Deciphering the Menu Board: A to Z

You may not be familiar with all of the items on your Chula Vista auto service center's menu board so here is a quick description of some of the typical services that might be listed. Remember, the board is there for reference; speak to your friendly and knowledgeable Bonita Point Auto Care, Inc. service advisor about other possible needs or services.


Bonita Point Auto Care, Inc. fuel system cleaning: Over time, the fuel system gets gum and varnish built up. A fuel system cleaning gets rid of that and cleans out the fuel injectors. Saves gas, by the way.


Headlamp replacement: Halogen and standard headlamps gradually fade. When one burns out, replace both so they'll have the same brightness. Also, if your headlamp lenses are yellowed or cloudy, you can have them professionally restored to like new-condition.


Inspections: Chula Vista residents get inspections for many reasons. Maybe they're going on a trip or just want to make sure their vehicle's ready for summer or winter. Maybe they just bought a used car and want to give it the once over. An inspection may reveal some things that are broken or are getting close to having a problem.


Bonita Point Auto Care, Inc. oil change – there are several options: Some Chula Vista auto centers offer just an oil change and new filter as an option. Most will also check and top off all of your other fluids and do a quick visual inspection with a full service oil change. There may also be options for higher mileage fluids or an upgrade to synthetic oil.


PCV valve: PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve. It's a little part that releases pressure from the vehicle engine. It can get gummed up and that can lead to engine damage. Just needs to be changed now and then.


Bonita Point Auto Care, Inc. power steering service: Often overlooked. Your friendly and knowledgeable Bonita Point Auto Care, Inc. will evacuate the old fluid, clean out the system and replace it with clean fluid. Keeps the system running well for a long time.


Serpentine belt: That's the belt that powers the vehicle engine's accessories like the alternator, air conditioner, power steering and brakes. We'll want to replace the serpentine belt before it breaks or wears down too much, because that'll lead to other service issues.


Shocks and struts: This starts with an inspection of the suspension components. Shocks last a long time and wear out slowly, so many Chula Vista residents don't notice when it's time to change them. If they're worn or leaking, they need to be replaced.


Bonita Point Auto Care, Inc. transmission service: This involves removing the transmission fluid and replacing it with clean fluid. It's like an oil change for your transmission.


Tire rotation and wheel balancing: The tires are rotated from front to back using the recommended rotation pattern. This helps tires wear more evenly. Wheels need to be balanced from time to time to keep them turning without any wobble or bounce. Helps the ride and saves tire wear.
