  • How often should I get an oil change?

    The frequency of oil changes typically ranges from 3,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your vehicle's oil type and manufacturer recommendations. At Lift n Wrench, we can help determine the ideal schedule for your specific vehicle to ensure optimal performance.

  • What are the signs that my brakes need repair?

    Key indicators of brake issues include squealing noises, steering wheel vibrations, increased stopping distances, or a soft brake pedal. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's crucial to have your brakes inspected promptly to maintain your vehicle's safety.

  • How can I tell if my suspension needs repair?

    Suspension problems may be indicated by a bumpy or unstable ride, knocking sounds over bumps, or if your vehicle pulls to one side while driving or braking. Worn shocks or struts can significantly impact your vehicle's handling and safety, so it's important to address these issues promptly.

  • What's the lifespan of a car battery?

    On average, car batteries last between three to five years. If you're experiencing difficulties starting your vehicle or notice dimmer headlights, it may be time to have your battery checked or replaced by a professional.

  • How do I know if my transmission needs service?

    Transmission service is typically recommended every 30,000 to 80,000 miles, depending on your driving habits. If you notice harder shifting or slipping, it's advisable to have your transmission inspected by a professional as soon as possible to prevent potential damage.

  • What is the difference between synthetic and conventional oil?

    Synthetic oil is engineered for enhanced performance and contains more engine-protecting additives, offering longer-lasting protection and extended intervals between oil changes. Conventional oil is a natural, petroleum-based product. Our experts at Lift n Wrench can recommend the most suitable option for your vehicle's specific requirements.

  • Do I need to replace my rotors when replacing my brake pads?

    In many instances, replacing rotors along with brake pads is recommended. If your rotors are worn or damaged, replacing them simultaneously ensures optimal braking performance and reduces potential damage to the new brake pads.
