Bellflower Traction Control System Repair

Bellflower car owners are a bit confused with all the new dashboard alerts and buttons on newer vehicles. One in particular is TCS. TCS stands for Traction Control System, this is a feature that ‘s on all new vehicles and can help to prevent the drive wheels from losing traction on slippery roads.

Here’s some basic information on what the TCS (Traction Control System) does.

The Traction control system uses your wheel-speed sensors on your antilock brake system to feel when one or more of the drive wheels are slipping and or loosing traction. While all vehicles vary depending on your make and model, it will then reduce power to the drive wheels and/or apply the brakes to try to restore valuable traction. When the TCS engages, a dashboard light may illuminate to alert you of the action.

Moreover, TCS works like a driver who eases their foot off the accelerator when they feel a drive wheel starting to slip, as if they were to accelerate too quickly on a slick surface. Additionally, TCS can detect a wheel slip sooner, react faster and, on some cases, reduce the power to individual drive wheels on some vehicles.

Depending on your vehicle some TCS systems vary in performance, some traction control systems can intervene too quickly or may shut off too much power to the drive wheels, and the result is you may have a vehicle stuck in a snow or ice storm and find yourself going nowhere. Some situations you may be better to turn off the traction control systems and get moving by rocking your vehicle back and forth or powering through by flooring the accelerator.

Even though some earlier versions of TCS began to appear in the ’70s, it wasn’t until the late ’80s that TCS became more widely available on more vehicles, initially on high-end vehicles such as BMW, Mercedes nd other high end brands. Now, all modern vehicles now have TCS, but it has become less visible in the last decade due to the fact it ‘s incorporated into the electronic stability control system (SCS).

Don’t you hate when you’re peacefully driving through Bellflower enjoying your jams on the radio and suddenly a vehicle with a screaming exhaust drive by, sometime so loud that you may panic and swerve as the vehicle drives by. Even worse is when you discover it’s your car! Don’t panic, Orozco’s Auto Service can silence that noise.

While we all know your muffler can keep your engine running quietly, but it’s also a key factor of your overall exhaust system. Your vehicles exhaust system has three main functions:

As we all know one of the primary functions is to muffle the engine noise with the muffler. Additionally, it safely gets hot exhaust gas from the engine out the tailpipe via a network of pipes starting with the exhaust manifold. Lastly, it treats the exhaust to remove harmful pollutants with the help of your catalytic converter.

Now let get back to the poisonous exhaust (carbon monoxide) exiting your engine. You don’t want that getting into your passenger compartment, carbon monoxide can be deadly. That’s why you should never run your engine in a closed area/garage. If you have a leak somewhere in the exhaust system, exhaust could get into the passenger cabin and make you sick or even kill you if ignored.

If you smell exhaust in the vehicle, roll down your windows and go to an Orozco’s Auto Service or any qualified mechanic to get it inspected as soon as possible. You may smell or see exhaust coming from the engine compartment or under the vehicle if you have a leak. Sometimes it sounds like a ticking sound when you start the engine that goes away as you drive. That may be a small crack or a bad fitting or seal that leaks when it’s cold but seals up when the metal heats and expands. It can also make sound from an exhaust leak that is loud and obvious as stated above.

Now, about that poisonous gas and the environmental issues. Exhaust gas contains a number of pollutants and dirty particulates. Your catalytic converter scrubs some of those harmful substances. And diesel vehicles have systems to deal with soot. Catalytic converters will eventually wear out and need to be replaced. Unfortunately, they are expensive so you want to help them last as long as possible by keeping your fuel system clean and replacing your air filter regularly. These components need to be tested for function with an emission tests from time to time.

If you believe your vehicle’s exhaust system needs service or are not sure and would like to have your vehicle inspected, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at (562) 920-1871. Keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Coil Spring Repair

The coil spring is commonly on most modern vehicles, generally smaller vehicles like sedans. Coil spring have a helical appearance and goes around the struts or shocks. Although, on some vehicles, they are mounted individually.

Coil springs come in soft or hard variations, depending their use. As for example, if they are used on a heavy vehicle, the coil spring will be hard to offer maximum support for the large weight. Coil springs go to each wheel, forming a central compression zone. This comes in handy for a smooth Bellflower ride.

Coil springs have been around since the early 1900s, they’re prominence shot up during the ’70s with the change in automobile technology. Today’s springs have many applications due to their versatility. You find them on everything from standard sedans, to sports cars, vans, SUVs, and trucks.

The coil springs function is to support the vehicle at a desired height, to maintain alignment angles and to help absorb road shock transmitted through the tires and shock absorbers.

