Our team can keep your vehicle in top shape by performing regular preventative maintenance for you. Using the latest in state-of-the-art technology, we will install a safe and effective cleaner to suspend harmful varnish and sludge from the transmission valve body, torque converter and lines. The engine in your vehicle is what keeps your car running and working.

It is no surprise that if your engine isn't in great shape that your car won't be either and you'll need to visit your local auto repair shop. This system is designed to prevent your car from overheating. The system consists of a radiator, a water pump, the thermostat, hoses and antifreeze/coolant.

The air conditioning unit in your vehicle operates similarly to a refrigerator. Your vehicle's air conditioning unit is designed to move heat from the inside of your car to outside of it. The refrigerant carries heat. In modern cars, refrigerant is a substance called R-134a. Older cars' refrigerant is called r-12 freon, which is more expensive and difficult to find than R-134a.
Ever wonder how repair shops know what cost to advertise for a brake job if they don't know what the problem is? They don't. We believe you can only tell what a brake job will cost after a thorough inspection of the brake system. You really do get what you pay for.

When you press down on the brake pedal, brake fluid is sent from the masters cylinder, which is the little white box under the hood of your vehicle, through brake fluid hoses down to the brake calipers.With hydraulics, the brake fluid causes the caliper, which houses two brake pads, to squeeze against the spinning rotor in each wheel.
This system is designed to prevent your car from overheating. The system consists of a radiator, a water pump, the thermostat, hoses and antifreeze/coolant. A petroleum based solution used in most automobiles to keep the water in your coolant system from freezing in colder climates and boiling in hotter climates.
If you live in a larger city, you may be subject to emissions testing. If you fail your emissions test, you may need to get your exhaust system repaired or replaced. The team at Checkered Flag Automotive Inc can diagnose and repair your exhaust system and help you pass your emissions test. While your exhaust system helps reduce noise output from your vehicle, it also significantly reduces harmful emissions from being released into the air.

We were passing through New Braunfels TX on our way to California and needed general maintenance on our GMC 3500HD. Texas Country RV recommended Checkered Flag to look at our receptacle regarding power issues while towing our 5th wheel (eating RV battery power while towing). Arlin was booked up but fit us in near the end of our stay. We rented a car for a week (which we thought was overkill), and dropped off our truck Sunday night. Unfortunately, Arlin held on to our truck for an entire week, thus resulting in a week long car rental fee. This would be acceptable if my issues were resolved...however

We had taken my car to another place and were told the repairs would be around $4000. We took it to Checkered Flag for a second opinion. The diagnoses, from the first place were incorrect. The correct repairs were done by Checkered Flag and the total cost was $61.96, saving me a huge totally unnecessary repair and bill. Checkered Flag is busy, but any good shop will be. I would give them over 5 stars, if I could.
