An Overview of Available Services
Minit-Tune & Brake employs only trained technicians and apprentices with the experience to get the job done right the first time. Our services include:
- Oil Change Maintenance: BC drivers are all too familiar with the extreme weather conditions that vary across Canada. This can create a need for more frequent oil changes and filter replacements. It’s recommended that you change your oil every 5000-8000 km.
- Brakes: With the hillside roads of Vancouver and the icy conditions of northern BC, brakes always need to be in top condition. As a rule of thumb, brakes should be inspected at each oil change to prevent problems before they start.
- Maintenance Tune-Ups: Every vehicle runs better and lasts longer when properly maintained.
- Exhaust Systems: Staying compliant with Vancouver emission requirements is important for both the environment and the health of a vehicle’s occupants. Carbon monoxide is dangerous and it’s important to keep the exhaust system well-maintained.
- New Vehicle Service: Minit-Tune technicians are qualified to perform factory scheduled maintenance at any of our 18 convenient locations.
- Steering and Suspension: When your vehicle starts to pull to one side or stops responding immediately to your turns, it’s time to have the steering and suspension inspected.
- Cooling System: No one wants to be stranded by the side of the road with an overheating vehicle. Visit a technician as soon as you notice any problems and stop a small leak from turning into a huge inconvenience.
- Automatic Transmission Fluid: Changing transmission fluid can be done during any of your vehicle’s regular maintenance visits.
- Heating and Air Conditioning: Summer’s here and BC temperatures have rivaled those of California. Make sure that your heating and air conditioning are up to par.
- Engine and Transmission Repairs: Minit-Tune can service even the newest engine models.
- Batteries and Charging Systems: Signs of a worn-out battery can include dim lights, sputtering, or nothing at all. Batteries should be replaced at least every five years to avoid sudden and inconvenient failures.
- Pre-Purchase Inspections: Minit-Tune technicians can make you feel confident in your choice of vehicle. Talk to us before you commit to any sale.
- Wheel Alignment: Stop at any of our Vancouver or surrounding locations to prolong the life of your tires and to keep you safely on the road.
- Tires and Tire Repairs: The right tires can increase gas mileage and keep you safe during harsh northern winters. Inspect and replace them often.
- Electrical Systems: Newer vehicles rely heavily on complex electrical systems. The highly trained professionals at Minit-Tune stay up-to-date and can repair even the newest electrical systems.