Continual flexing during normal use will gradually weakens your vehicles suspension system, which in turn allows the car to sag. Once this sag becomes pronounced, the entire vehicle is affected. Steering components are out of position, altering steering linkage geometry. The good new is what has been lost from the original coil spring can be completely repaired by installation of new set of coil springs. This will get your vehicle back to it’s factory correct height.

When to have your springs inspected and or replaced?

We recommend having your vehicles’ coil springs inspected at regular intervals along with your entire suspension system that can include struts, shocks, sway bar links, bushings and more. A quick visual inspection will detect any obvious sag from front to rear or from side to side. Upon visual inspection under your vehicle, we will look for the two ends of the control arms out of level, damaged or worn rubber bumpers and shiny or worn spring coils. All this can indicate weak coil springs. If you also live or often drive your vehicle in a colder climate where roads are often salted in winter weather, you should consider having your steering and suspension system checked more often due o the fact that salt can cause speed up your spring corrosion.

Car Care means exactly what it implies, caring for your car. But what are all these cares and don’t all auto shops maintain the care of my vehicle? Many auto repair shops may be efficient at individual tasks not all shops are equal. For instance, when you bring your vehicle to Orozco’s Auto Service for maintenance, we give your vehicle a 21 point inspection and then make recommendations for your car’s care. Additionally we maintain detailed records of any maintenance or repairs we perform. Another benefit of regular car care is you can prove that your vehicle has been well maintained, and this will pay off when your ready to resell it. Lastly, it’s important to remember that car care can come at a cost, while it’s not always cheap, it can ultimately help you avoid future expensive repairs.

Below are some Car Care tasks you can handle on your own and some you should leave to Orozco’s Auto Service.

Personal Car Care

REPLACE WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Windshield wipers usually need to be replaced about once a year due to the diversity of Los Angeles weather, or if the effectiveness of cleaning your windshield is compromised.  One simple trick to check your wipers is use the windshield wiper-washer occasionally to check the effectiveness of your wipers before you’re stuck in the rain.

OIL AND FLUID LEVELS
Every month, or every few gas fill-ups and especially before any longer road trips, it’s a good idea to open the hood of your car and check your fluids. This can include the oil, brake fluid, steering fluid, transmission fluid and coolant levels while the engine is cool. Low levels of either can lead to engine problems if left unchecked. Always refer to your owner’s manual to locate the inspection ports on your specific vehicle.

WAX VEHICLE
Waxing your vehicle every six months after washing it won’t just keep it shiny, it’ll also help to keep both the paint in good shape and help reduce the chance of rust. Many road irritants such as dust, sand, and winter road salt can build up and environmental factors like ozone and ultraviolet light can cause microscopic damage, but waxing can help minimize this by forming a protective seal to extend your paint’s life. Always consult with a professional to determine the best automotive wax for your vehicle.

AIR FILTER
Your engine’s air filter is what regulates air flow into your engine and help keep out debris and dust particulate. When you make certain that your air filter is flowing properly, you can also improve fuel efficiency, decrease your emissions, and help prolong the life of your engine. This can be done easily at home or a service station when you fill your tank, be sure to check your owner’s manual for instructions and how often it needs to be changed.

VEHICLE LIGHTS
The lights on your vehicle aren’t just so you can see at night, they are also an import part of driving safely in day or night. Unfortunately, it’s a simple function of your vehicle that can be easily overlooked. Once a month, turn on your headlights when the vehicle parked in front of a flat surface and check that both headlights are working properly and well-positioned. Then walk around your vehicle and visually inspect both turn signals and your parking lights. Have a friend stand behind the car while you engage the brakes to be certain that your brake lights are functional. If you’re on your own you can always back close to a flat surface as stated before in reverse and see through your rear view mirrors if they are working.

TIRE PRESSURE
Now days with todays gas prices it’s more important that ever to have well-maintained tires that are not only safe but also fuel-efficient, make it a habit to visually inspect your tires often. Check your tire pressure every month, and before long trips or carrying an extra load. Don’t forget the spare. Always keep a tire pressure gauge in the vehicle, it will be needed to check your tire pressure. Also, during the colder months, note that tire pressure drops one pound with every 10 degree decrease in pressure. Your owner’s manual will tell you how much air pressure your tire needs.

Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower – Car Care

OIL & FILTER
The motor oil in your vehicle’s maintains several functions that include: lubricating moving parts, acting as a sealant against debris, helps cools the engine, reduces wear and tear, and helps prevent engine corrosion. Keeping your engine clean is vital for your engine’s good health. Depending on your vehicle and what kind of oil you use, you may need to change both the oil & oil filter every 3 months or 3000 miles. Many newer vehicles’ owners’ manuals will recommend changing your oil less frequently if they are using a synthetic or a synthetic bend oil – often in-between 5,000 and 10,000 miles. Check your vehicle owner’s manual and consult with a Orozco’s Auto Service professional to be certain what is appropriate for your vehicle.

