Oil change
The process of draining the old oil from a car's engine and replacing it with new, clean oil.
Brake Pads
The braking system component that applies pressure to the rotor to decelerate or stop a vehicle
Brake Discs
also known as a rotor, is a rotating metal disc attached to a vehicle's wheel hub. It is a critical component of the disc brake system, the most common brake system used in modern vehicles.
wiper blades
Wiper blades are essential components of a car's windshield wiper system, responsible for removing rain, snow, and other debris from the windshield, ensuring clear visibility for the driver.
Transmission Fluid
The fluid that lubricates the gears in a car's transmission and helps it shift smoothly.
Tire Rotation
Rotating car tires to ensure even wear and prolong lifespan.
Wheel Alignment
Adjusting a car's suspension ensures correct wheel alignment, preventing uneven wear and improving balance.
Wheel balancing
crucial aspect of vehicle maintenance that ensures the even distribution of weight around the wheels and tires. This process involves attaching small weights to specific points on the wheel rim to counteract any imbalances, resulting in a smoother and safer driving experience.
Car Battery
The component of a car's electrical system that stores and supplies power to start the engine and operate the vehicle's electronics.
Spark Plug
The spark plug is the part of a car's engine that ignites the fuel mixture to start the combustion process.
Car Ignition Coil
An essential component of the ignition system that transforms the low-voltage battery power into the high-voltage spark needed to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders.
Fuel Injectors
Vital components in both gasoline and diesel engines, responsible for precisely delivering atomized fuel into the engine's cylinders at the correct time and in the right amount.
Fuel Pump
An essential component of an internal combustion engine. It is responsible for transferring fuel from the fuel tank to the engine's fuel system. The fuel pump is typically located in the fuel tank or near the engine.
Fuel Filter
Removes contaminants from fuel before it enters the engine. It's usually located in the fuel line between the fuel tank and the fuel pump, and can be made of paper, cellulose, or synthetics..
Air filters
Essential for combustion engines. They prevent harmful contaminants from entering and damaging the engine.
Clutch Assembly
A mechanical device that facilitates the connection and disconnection between the engine and transmission in a vehicle. It comprises various components, such as the clutch housing, pressure plate, clutch disc, release bearing, and throwout bearing.
Torque Converter
A fluid coupling device transfers rotating power from a prime mover, such as an internal combustion engine, to a driven load. It is commonly found in automatic transmissions to connect the engine to the transmission.
Coolant
also known as antifreeze, is a fluid used in the cooling system of an internal combustion engine to prevent overheating. It is a mixture of water and ethylene glycol, or propylene glycol, and is designed to lower the freezing point of water and raise its boiling point. This helps to protect the engine from damage in both cold and hot weather.
Serpentine Belt
The long, winding belt that powers many of the car's systems, including the alternator, power steering, and air conditioning.
Suspension
The suspension system comprises springs, shocks, and other components that work together to absorb bumps and vibrations in the road. This results in a smoother ride and better handling.
Timing Belt/Chain
The belt/chain connects the engine's crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring the valves open and close correctly.
CatalyticConverter
The part of the exhaust system that reduces harmful emissions by converting them into less toxic gases.
DPF
DPF stands for Diesel Particulate Filter. It is a device that is used to capture and remove soot particles from the exhaust gases of diesel engines. Soot particles are a type of air pollution that can cause respiratory problems, heart disease, and cancer.
Ignition System
The electrical system that starts the engine and keeps it running, including the battery, starter, and spark plugs.
OBD-II
The onboard diagnostics system monitors a car's performance and emissions, alerting the driver to any issues.
Powertrain
The power transmission system, including the transmission, driveshaft, and differential, transfers power from the engine to the wheels.
ABS
ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. It is a safety feature that helps prevent wheels from locking up and skidding when you brake hard. This can help you maintain control of your vehicle and avoid accidents.
Engine Block
The main body of the engine that contains the cylinders, pistons, and crankshaft.
PCV Valve
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve regulates the flow of gases between the engine crankcase and intake manifold, reducing emissions and increasing efficiency.
