Your vehicle's check engine light is designed to keep you informed of the condition of your engine and warn of any issues that should be looked into. It monitors many aspects of the vehicle: emissions controls, transmission shifting, engine and fuel management, and even more in the cases of luxury or hybrid vehicles.
Every vehicle has vital parts that wear down over an extended period of time and need replacement. We recommend a Tune Up based upon the manufacturer's factory recommended intervals. At Southside Tire & Auto our expert technicians test, inspect and replace engine components based on their age, driving conditions or wear.
Our highly-skilled auto repair technicians at Southside Tire & Auto are trained in performing major engine repairs and engine rebuilding of all makes and models of cars, light trucks, SUVs, crossovers, vans and RVs. Our engine rebuilding includes pistons, bearings, timing components, oil pump and gaskets.
Steering stability and handling are heavily reliant on the performance of your suspension components. Worn suspension components will reduce the stability of your vehicle and the driver's control. Because suspension system components combine into one working unit, suspension issues that go untreated often increase the wear on other suspension components, resulting in more expensive repairs.
There are several signs to look for when determining whether to schedule an inspection and repair of your vehicle's front axle, rear axle, CV joints, and driveshaft components. Clunking or clicking noises are signs that a CV joint needs replacement. Vibrations during acceleration may indicate a damaged driveshaft, though they may also point to an axle issue depending on the layout of your vehicle.

I was on vacation fishing in Cohasset, pulled my boat up and my transition went out in the middle of the week. I only had 2 days to get it fixed before I went home, called several places and the earliest I could get in was the following week until I called Jerry and his crew, I explained my issue with Jerry and he said he would squeeze me in . They got my transmission replaced the day before I had to go home. Thank you to Jerry and his crew.

Absolutely great services and extremely amazing customer service words can't express how much we appreciate the services they provided to us. We ended up having our breaks go out while coming through town on our way home to the cities and needed to get fixed ASAP these guys set up towing service to the shop and got us in early even as well as having a full schedule. I would definitely recommend this place

Always great. Have brought my car there several times. They did my diagnosis for no charge. Jerry even did my vacuum hose and then told me my MAF sensor was bad and that he replaced it for nothing. GREAT shop and great work. Nicest shop i have ever been in also. Bringing there to get power steering fixed in 2 weeks again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Jerry and the rest of the crew at Southside are just great! Service is excellent and prompt. They really go above and beyond to make sure the vehicle you're driving is safe and running as it should. And to top it all off, they have fair and competitive prices. I've always felt treated with honesty and integrity. It's nice to have a place you feel you can trust to keep your vehicle on the road and running right.