TIRE ROTATION
Depending on your vehicle usage, alignment, and several other factors, the tread wear patterns on your tires may vary between the front and back tires, or even from one side of the tread to the other. Rotating your tires will extend the service life of your tires by more evenly balancing the tread wear, and helping prevent noise and vibration problems.

TRANSMISSION FLUID
A lot like the oil in your engine, transmission fluid is a lubricant that helps keep all of the moving parts inside of your transmission functioning properly. Whether you’re driving an automatic or manual transmission vehicle, it is essential that you have your transmission fluid checked and changed when necessary to avoid costly transmission damage or even a replacement. Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.

TRANSFER CASE FLUID
In four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles, the transfer case is what shifts power from the transmission to the axles. You should have your transfer case fluid checked according to your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations to be certain that it is properly filled and leak-free. This requires getting under the vehicle, so bringing it into Orozco’s Auto Service or an equivalent professional is recommended.

INSPECT SHOCKS AND STRUTS
The shocks and struts on your vehicle function to control the impact and rebound as your vehicle moves over bumps in the road and is an essential part of your vehicle’s suspension system. They should be inspected by a professional every 50,000 miles or bring your car into Orozco’s Auto Service if you notice a decrease in smoothness or loss of control when driving.

COOLANT FLUID EXCHANGE
The radiator in your car is a critical component that helps keep your engine cool and working properly. You should regularly have your coolant system flushed, it will help get rid of contaminants that can build up inside as well as ensure that your radiator is filled to the proper level. Always check your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation to find out how often your coolant should be changed.

SPARK PLUGS
Spark plugs ignite the gas and air mixture in your engine that ultimately powers your vehicle . If one or more of your spark plugs aren’t functioning properly, your engine will lose power and won’t run at optimal capacity. Have a professional check and replace any faulty spark plugs depending on the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations or if you feel a decrease in your engine’s power.

SERPENTINE BELT
Although it may seem like a simple piece of rubber, your vehicle’s serpentine belt is essential to keeping your car running by powering peripheral devices such as your alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioner compressor. A simple visually inspection of the belt to ensure that it is free of cracks or other wear and tear. Replace id damaged or according to your vehicle manufacture’s recommendation.

FRONT AND/OR REAR DIFFERENTIAL
The differentials are devices that split the torque or power from the engine and allow it to send the proper amount of power to the tires. In front or rear-wheel drive vehicles, there is only one differential, but in 4-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles, there is both a front and rear differentials, and possibly even a center differential. Like many parts of your vehicle, differentials need to be kept lubricated to ensure reliable functionality. Have a professional check and change fluid whenever your vehicle manufacturer recommends it.

BATTERY CHECK
Batteries are one of the most important components for your vehicle. Car batteries supplies large amounts of electrical current for the starter, engine and other electronic accessories in the vehicle. Extreme temperatures in our desert can affect the performance of your batteries life so regular battery testing will ensure that battery will perform at it’s best.

CHANGE TIRES
Tire wear can depend greatly on driving habits, the function of the vehicle, maintenance, and the road surfaces you regularly drive on. Realizing when you need new tires may be a little tricky for some. They’re curious to know if they absolutely need to replace their tires. There’s a simple answer to all of these kinds of questions; a new set of quality tires will alleviate the stress of worrying about the safety and performance of the tires you have right now. One simple test is to place a penny between the tread grooves with the top of Lincoln’s head nearest to the tire. If you can see any space above the top of the head, it’s a good time to replace your tires. If you feel you need new tires for any reason stop into Orozco’s Auto Service for a complete inspection.

Always keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you! If you believe your vehicle needs service or are not sure and would like to have your vehicle diagnosed, contact Orozco’s Auto Service.

Bellflower Auto Lights Repair

People may not think much about their vehicle’s Lights and Signals when you jump in your car, truck or SUV and head off to work on Bellflower’s busy morning roads. After all, your lights are on outside of your vehicle, and you may not even know if they aren’t working until it starts to get dark. Some vehicles have sensors that show you a warning message when you have a broken light, but for many vehicles, you have to stay alert and check them yourself. Unlike the headlights, you may not notice when you have a nonfunctional tail light, brake light, or signal. In some vehicles they will show an erratic blinking when you signal a turn. An easy way to check on your own is to turn on the hazard lights and then go outside your vehicle to check, but brake lights aren’t as easy to check without the help of a friend.

One of the most common Auto Lights Repairs is brake light & turn signal failures which is usually simply a burned out bulb. Unfortunately, glass bulbs all burning out sooner or later is a reality for all of us. Time and the elements will wear your bulbs down and inevitably lead to failure. Keeping a set of replacement bulbs on hand in your car will keep you legal and safe on the road.

