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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
