Car Dashboard with 0 RPMs and the oil light on

Fleet cars, vans, and trucks see a lot of wear and tear. If your engine has already called it a day, then it’s obviously case closed - you need a new engine or a new vehicle. However, there are many times when an engine is about to go down, and you can get it taken care of before it kicks the bucket for good - saving you time and towing in the process.

Transmission

Automatic transmissions aren’t easily understood outside of specialists like those at Wayne & Sons Automotive Repair in Santa Rosa, CA. While it would be impossible to teach you enough to make you a transmission expert in a series of articles, what we can do is give you the fundamental knowledge you need to have a good idea of what your transmission is doing, and how it works.

alternator in a vehicle

Your alternator is a central component on any engine. The alternator is responsible for powering anything electronic on your vehicle, including the coils that fire your spark plugs (unless it’s a diesel). At Wayne & Sons Automotive Repair in Santa Rosa, CA, we know a bad alternator when we see one - here’s how you can spot one too.

Smoke coming out of muffler

Diesel engines are known for their durability, but even the best engine has to be replaced every once in a while. At Wayne & Sons Automotive Repair in Santa Rosa, CA, we want you to be aware of signs that your engine is about to call it quits.

Torque converter

If you drive a lightweight car, truck, or SUV, the torque converter you have installed is probably just fine. For those of you with more heavy duty applications, like high horsepower setups or towing rigs, the stock converter may not be enough. At Wayne & Sons Automotive Repair in Santa Rosa, CA, we can help with that.

Excellent service, reasonable prices. - June R. (5 star review on Google)

Tread of Tire

What condition are your tires in? At Wayne & Sons Automotive Repair in Santa Rosa, CA, we want to make sure you can tell. A simple visual inspection is all you need - it’s easy if you know what to look for.

Amazing customer service!! I took my wife's 2016 lexus 200t in for warranty work because they were one of the approved shops on the list I had. The rental car company dropped the ball so the owners wife personally drove my wife to work in Rincoln Valley and picked her back up because they got the job done in the same day!! All of this at NO CHARGE to us!! I am an auto tech myself and checked their work and they did a GREAT job!! Only reason I didn't do it myself because it was under warranty. VERY impressed and would highly recommend this shop!! - Kevin W. (5 star review on Google)