If you have replaced your bulbs and the problem is still there, you may have a short in the light or signal’s wire harness. One of the pins could be burned or melted, causing a slight voltage irregularity which may even trigger a check engine light. If you replaced all of your bulbs and they still don’t function, or you have a check engine light, check all of your wire connections closely and see if you have any abnormalities.

If your turn signal stops working or works intermittently, you should use hand signals until you can get it fixed to avoid getting a ticket or in an accident. Turn signal mechanics are a bit more complicated than brake lights or taillights since they involve switching on and off, so if you are experiencing problems with your turn signal, it would be best to have one of our Orozco’s Auto Service ASE Certified Technicians check your vehicle to diagnose the problem, fix it, and reset all lights and warnings.

If you believe your vehicle’s lights needs service or are not sure and would like to have your vehicle inspected, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at (562) 920-1871. Keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Oil Change

Most all Bellflower car owners know they should get their vehicle’s oil changed regularly, but there’s also a reason to procrastinate. Some of those reasons may be; I don’t have time, it cost too much, I hate waiting, I don’t like repair shop restrooms and so on. Not to worry here at Orozco’s Auto Service of bellflower we know how you feel. We and our families have all gone through some of those same frustrations and that’s why we want to put your mind at ease. First, the easy answers. Orozco’s Auto Service maintains the cleanest of waiting rooms and restrooms, they sparkle! We have several options for making appointments over the phone or SCHEDULE A FREE APPOINTMENT. You can also drop off your vehicle and we can drop you off at your home or office within 10 miles. We know budgets are tight these days but getting regular oil serve will save you more in the long run. Now to make you feel even better. Something as simple as an oil change may not seem critical to keeping your car running well, but neglecting your vehicles oil can cause some serious problems. Below is some information why you need to make sure you get an oil change at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals.

Topping off oil versus changing oil: If you check your vehicle’s dipstick and the oil level is low, then adding oil is only a temporary way to solve the problem for getting you back on the road. Don’t worry if you need to occasionally top off your oil, most cars will start to burn a little oil as they get older. If the issue persists stop into any Orozco’s Auto Service and we can check it out.

Changing the oil: Requires draining the engine of all the old oil that is most likely very dark in color due to dirt and debris and replacing it with fresh oil that is usually golden in color to a specified level indicated by the dipstick. You will also need to get a new oil filter, which will help to keep the fresh oil clean by collecting some of that dirt and debris that the oil captures on its way through your car’s engine. Your vehicle’s oil needs to be changed at the manufacturer’s recommendations or when it gets too dirty to accomplish its job of keeping your engine components moving smoothly. At Orozco’s Auto Service, we do all this and give your vehicle a full inspection along with checking and topping off all fluids that appear low which is part of our recommended maintenance plan.

Oil keeps it clean: If you look at the contents of a fresh bottle of oil, you’ll notice that it’s more of a golden amber color compared to the brown or black oil on your dipstick. That’s because it’s clean. As oil moves through your engine, it carries away dirt and grime that gradually turns the oil dark. Dark, dirty oil will not do a good job of lubricating or cleaning your engine. You should get your oil changed at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals to ensure that your engine remains clean and running smoothly. Luckily Bellflower isn’t particularly a dirty or dusty environment, but if you travel to that type of a climate you should get your oil (not to mention their air filters) changed more often.

Another reason oil changes are so important is because the primary function of your engine’s oil is keeping all the metal parts of your engine lubricated. This will prevent any metal-on-metal contact, which can cause damage to your engine that can be very costly to repair. The oils task is to keep thin layer of oil on key components which maintains them sliding smoothly and reduces friction that could otherwise damage your engine over time. The oil also reduces friction which in turn reduces heat buildup, which can also be a problem for your engine.

Finally, If you notice your oil change light lit on your dashboard, don’t ignore it. Your car most likely isn’t in any immediate danger of being damaged, but the light coming on is definitely not something to avoid. If it’s on, your oil needs attention. It may just be low and need to be topped off, but if it’s time for an oil change, be sure to stop by or make an appointment at Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower in the near future.

Drivers in Bellflower know that if you want your car to last, you need to maintain it. But when we asked Bellflower drivers what they need to do to make their cars last longer, their answers were lets say, light on details. For instance, the most common answer was getting your oil changed, but with a follow up question of regarding how often you should get your oil changed people were a bit less informed. Additionally, that was pretty much the same when asked about their belts and hoses, batteries, coolant fluid, windshield wipers, and so on.

So to help clear up some of the misinformation out there and help you keep your vehicle running as long as possible, here are a some fact from your friends at family owned Orozco’s Auto Service.

