Do It Now – Get Your Preventative Maintenance on the Schedule!
You already know routine maintenance is important – it’s like a routine check-up, keeping everything running smoothly and helping avoid major issues down the road – but you’ve been putting off scheduling yours for whatever reason. Stop putting it off – do it now. You’ll be glad you did, and over the long run, your car will thank you for it.
Factory Scheduled Maintenance
Scheduled maintenance can include everything from oil changes to spark plug replacements. Your car has its own maintenance schedule, and you can typically find this in your vehicle’s manual. Whether your vehicle is due for 5,000, 15,000, 50,000, 80,000, or beyond, Uncle Al’s is here for you.
Auto AC Service
The mechanics at Uncle Al’s can expertly repair your faulty AC system. Typical repairs on auto AC are replacements of seals, hoses, condensers, valves, evaporators, compressors, and blower motors. If you feel your auto AC may need to be serviced, recharged, or repaired, give us a call to speak to a technician!
Fuel System Service
When you start or drive your car, do you smell gasoline? Bring your car in for a complimentary, no-obligation fuel system and injector inspection! If your car is several years old, or if you have high mileage, a fuel line inspection is a great idea too. Come into Uncle Al’s, and we’ll take care of you!
Auto Tune Up
Regular tune ups can save you money in the long run. Tune ups can improve fuel economy, engine performance, and the longevity of your vehicle. Tune ups are only as good as the mechanic performing them, so come down to Uncle Al’s! Our mechanics provide the best care possible.
Auto Filter Replacement
Both air and fuel filters need to be replaced at regular intervals, to prevent damage to your engine. Replacing filters regularly can also improve the performance of your vehicle! Contact Uncle Al’s today for your filter replacement.

ASE-Certified Auto Parts Replacements
If you’re not sure if your part needs to be replaced or not, bring it on down to us to take a look. We’ll give you an honest assessment, and if a replacement is necessary, a no-obligation estimate.
Water Pump Replacement
Your vehicle’s water pump keeps your engine at the appropriate temperature, preventing it from overheating by dispersing coolant or antifreeze through the engine.
Car Battery Replacement
If your car won’t start, has trouble starting in the cold, or if there’s visible corrosion on your battery, it probably needs to be replaced. Don’t wait until you’re stranded in a parking lot.
Starter Replacement
Internal corrosion, rust, broken gears, and melted terminals can all contribute to a bad starter. Because so many factors can be involved, it’s best to bring your car to Uncle Al’s–we specialize in starter replacements!
Belt and Hose Replacement
Multiple hoses run through the engine, and a damaged hose can cause a lot of issues. If you have a hose issue, you may notice leaks or see steam coming from under the hood.
Fan Belt Replacement
Fan and serpentine belts are responsible for assisting the water pump, power steering, alternator, and air conditioning units. You may have a broken belt if your engine is overheating, if check engine lights come on, or if you see steam.
Timing Belt Replacement
Timing belts are responsible for the seamless integration of all of your engine’s parts. We install timing belts and chains on all makes and models, including foreign and domestic.
Engine Replacement
If you see warning lights, feel the vehicle jerking, hear loud noises, or even see smoke coming from the hood of the car, you may need an engine replacement.
Head Gasket Replacement
Head gaskets need to be intact for your engine to run properly. If you’re seeing smoke from your tailpipe or if your car is overheating, bring your car into Uncle Al’s.
Clutch Replacement
Clutches are critical components of vehicles with manual transmissions. If you think you might need a new clutch, come into Uncle Al’s for a complimentary clutch inspection!
CV Joint & CV Boot Replacement
You may notice vibrating or strange noises when you accelerate. While there can be several issues that cause the same signs, it may be the CV joint. Come on in for an inspection!
Shocks and Struts Replacement
Shocks and struts will typically need to be replaced between 50,000 and 80,000 miles. Having regular inspections for your struts will help your car last longer and handle better. If your car’s handling feels strange, come into Uncle Al’s!

Uncle Al’s Auto Maintenance FAQs
Absolutely! We stand behind our work 100% and provide written guarantees of 2-Years or 24,000 Miles.
If you hate the sound of squeaky brakes, getting your pads replaced ahead of schedule can help you avoid it. We recommend having your brakes inspected at least once a year, or every 12,000 miles (whichever comes first). If you notice any squealing or grinding, that means it’s time for a replacement.
