A/C & Heating Systems
Hot air blowing out of the A/C? Lack of pressure when the air blows out? Failure to blow air at all? Don't sweat it. When you bring your car into Benton Auto Repair, our professional technicians diagnose and replace many components in your air conditioning systems including the A/C compressor, condenser, blower motor, relays, cooling fans and more.
belts & hoses
A belt or hose failure can cause an overheated engine, loss of power steering, and loss of the electrical charging system. Fear not: If there's a squeal emanating from underneath your hood, notice cracks/fraying on the top cover, or suspect a leak in your hose, we can check these components to spot the problem before they become costly.
Cooling systems
Your vehicle’s cooling system is responsible for reducing the temperature inside your engine and preventing possible overheating. To prevent excess heat from building in a variety of places in your vehicle’s engine and pre-mature cooling system corrosion, we can examine your radiator and perform an antifreeze flush, if needed.
engines
Maintaining your existing car is far more cost effective than purchasing a new or even a used vehicle. When you choose us for your engine repair you can rest assured that you won't be trading dependability for a great price tag. We have experience with all types of engines, and we're positive that we can help to outfit your car with a long lasting, reliable engine.
emission systems
Having trouble passing your state emission test or have the inspection coming up? We'll provide an accurate diagnosis and repair. The best part? We'll take the stress out of the situation by taking your vehicle to the testing station for you with confidence that it will pass. Take a look at the number of our successful emissions-related repairs on Illinois EPA report card.
STEERING AND SUSPENSION
The steering and suspension systems bear the weight of your vehicle, keep the tires on the road and help you experience a smooth, controlled ride. If you’re experiencing a rapid wiggle back and forth, pull to one side, or bounce over bumps as you drive, give us a visit. We’ll ensure your vehicle’s suspension system provides the stability you need for a safe drive.
TRANSMISSIONS
Transmissions play a critical role in your vehicle's ability to operate. they carry the engine’s power to the drive axle by using different gears, which allows the engine to rotate at various speeds. We can diagnose and repair your transmission whether the issue is something simple like filter/fluid change or a more complex job like the shift solenoids.
BATTERies, starting & charging
If you notice your headlights dimming or the car needs a jump-start, it might be time for a battery change. First, let us us take a look at it, as there are a number of automotive problems that may occur with symptoms that mimic those of a dead battery. With our proper tools and knowledge, we can easily diagnose the issue to ensure the right part is replaced.
brakes
Brakes pulling, pulsating, making noise? ABS light on? Is your pedal hard to press or low? Your brake problems stop here. Benton Auto Repair is your one-stop shop for brake maintenance, diagnosis, and repair. Let us assist you with your brake service needs in: ABS diagnosis and repair, disc or drum brakes installation , power booster replacement and more.
Driveability Diagnosis
Our ability to accurately troubleshoot is what differentiates us from "parts swappers" and why we're proud to call ourselves successful automotive technicians. We use sophisticated scan tools and take a strategic diagnostic approach, so that we can get to the root of your car's problem efficiently and effectively – saving you time and money.
EXHAUST SYSTEMS
Just like our lungs, your car also needs to exhale properly. It's vital for these gases to be removed from the system. If not, they can cause backpressure in the engine which can cause early wear. Let us help your auto exhale the right way by making sure that its exhaust system – exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, muffler, catalytic converter, tail pipe – is in top shape.
OIl changes
Despite its relatively low cost, oil plays a vital, multifaceted role in your engine, and spending a little money on routine oil changes can help prevent you from forking over large sums of cash down the road. Whether your vehicle needs conventional, high mileage, synthetic blend or full synthetic oil, we'll pick the perfect motor oil for your car and inspect key components.
Timing belt/chain
An engine has hundreds of moving parts, all of which must work together in perfect synchronization for the engine to perform properly. Disrupt the timing of the sequence slightly and your vehicle will run poorly. That's why replacing your timing belt is so important. We will replace your timing belt or chain to the specific configuration.
Tune Ups
Regular vehicle maintenance is one of the best ways to protect your investment. By performing a tune up, you will extend the life of your vehicle and prevent costly breakdowns in the future. Since service requirements for a tune-up vary from vehicle to vehicle, we’ll perform a procedure based on your vehicle's manufacturer-recommended schedule.