Get Regular Oil Changes

Forgetting to get your oil changed is one of the worst and possibly most costly services to neglect. Oil is the blood of your cars engine and needs to stay healthy. It’s better to spend a few dollars now, than to put it off and risk seizing your engine. If you use Standard oil it should be changed every 3,000 miles or 6 months and synthetic oil is every 6,000 miles or 18 months.

Maintenance Tip: Always consult your owners manual for the manufacturers recommendations on changing your oil.

Keep Your Battery & Battery Terminals Clean

If neglected your battery and batteries terminals can begin to show signs of corrosion, this shows as a white powdery substance on the battery terminals. If you don’t keep them clean, your battery can start to malfunction, and possibly leave you stranded. Today like everything else, car batteries can be pretty expensive and the luxury brand cars are even more. Investing in a wire brush and keeping the terminals clean is time and money well spent.

Maintenance Tip: Visit Orozco’s Auto Service for a battery check every 6 months.

Air Filter Replacement

Your car’s air filters (one in the engine compartment and another (cabin filter) that is generally behind the glove box helps keep pollutants and dust from entering your engine and in through the vents. The air filters have a very important job, so you want to keep them maintained. Additionally, using an old air filter past its life can lead to some major problems for your AC system. Something nobody want to deal with when it’s completely preventable.

Maintenance Tip: You should get your air filters inspected regularly and changed every 12 months or 12,000 mile, sometimes more often in a dry dusty climate.

Windshield Wipers Replacement

Bellflower summers can he hot and that means you should regularly check your windshield wipers. If you discover you need new wipers the cost of new ones can vary. We recommend checking your wipers at least twice a year so you’re not caught in a sudden rain, be it a summer downpour or a winter storm. Obviously, a dirty windshield or worn out wipers can significantly hamper your view not only endangers you and your passengers but also the people around you.

Maintenance Tip: Use your windshield wiper’s window cleaning function regularly to stay up-to-date on your windshield wipers effectives.

Get Your Tires Rotated

You can extend the life of your tires by getting them rotated regularly? All four tires on your car do not wear down at the same rate and switching them around will help them to wear more evenly. The front or back set of tires can wear down at different rates depending on your vehicle, your speed and roads conditions. Maintaining to rotate your tires can extend their life and keep you and you family safe longer.

Maintenance Tip: Rotate your tires every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or per your manufacturers recommendations.

Suspension System Inspection

Your suspension system is an intricate part of your vehicle that most people rarely think about, until it stops working and leaving you stranded. One of the key elements of your vehicle’s suspension is the shocks and struts, these help maintain a smooth ride, and ignoring this issue can  prematurely wear out your tires not to mention causing a very uncomfortable ride.

Maintenance Tip: Have your full suspension system checked every 15,000 to 30,000 miles.

Check Your Coolant Level

A very important element of your vehicles cooling system is the coolant and should always be maintained at a full level. If your coolant gets to low your vehicle can overheat and do some serious damage to your engine. Your coolant affects so many elements of you car from air conditioner to the heater, radiator and water pump and more. Something that impacts that much of your car’s overall health should never be neglected.

Maintenance Tip: Regularly check your coolant level whenever you get gas or are preparing for a long trip.

Check Your Spare Tire

The only thing worse than getting a flat tire is finding out the spare tire is low on air of flat. Forcing you to call a tow truck—which not only can take several hours out of your day or night, it can also cost you a lot of money depending on where your tire blew out.

Maintenance Tip: Always check your tires air pressure, including the spare at least once a month. Maintaining the appropriate air pressure will also help your gas mileage.

Belts and Hoses

At least once a year perform a visual inspection on your belts and hoses. If worn belts and hoses fail they can cause damage to essential components of your engine including but not limited to your cooling system, heater, air conditioner and more. And for those hard to get to belts and hoses feel free to stop by any Orozco’s Auto Service and we will be happy to check them out.

Bellflower Brake Repair

Brake repair should never be neglected. One of your vehicles most important elements besides your engine are the brakes. Your engine will make your vehicle go but your brakes allow you stop. Unfortunately, most Bellflower drivers don’t really think much about their brakes, until they stop working which can lead to a serious accident. To help avoid that scary thought we would like to share some of the signs that it’s time to get your brakes inspected. For example, one of the most common failures of your brake are the brake pads. If they are routinely checked you can get them replaced before they cause more serious damage to your vehicle.

Most newer vehicles, the front wheels braking apparatus depend on the rotors: large metal discs mounted behind each wheel. Above each rotor is a clamping device called the caliper. When you apply pressure on the brake pedal, your calipers start to close, squeezing the rotors from both sides. This action creates friction, which as a result slows your vehicle until it comes to a full stop safely.

