I chose to go to Ethan because of all the positive reviews online. I’m so glad I did because he explained my car’s needs so well before he started working on it. Ethan and his staff are good, clean-cut guys who are pleasant, courteous, skilled, and honest. I completely trust all my auto maintenance and repairs to Ethan and his great staff.

Most requested services in Cove

Auto Repair

Auto repair is a term that encompasses a lot. Some of the common auto repair jobs include:

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

These are not the only auto repair tasks that may be required. If you are having any trouble at all with your vehicle, you need to bring it to Ethan’s Honest Automotive asap. Our professionals can diagnose and fix the problem. 

Oil Changes

Oil changes are probably the most frequent bit of vehicle maintenance. Oil changes are an important part of keeping your engine healthy. If  you let the oil get old, the filter may not work as well anymore. The filter will stop catching all the dirt and debris. The resulting dirty oil gets into your engine and causes problems. Regularly changing the oil helps prevent these problems. 

Brake Service

Brakes are important. That is a very simple sentence, but it is true. You need to keep your brakes working well. This vehicle system can literally save your life. The professionals at Ethan’s Honest Automotive provide complete brake servicing. That means checking the following for issues:

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

A/C Service 

Brakes are important because they can save your life, but the A/C is crucial because you will be miserable otherwise. It is easy to let A/C problems get out of control. You will likely not use your A/C for half the year. When you go to turn it on in the summer, it may suddenly blow warm air. That is your cue to call Ethan’s Honest Automotive. 

Suspension service

A broken suspension is both uncomfortable and dangerous. Without a suspension it will be much harder to control your vehicle. Power steering is part of the suspension system. The suspension also governs the bumpiness of your drive. If you are bouncing all over the place, you may have a suspension problem. When you bring your vehicle to Ethan’s Honest Automotive for suspension service, you can expect us to examine the following:

  • Shocks and strut 
  • Power steering 
  • Suspension fluid
  • Tire wear
  • Bushing or mount

Transmission service

The transmission enables your vehicle to change gears. Without the gears lubricated correctly, they will not turn smoothly. This causes grinding or sticking gears. You don’t want either of those things. Keep your transmission in good working order by having our experts replace the transmission oil and:

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

Tune-Ups

Many drivers schedule a yearly tune-up. These visits allow our specialists to fine tune your vehicle. We can help you remove an uncomfortable vibration or get slightly better gas mileage. In addition, tune-ups are a great place for us to find deeper issues with your vehicle. You can expect us to perform these services during your tune-up:

  • Engine inspection
  • Spark plug replacement
  • Air filter replacement
  • Fuel filter replacement
