Repairs and Maintenance for the Way You Drive
South Street Auto provides comprehensive service to keep your vehicle driving safely and smoothly. Throughout the decades we've served the West Hartford area, we've seen and fixed countless issues on all kinds of vehicles, foreign and domestic.
Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is the best way to avoid expensive repairs and keep your car running smoothly. We handle oil changes, fluid checks, filter replacements, inspections, and scheduled maintenance based on your vehicle's mileage and manufacturer recommendations, helping catch small issues before they turn into major problems.
Brakes
Squeaks, grinding, vibration, pulling, a soft brake pedal, or longer stopping distance can all point to brake wear or a brake system issue. We inspect pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, and fluid condition, then recommend the right repair to restore safe braking performance.
AC
Weak airflow, warm air, unusual smells, noisy operation, or cooling that cuts in and out can point to an AC system problem. We check system performance, refrigerant levels, leaks, compressor operation, belts, and related components so we can find the cause and restore comfort.
Check Engine Light
A check engine light can point to anything from a loose gas cap to a more serious drivability issue. We scan the vehicle, interpret the codes, and perform follow-up testing to identify the issue whether the concern is emissions, misfires, sensors, fuel trim, or performance.
Electrical Diagnostics + Repair
Battery drain, dim lights, warning messages, no-start conditions, intermittent accessories, or charging problems can point to an electrical fault. We test wiring, switches, sensors, batteries, alternators, starters, and module-related systems to pinpoint the source and make a reliable repair.
Shocks and Struts
Bouncing, clunking, nose-diving while braking, uneven tire wear, loose steering, or a rough ride over bumps can point to worn shocks or struts. We inspect the suspension, and diagnose and fix any issues needed to bring back a controlled, smooth ride.
Timing Belts
Hard starts, ticking noises, engine misfires, oil near the timing cover, or mileage near the recommended interval can all point to timing belt issues, which can be critical if left unchecked. We inspect the condition of the timing belt, view service intervals, and replace the belt and related components when needed so your engine stays running properly.
4x4 Service
Binding while turning, driveline vibration, grinding noises, fluid leaks, or trouble engaging four-wheel drive can point to a 4x4 or AWD system issue. We service transfer cases, differentials, fluids, seals, and related driveline components so the system works when you need traction most.
Fleet Service Available