The brake pads, per their name are pads that are mounted inside the calipers to make contact with the rotors during the previously mentioned process. Unfortunately, brake pads don’t last forever. Additionally, the friction stopping process will eventfully wear down the pads. Also, depending on your driving habits and freeway versus city can also take a toll on them, making them wear out even quicker. When your brake pads get too thin your they won’t work as well as they should, you may need brake repair and that’s when to visit or schedule a free appointment with the Experts at Orozco’s Auto Service.

Tips for possible brake problems:

Clicking noises
Some vehicles, brake pads fit snugly into a special holding device. Other vehicles keep them steady with pins, clips or bolts. The common goal behind these designs is to keep the brake pads from wobbling. If they become loose, they will begin to rattle. What happens next is a clicking sound that rings out when the brake pedal is pushed or released.

Vibrations when the brake is pressed
If your brake pedal shakes whenever you step on it your brake pads may be the problem. Brake pads are typically held together with a binding resin. As each brake pad wears down, this adhesive gets hot and can get smeared across the rotor. Under the best of  circumstances, it will form a layer that’s evenly spread over the disc’s surface. But if a brake pad gets overheated, the resin may not be distributed uniformly. This is called this issue “glazing” and it can cause brake pedals to vibrate.

Your car pulls to one side when braking
Brake pads don’t always wear out at the same rate. Depending on your daily Long Beach commute, following the same turns day after day can result in uneven wear. Should this occur, your vehicle may pull slightly to one side or the other when you use the brakes. Leaving this problem unchecked can put unnecessary stress on your vehicles suspension like the ball joints, steering knuckles, wheel bearings and more.

Screeching noises
Most brake pads are built with “wear indicators.” Wear indicators are small metal tabs located near the top of typical brake pads. When the brake pad wears down an unsafe level, the indicator will scrape against the rotor. This creates a distinctive grating noise which warns drivers that the brake pads are in immediate need of service. If you ignore this to long the pads can completely wear our forcing your vehicle to stop with metal grinding on metal that will destroy your rotors and lead to complete brake failure.

Stopping takes longer than it used to
This is called “brake fade.” This is usually a result of applying the brakes over a vast distance without bringing the car to a full stop. Sometime this can be a bad driving habit know as ridding the brake, some people are overly cautious which can wear on your brakes. This can also happen while driving down a mountainside or over winding roads. However, if you live in an area will lots of hills you ridding the brakes may not be avoidable—but, over time it will take a toll on your braking system.

If your vehicle has any of the above signs or you feel your vehicle’s brake system needs service or are not sure and would like to have your brakes inspected, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at (562) 920-1871.

Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower would like to remind all of our customers, along with their families and friends to keep a Roadside Emergency Kit in their vehicle(s). We can’t predict when they may be a closed road or freeway that can leave you stranded for hours or even worse some sort of accident. If you find yourself on one of those scenarios, having a Roadside Emergency Kit with the proper components can make a big difference in keeping you and your passengers safe until that road opens or help arrives. Depending on the issue, securing the right components can go a long ways in turning a difficult situation into something a bit more tolerable.

While some of the most common items can be found in most trunks or the spare tire compartment, you may no always have the proper items to handle a medical or mechanical problem when it occurs. While there are many kits available on the market, you can always prepare your own for the type vehicle you drive, as well as the typical weather conditions in your geographical area. As many Bellflower drivers know, you can be hitting the slops in our local mountains in the afternoon and enjoying dinner in our local desert climate in the same day. Meaning, it’s best to prepare for both hot and cold emergency scenarios.

Here are some suggestions for your Roadside Emergency Kit:

Flares & Roadside Lighting
Flares or reflective triangles are one of the most important safety items for your kit. These will warn other drivers of the roadside hazard. In case of a breakdown they should be spaced out evenly along the roadside behind your vehicle. If you’re looking for a longer-lasting option, invest in battery-operated LED flares.

Jumper Cables
These are another essential for every vehicle. Batteries can die or lose their charge at the least opportune moment; jumper cables, with a jump-start from another vehicle, can at least get you to the next service station. You should also consider carrying a separate battery pack for starting your car if no one is around.

Car Fluids & Tools
Flat tires are one of the most common roadside problems, but it’s not always possible to change a tire. Including a can of tire inflator and sealant in your kit, if it’s a small leak you’ll have a better chance at making it to a service station and at minimum a safer place to pull over. here are a few additional recommendations: motor oil, coolant, extra windshield wiper blades, and a toolkit with screwdrivers, pliers, and an adjustable wrench.

First Aid Kit
A first-aid kit is an must have item and is indispensable for addressing smaller, everyday injuries and more serious wounds in the case of an accident. You can purchase them pre-packed with all the essentials or assemble one customized to your needs.

Car Accessories for Winter / Mountains

An ice scraper, a spray bottle with washer fluid, snow chain, blankets, a sleeping bag or a heat-retaining emergency survival blanket, bottled water and long-lasting food items such as energy bars can be rotated out over time.

