car and truck maintenance

Our basic auto maintenance services include:

30/60/90K Mileage Maintenance
Most automakers recommend car maintenance at 30,000-mile intervals, adhering to the 30/60/90K mile schedule provided to car owners. Our team can keep you on track, preserving your vehicle's condition, optimizing its performance, and enhancing its resale value. The 30/60/90K service covers:

  • Inspection of parts and systems - gears, tires, brake pads, belts, hoses, etc.
  • With higher mileage: spark plugs, belts, timing belts when applicable

Belt Replacement
Fan belts (or drive belts) dry out and crack over time. If you hear squealing or see wear, visit The Shop @ 160 an Auto Care Center in Fort Mill for expert belt inspection and replacement using quality parts.

Check Engine Light Diagnostics
It could be a loose gas cap-or something serious like a failing catalytic converter. Visit us in Fort Mill for quick code reading and diagnostics. At The Shop @ 160 an Auto Care Center, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you.

Factory Scheduled Maintenance
Automakers provide a service schedule for each vehicle. Our Fort Mill technicians follow this closely for gas and diesel vehicles, domestic or import, to ensure long-term performance.

Headlight and Bulb Replacement
If your bulbs are dim or out, it's time for a replacement. Our Fort Mill team installs high-quality bulbs to restore visibility and safety.

Hose Replacement
Cracked, dry hoses can leak coolant and cause overheating and prevent optimum performance. We inspect and replace worn hoses to keep your cooling system in top shape.

FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles


Why is my car making a squealing noise?

It may be a slipping fan belt. Listen for warning signs such as squeaking or chirping noises. These sounds are often caused by misalignment between the belt and pulley. If you come by The Shop @ 160 an Auto Care Center in Fort Mill, our professional auto repair technicians can inspect and realign the belt to stop the noise and address the problem before the belt fails completely.

Why does my car make a noise when I turn the steering wheel?

If your car makes strange sounds or clicking noises when you turn the steering wheel, one possible cause is low power steering fluid. When the fluid level drops, air can enter the power steering system and cause unwanted noises.

Come to The Shop @ 160 an Auto Care Center to have the power steering system inspected and the fluid level checked. If the noise returns quickly after the fluid is topped off, your vehicle may have a power steering fluid leak. Our professionals in Fort Mill can diagnose the cause and recommend the appropriate repair.

Why does my car squeal when I start it in the morning?

A squealing noise when starting your vehicle can be caused by a worn or loose belt. Depending on the vehicle and the source of the noise, the issue may involve an accessory drive belt or another belt-driven component. Because some belt failures can lead to serious mechanical problems, unusual or persistent noises should be inspected promptly. Come to The Shop @ 160 an Auto Care Center and our technicians can determine the source of the noise and recommend the proper repair.



Leaking Fluid FAQs


Why is water leaking on my foot on the driver's side?

The most common cause is a blocked air conditioning drain hose. This is typically a straightforward repair at The Shop @ 160 an Auto Care Center. Other possible causes of water leaking onto the driver's side floor include a damaged door seal or a leaking heat exchanger. Our technicians can inspect the source of the leak and determine the appropriate repair.

What should I do if my car creates a small oil leak on my driveway?

If the spill is still wet, cover the stain with an absorbent material such as clay cat litter, sand, cornmeal, cornstarch, or baking soda. This can help absorb the oil before it soaks further into the concrete. Once the spill has dried, sweep up the absorbent material and clean the remaining stain with soap and water.

A small oil leak on your driveway is also an indication that something may be wrong with your vehicle. Bring your car to The Shop @ 160 an Auto Care Center so the source of the leak can be diagnosed. An oil leak should not be ignored because loss of engine oil can eventually lead to serious engine damage.

Why is my car leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?

If you notice a sweet-smelling fluid leaking from your vehicle, coolant or antifreeze may be the source. A coolant leak can become a serious problem if left unaddressed. If the coolant level becomes too low, the engine may overheat and potentially suffer engine damage. Have the vehicle inspected promptly to locate and repair the leak.
