Scheduled Maintenance

When it’s time for service, Mike’s Car Care can perform everything that your owner’s manual requires. Examples include:
  • ​Oil and filter service, regular or synthetic oil
  • Transmission, power steering, radiator and brake fluids
  • Air conditioning service​​
    ​
​Service is performed by ASE Certified technicians.​
It's not just an oil change: your vehicle’s engine computer is updated so that maintenance light goes out and the service interval is reset for the next factory-specified interval.

Computerized Wheel Alignment

Mike’s garage uses a Hunter HawkEye alignment system, the very latest in high tech 5-wheel alignment, including the steering wheel. Factory settings are downloaded using the HunterNet professional internet database connection built into the HawkEye system by scanning the vehicle’s VIN code.

Emissions Repair

​Many service stations will provide Massachusetts State Inspection and provide your annual sticker, but only a few are authorized to repair your car's emission systems in the event that it fails the emissions tests.

Mike’s Car Care is a licensed MA State Emissions Repair Facility.

​Tire Mount & Balance

Picture
Mike’s Car Care is equipped with a state of the art Hunter Road Force Touch dynamic wheel balancing station used in conjunction with Hunter’s StraightTrak® Lateral Force Measurement to ensure your tires are:
  • Statically balanced for the “up and down” balance forces
  • Dynamically balanced for the “side to side” balance forces
  • Roundness-matched to your car’s rims
  • Tested under driving load conditions to discover all vibration modes
    ​
See Hunter’s introductory video to see the additional diagnostics and balancing procedures in action.

​
These steps are the best way to find and minimize any vibrations due to either imperfections or wear in  tire or rim. Using this approach gives the best possible ride comfort on your tires and rims, especially when traveling at Interstate highway speeds for long distances. ​Note that long-life tires may need to be rebalanced during their lifetime to restore a smooth ride.  This is because the wheel balance can change as a tire’s tread gradually wears away. A quick check when rotating the tires can determine if rebalancing is necessary – just ask!
