be inspected immediately. These fluids are essential to your vehicle's performance, and when addressed early on, are often straightforward repairs.
• Changes in Braking: If the brake pedal feels soft, spongy, or requires more pressure, it's time for a brake inspection. As your car's only stopping power, addressing any issues with the brakes is critical to your safety on the road.
