“Vehicle Wheel Bearing Noise”

All Phase sees many different wheel bearing failures. Some have growling/roaring noises when driving, can increase or decrease when turning or with speed. Brake pedal pulsations can occur with bent hubs also causing early low speed ABS activation with slow driving or coming to stops. Lastly vehicles that have been in accidents can experience wheel bearing failures even weeks after body work has been completed especially when wheels have made contact with something.  Allphase Auto Repair Diagnoses all Vehicle issues and Noises. https://allphaseautorepair.napavision.com/topic/wheel-bearings/

Why is my car Shaking?

Have you ever been driving your car and it shook so much you felt like you were riding through a jungle? Well, here are three common problems that can cause a car to shake.

  1. The most common reason for a car to shake is related to tires.  If the tires are out of balance then the steering wheel can shake. This shaking starts at around 50-55 miles per hour (mph).  It gets worse around 60 mph but starts to get better at high speeds.
  2. Sometimes brake rotors can be the cause of shaking.  If your steering wheel shakes while you are braking then the problem could be caused by “out of round” brake rotors.  This vibration can also be felt through your brake pedal.
  3. Another common problem that can cause shaking is when a brake caliper sticks on.  When this happens you will experience a vibration through the steering wheel starting at 45 to 50 miles per hour.  It will get very bad the faster you go, and you will also smell a burning odor when you stop.

The good news is that these problems are easily avoided or corrected.

The tire problem can be avoided by purchasing good quality tires and by having all of the tires carefully inspected when your car goes in for preventative maintenance service.

The brake problem can be avoided by including brake caliper service when your brakes are due for maintenance.  This is particularly important for vehicles that have over 75,000 miles on them.  And, like your tires, have all of your brake pads inspected as part of a regularly scheduled preventive maintenance program.

In fact, by sticking to your manufacturer’s scheduled maintenance program, you can avoid or predict these problems.  Normally, the brake and tire inspections are performed when you have an oil change.  In the case of customers who put very little mileage on their cars, this will be performed at the six month vehicle check-up.

Tires wearing in a strange way or having a wheel that’s out of round can both be signs of what’s causing a vibration issue.  You may need a alignment check .  If one of the front or rear brake pads (out of four) is seen wearing more than the other, this is a sign that the brake caliper is sticking.

There are many other things that can cause your car to shake. We suggest bringing your vehicle to All Phase Auto Repair to have it properly diagnosed.

“Oil Change Near Me”

A new age has arrived when it comes to “Oil Changes” and your vehicle. Manufactures have increased the amount of parts and systems inside your vehicles engine that are critically dependent to your vehicles oil changes and lack there of. Massive changes have taken place in the name of Uncle Sam to reduce emissions and increase fuel economy. We are seeing an alarming amount of vehicles all makes and models with dirty engine oil that can set engine lamps on and have cause for towing your vehicle. Some vehicles have been towed in with locked up engines some covered under warranty and some not. Manufactures will change their policies, specs, and pricing when it comes to problems they have to deal with such as oil consumption, leaks, and other internal engine issues and more. If your vehicle is under warranty and they have to correct it your in luck, for the rest of us the best advice is change all your vehicle fluids before your factory recommended service intervals and make absolutely sure you have your receipts when having to deal with aftermarket and dealer warranty issues. We can help,Good Luck!

Auto Repair Financing

This day and age car repair can be quit pricey depending on what you need.  We at All Phase Auto Repair have been offering three finance options to help spread out those larger bills.  We have 6 month no interest, 12 month no interest and a 90 day payment option.  The 6 and 12 month no interest does have a credit application but we do see a lot of approvals.  The 90 day payment option does require a checking account along with a history of writing paper checks.  There is a approval process.   This option doesn’t check your credit but does have a finance charge.  The good thing about the first two options is ounce approved you have the card for any future purchases also.  Paying that bill in 6 or 12 payments is a lot easier than one lump sum and there’s no interest.  So next time you might need a set of tires, engine replacement, transmission replacement, or anything car repair related.  Come ask Terri how you can apply for our finance options.All Phase Auto Repair - Auto Pass Financingapply today

Maryland State Inspections-What you should know before you go!

Maryland State Inspections is what everyone needs when a vehicle is purchased in Maryland.  The purpose for the inspection is to make sure the vehicle is SAFE to drive on the road amongst other vehicles.  Customers always frown upon getting a inspection done but it’s really a good thing to have.  You will know everything you need for your vehicle to be safe to drive on the roads.  When purchasing a vehicle, I would always have a inspection done before making a payment to the other party.  If your driving your little babies around town.  Wouldn’t you want to know if those tires are about to explode?

The actual inspection takes about a hour and half to complete.  The prices vary from station to station.  We are allowed to charge up 1.5 hr of our current labor rate.  Most shops are cheaper than that calculation.  We at All Phase Auto Repair charge $95 for most vehicles.  Some vehicle are more if they are a full sized SUV or truck.  We also charge additional $20 if the tint needs to inspected on the vehicle.  This tends to be a hot topic.  Tint cannot be no darker than 35% on any window for a passenger car.  This applies only to Front door windows on Trucks and SUV’s.  Police officers want to see your face when walking up to the car window.  This is the main reason for this law.  In Maryland, inspection is a one time deal unlike many other states.  Ounce you get a passing grade.  You never have to get the inspection done again as long as you keep the car.  This is why we check a lot more items than most states.  If your vehicle fails inspection: sorry you still have to pay, no we wont issue a sticker when repairs are incomplete, no we don’t sell inspection stickers, but you do have 30 days or 1000 miles to complete the repairs and come back for a reinspect.  The same inspector will have reinspect your vehicle.  Most inspections are done electronically now.  Stickers aren’t actually issued like the old days.  A email is sent to the MVA when the vehicle gets a passing grade.

In conclusion, I think people should use Maryland State Inspections as a tool when buying a vehicle and as knowledge when wanting to know what’s wrong with the vehicle.  Trying to find a shop to sell illegal inspections stickers is just foolish and unsafe for you and your family in the end.  Call All Phase  in Essex, MD and set up a appointment to get that inspection done the right way!
