Balancing
|
|
We use state of the art computer wheel balancing equipment
to handle your tire and wheel problems, the right way. We are also the only
shop in the area that performs on the car balancing.

Brakes
|
|
Brake repair is an important part of the service here at Liskey's. We have five dedicated bays. Most important
are the trained brake professionals that make our service exceptional. With the new Anti-lock Braking Systems, repairing
brakes involves more than just new brake shoes. We are now diagnosing complicated computer controls. Once again,
training and highly enfineered quality parts are so important in a "Quality" repair facility.

Fluid Exchange
|
|
Fluid exchanges are a vital part of any maintenance program. The fluids are the lifeblood of your vehicle.
They protect the engine from dirt and grime. They keep things cool so the engine doesn't get heat damage.
They keep things lubricated so everything stays in working condition.
|
|
|
|
General Maintenance is a broad term. However, General means just that. From batteries, to belts, to starting
systems, the list could go on. General Maintenance is anything within or on the vehicle that doesn't necessarily
fall into any particular category, but affects the operation of the vehicle. These items need attention too, because
without them the car wouldn't start, go, or just plain run properly.

|
Oil Changes
|
|
Just like the fluid exchange, the Oil Change is a very important part of your vehicles maintenance. Just imagine
what would happen if metal began rubbing on metal. Parts began to generate excessive heat due to extreme friction and
that heat damaged the fine tuned, precisely honed components that make up our cars engines. It would be extremely
costly to replace motor after motor, when a simple yet integral part of maintenance, the Oil Change, only takes a few minutes
and relatively speaking, a few dollars to keep these motors in tip top shape.

Preventative Maintenance
|
|
This is defined as something that is performed that prolongs the life of your vehicle. From fluids, that keep things
lubricated. To filters, that keep junk out of the systems so air and fluids can move freely where they need to be.
To minute adjustments that keep everything precisely on track and in proper time. All these services need to
be performed in a timely manner or at certain mileage intervals. Therefore, excessive wear can be limited to the best
of our ability. Wearable items will wear over time, but with proper maintenance, the best chance for their longevity
is achieved.

Suspension
|
|
The suspension of your vehicle is the entire network of rods, links, linkage, shocks and struts. It is how your vehicle
rides, handles and performs. If these parts are loose or worn they won't hold an alignment properly. If you
don't have a good alignment you will end up with uneven tire wear and possibly a poor handling car.

Tires
|
|
We've all heard the statement, "where the rubber meets the road." To us, this is more than a casual statement.
Any tire or repair shop can tell you that, "you need new tires." Well, to us, evaluating what you, the customer,
is saying about how your car is handling and then giving your vehicle a proper inspection, is the professional way of handling
a potential problem. Tire wear patterns tell us how the rubber does meet the road. When you say it "thumps"
or it "pulls," this helps us in making our diagnosis. Then our seasoned and trained technicians can
offer you the best tire that meets your driving needs. We also use state of the art computer wheel balancing equipment
to handle your tire and wheel problems the right way.

Towing
|
|
Being able to provide the towing service, in house, is a huge benefit to you our customer. It allows the
customer the opportunity to know that your vehicle is being towed and serviced by the same people.

Tune Ups
|
|
This subject encompasses many, many areas, but one thing's for sure--we all know when we need one. The vehicle
doesn't start, it doesn't stop when you turn off the key, it runs rough, it has no power, etc. Vehicles have
become increasingly more sophisticated and complicated, and now they use numerous complicated operational systems, most of
which are controlled electronically or by computer. To meet these challenges, we have invested in the latest and best
diagnostic equipment which our technicians use to evaluate and resolve engine problems. But, keep in mind, the equipment
only provides the data or the system path. The technician makes the repair decisions gleaned from the data. The
technical training necessary to make these decisions must be ongoing. Fortunately, vehicle manufacturers, suppliers,
and aftermarket businesses are doing a good job of keeping repair facilities like us informed and educated.

Heavy Trucks and Motorhomes
|
|
We have a dedicated bay for our heavy vehicle customers. From plowing, towing, and buses to large trucks.
These vehicles need heavy duty tooling to perform many basic operations because of their size and the jobs they do.
Liskey's is equipped and staffed to handle these heavy duty jobs.
