Most requested services in Clifton

Auto Repair

Auto Repair can be anything. It is any repair that is done to your automobile. But, in this section, we are just talking about the small auto repair jobs. These are the little things that go wrong in a vehicle, like:

  • ABS Lights
  • Traction Control Lights
  • Electrical Diagnostics
  • Vibration Issues
  • Shakes in Steering
  • Fuel Pumps 
  • Window Regulators
  • Radiator Replacements
  • And more . . . 

At Ethan’s Honest Automotive we can work on any auto repair issue. Don’t put this maintenance off or you could be looking at a very broken vehicle later on.  

Oil Changes

Oil changes are another important service that we provide Clifton. Most people get their oil changed more than any other type of vehicle maintenance. That is a good thing, oil changes are one of the most important things you can do for the health of your car. We recommend that you get your oil changed approximately every 4000 miles or three to four months. Different cars have different recommendations, however. Read your user manual to discover how often your manufacturer mentions having your oil changed. 

Brake Service

The brakes are an extremely important vehicle system. They are what stop the car, which keeps you from causing an accident. Your brake system is not just your brakes. Along with the brakes themselves, all of the following parts are integral to your ability to stop the car. 

  • Master cylinder
  • Brake hoses
  • Brake linings
  • Drum hardware
  • Brake fluid
  • Brake lubricant
  • Wheel bearings 

At Ethan’s Honest Automotive, our specialists provide a full brake work-up every time you bring in the vehicle.  

A/C Service 

In Clifton, you need A/C in the summer. The hotter the weather, the better the A/C will feel. Without A/C in your vehicle, you will be in for a very hot drive. It can even get too hot in the vehicle and cause you or passenger harm. Let Ethan’s Honest Automotive look at your A/C and recharge it regularly. Our specialists will keep this crucial car system running for you. 

Suspension service

You need a suspension just as much as you need an A/C or the brakes. The suspension governs how bumpy your car is. It is also connected to your power steering. Power steering problems can be very serious. If you can’t turn the wheel as well as you once did, you can have a problem redirecting the vehicle. At Ethan’s Honest Automotive we examine the following suspension parts for wear and tear and damage. 

  • Shocks and strut 
  • Power steering 
  • Suspension fluid
  • Tires
  • Bushing or mount

Transmission service

You will struggle to get your vehicle to work without a transmission. By having the basic maintenance performed on your car’s transmission, you are much more likely never to have your gears seize upon you. 

One of the most crucial pieces of transmission maintenance is to change the fluid. Transmissions have fluid just like the brakes. You need to regularly replace old transmission fluid with new. When our technicians replace your transmission oil, they will also:

  • Change or replace the screen or filter
  • Clean the pan
  • Install a new pan gasket

Tune-Ups

Tune-ups help to improve the efficiency of your vehicle. You don’t have to be a car aficionado or racer to appreciate a good tune-up. Every shop does its own tune-up. When you choose Ethan’s Honest Automotive, we will:

  • Inspect your engine
  • Replace the spark plug
  • Replace the air filter
  • Replace the fuel filter
