About Your Vehicle

Belts & Hoses

A series of belts and pulleys drive engine accessories such as the alternator, water pump, fan, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor and air injection pump. Hoses and steel lines transfer coolant, brake fluid and fuel throughout the vehicle. Over time, these parts may crack, rust or leak. So, protect yourself by following the factory maintenance schedule.

At WILDCARDS, we follow the manufacturers’ service guidelines for all maintenance services, including belt and hose replacement. Our shops have access to factory maintenance schedules for most makes and models on the road. So, when you visit us, we retrieve your car’s schedule and print it out for your review.

Timing belts
These are toothed, reinforced belts used to drive the camshaft via a sprocket to a crankshaft. They ensure the synchronization of the engine's camshaft, crankshaft and distributor.

Signs of trouble: Engine backfires or stops

Serpentine belts
These belts transfer power from the crankshaft to all of the engine accessories. When this single belt breaks, it can cause damage to the engine through overheating, loss of the charging system or loss of power steering.

Signs of wear: Cracking, splitting, slipping and squealing

Coolant hoses
These are hoses that transfer antifreeze throughout the engine cooling system, including the radiator and the heater core.

Signs of wear: Cracking, splitting and brittle or soft spots

Engine Cooling System

Is your engine overheating?

There's a lot of metal under the hood of your vehicle, most of it surrounding your engine's internal components. And that metal radiates a lot of heat during driving.

Count on WILDCARDS to make sure the car's cooling system disperses that heat safely and efficiently...so you can keep your cool.

To keep the cooling system at peak efficiency, WILDCARDS recommends having coolant replacement performed, as defined by the vehicle maintenance schedule recommended by your car's manufacturer. Regular maintenance of your vehicle's cooling system can help avoid costly repair services.

Stop by WILDCARDS with any questions you have, or to determine when your vehicle will need this critical service.

Preventive Maintenance & Oil Change

Motor oil lubricates the moving parts of the engine, reducing friction and wear. It also helps to cool the engine, while cleaning dirt and sludge. But remember, engine oil breaks down with time and should be replaced regularly for optimal effectiveness. Rest assured, at Midas we adhere to manufacturer's and Motorist Assurance Program (MAP) guidelines, ensuring the right services for your vehicle at the right time.

WILDCARDS mechanics can select the right oil for your vehicle, inspect your car's air filter and check the levels of vital fluids for brakes, power steering, automatic transmission and coolant/antifreeze.

And that’s important. Because taking care of your car’s oil, filter and fluid needs is one of the simplest, most effective and inexpensive ways to help keep it running smooth and strong.

Steering, Suspension, & Alignment

It's much more important than just smoothing out a bumpy ride.

To maintain precise control of your vehicle, you need to be able to steer properly, which in turn requires a fully functioning suspension system and proper wheel alignment, two areas of auto service and vehicle maintenance expertise for WILDCARDS.

Whether your vehicle has a conventional suspension system with shock absorbers or a strut-based system (which is typical for many of today's front-wheel drive models), your local WILDCARDS shop has the know-how to diagnose and repair the problem. Our expert mechanics can also uncover alignment trouble and help you get back on track.

Think you have steering or suspension problems? Telltale signs include uneven or excessive tire wear, poor steering control, and excessive bouncing. If you notice any of these symptoms, or if you have questions about steering or alignment, simply stop by your local shop today. You can count on our skilled auto service mechanics to help smooth out your ride.