Car Accessories for Summer / Desert

Bottled water and long-lasting food items such as energy bars can be rotated out over time. Hat with a wide brim, Sunglasses, sturdy knife / multitool, several large leaf bags or solar blankets for instant body shelter from the sun, a small mirror or a signal mirror, matches, butane lighter or flint and steel, a police-type whistle, flashlight and batteries, duct tape.

With today’s high tech cars and trucks, along with the endless mobile electronics we take with us we all need a strong car battery. Weather you’re on a family road trip or just doing local errands in Bellflower you need your electronic devices to keep working. Some of these electronics may be playing your music, finding your destination, entertaining your children with movies and more. Your car’s battery is crucial part of your vehicle, it sends power to the starter to turn over the engine and stores electricity generated by the alternator to maintain power. So besides powering all the latest gadgets extending the life of your car battery can help you avoid an untimely breakdown.

The truth about car batteries is the only last a few years, if your lucky three to five, and there are multiple factors that can reduce their lifespan. To help you get the most out of your vehicle’s battery here are a few tips.

Keep Accessories Off When Starting The Engine

Seat warmers, heated steering wheels, lights, radio, cell phones, climate control and navigation systems are all a drain on your vehicle’s battery. When starting your vehicle, especially in cold weather. A good tip is to turn everything off when you exit your vehicle so you don’t have to worry about them when you have to rush out.

Avoid Short Trips

If your vehicle sites unused for long periods try to occasionally take extended trip to help the battery regain a full charge. If you know your vehicle will have extended periods of infrequent use, invest in a charger that can supply a low power to help your battery maintain a full charge and not drain down completely.

Be Cautious Of Extreme Weather

Extreme temperatures can be detrimental to your vehicles battery. In Bellflower our hot summers can cause your vehicle’s battery to age more quickly. And if you’re staying in a colder climate with snow that can also also be hard on our battery, as it causes our vehicle to use up more power. Don’t forget to test your battery in every season, not just when it gets cold.

Clean Battery Terminals And Test Your Battery

Your vehicle’s battery requires maintenance and testing. Occasionally check the battery’s connections to make sure that they are secure and clean and aren’t showing any signs of corrosion.

Batteries can routinely develop a powdery substance where the cables connect to the terminals. If you’re up for it, start by disconnecting the cables. Then, in a small container, mix two tablespoons of baking soda with an equal amount of water and blend to form a paste. Use a toothbrush to apply the paste to each terminal, followed by a wire brush to remove the residue. Finally, wipe the terminals dry with a clean towel before reconnecting them. There are also special corrosion cleaner sprays, terminal protection sprays, and battery terminal cleaning tools you can purchase to make this process easier.

Most newer vehicles have a waring light on the dash to indicate if the battery isn’t maintaining a full charge or may not be able to accept a recharge. If not, replace the battery immediately.

At Orozco’s Auto Service we know everyone’s not up for the challenge of diving into their engine to maintain and check their battery. If your vehicle has any of the above signs or you feel your vehicle’s battery needs service or are not sure and would like to have it diagnosed, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at (562) 920-1871. Keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Most people don’t give much though about their car’s suspension while it’s working. But once something goes wrong it can be very complicated. Imagine that you suddenly you notice uneven wear on your tires or start to feel excessive play with your steering wheel. Or all of a sudden you hit a pothole on one of our local Bellflower roads  that damages your suspension. These are some of the signs that you may have suspension problems. Another possible sign to look for is if the front of your vehicle slumps when braking or bottoms out when accelerating.

 Due to the fact that your suspension is installed under your vehicle, many people ask “what is the suspension?”. Well simply put, t’s part of your vehicles chassis, this includes the steering system, the wheels along with the frame. Your suspension system supports your entire vehicle, helping to reduce the effect of impacts from the road and maintains proper wheel alignment. It’s crucial for accurate steering, stopping and stability. Every time you hit a bump, pothole or object in the road, your suspension absorbs the impact and maintains control.

In most modern vehicles suspension systems are made up of many parts such as: shocks, springs absorbers, pull rods, air springs, struts, torsion bars, leaf springs, etc.  that all connect to your vehicle wheels one way or another.

As you can imagine, with all those parts your suspension has lots of joints and pivot points that allow your wheels to move smoothly up and down over bumps, and to turn as you steer. With all that work your vehicle does over time will wear out those joints. Once a joint is worn, the suspension parts don’t fit together as originally designed, handling and steering can feel loose, and you may hear some disconcerting noises. Eventually your tires will begin to wear unevenly because they are bouncing al over the road. A loose joint has the effect of stressing other suspension components as well, causing a chain reaction so other components will wear out faster.

Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower recommends getting proper maintenance based on your vehicles manufacturer’s recommendations. This means regularly having your suspension inspected with certified ASE mechanics and repairing or replacing parts when ever necessary.

By addressing small problems before it becomes a major repair can help avoid costly future repairs. Also, be sure to have parts replaced or checked ensuring your mechanic follows the manufacturer’s specifications. Manufacturer’s also recommend replacing your shock absorbers at pre-estimated intervals.

If your car or truck is showing any of the above signs or you feel your vehicle’s suspension needs service or are not sure and would like to have it diagnosed, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Plus always keep your vehicle in good condition to ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Why do you only get a flat tire when you’re in a rush? It can happen when you walk out to your vehicle to head out to work and there’s a flat or your rushing to your children’s school to pick them up and notice you’re car pulling to one side and is a bit sluggish or even worse, your driving down the 91 freeway and get a blow out. Although these are all bad situations to be in, Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower understands, we know how inconvenient a flat tire can be. Tires can go flat for a lot of reasons, including punctures, a leaky valve stem, a damaged rim or just old worn tires. If you experience a flat or your tire is low on air, bring your vehicle to a safe stop as soon as possible without jeopardizing your safety or the people around you. If you’re stuck on the side of the road, turn on your hazard lights and raise your hood if it’s a safe place to exit your vehicle. Once you are safely situated, you can then change to your spare tire, try a tire sealer/inflator or call for a tow truck. If your tire is flat don’t try driving for even a very short distance on a deflated tire because it can damage your tire beyond repair and destroy your rim.

Sadly not all tires can be repaired, even if they just have a puncture. Here are a few examples of why some tires can’t be repaired.

The Tire May Have Other Issues
Even if you just have a simple puncture there are several reasons your mechanic can’t just patch the tire. If your tire is too old or worn beyond the tread wear indicators or if your tire has uneven wear and any of the metal parts inside are visible or your tire has a bubble, a tear, or a chunk of road debris stuck into your tire, it is unrepairable Unfortunately, if your tire wasn’t safe before the puncture, the tire shop won’t and can’t safely try to repair it.

The Puncture Isn’t in An Area They Can Patch
In order to repair a tire the puncture can’t be more than 20% away from the treads. If your puncture is to close the sidewall and is repaired, this can compromise the structure of the tire making it unsafe to travel on. Tire shops need to keep you safe, and they all follow industry standards and will not repair a puncture too close to either sidewall. Even if it’s close they won’t patch it to protect your safety and themselves from any liability.

If You Drive To Far With A Flat
Today’s tires have a complex inner structure for the sidewall that isn’t designed to support a vehicle’s weight when not inflated. Sometimes you can get away with driving on a flat for a very short distance – meaning a few feet but not a few blocks. Driving just a few minutes on the flat will not only destroy the sidewall structure in your tire, but you may also need to get a new wheel to go with that new tire.

Run Flat Tires
Most auto repair shops don’t and shouldn’t repair a run flat tire that has been punctured. Although, run flats are designed to get you to a repair shop or safely home within a certain distance with a common puncture, they’re not designed to be repaired or continue in service after having been driven when deflated. As a regular practice we don’t normally recommend run flat tires.

If you get a flat tire or think you may have a slow leak and would like to have your tires checked, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Getting a new car is one of the best moments in a persons life! But like all things new time starts to take it’s toll and that new car starts to age, the miles start to add up on the odometer, the new car smell starts to fade, that new car shine loses some sparkle and there may even be an old french fry lost somewhere in the seats. Then you notice that your vehicle doesn’t have the same get up go as before and it feels sluggish. Some times your vehicle sputters when accelerating or makes odd noises along with some new unfamiliar smells. Lastly, you notice the dreaded “Check Engine Light” showing up on your dash. These are usually the signs that you need a tune up. But, don’t worry, tune ups are essential and a common part of a regular maintenance programs for all vehicles.

Below are some of the more important tasks performed during a tune up. Depending on the needs of your vehicle other tasks may also need to be completed.

Ignition System Repair: During this part of the tune up, an Orozco’s Auto Service mechanic will examine your car’s ignition system and replace any parts that show signs of wear.

Fluid Replacement: You vehicle requires a variety of liquids to run and perform it’s many functions such as engine oil, brake fluid, coolant and transmission fluid.

During your tune up, an Orozco’s Auto Service technician will examine all these fluids and drain and replace them if they show any signs of contamination or loss of viscosity.

Belt and Hose Replacement: Your vehicle requires several belts and hoses to run all of it’s components along with your engine.

Over the course of your tune up, we will check your car’s hoses and belts and replace those that show any signs of wear.

Filter Replacement: Your vehicle relies on several filtration systems to filter the air that travels through the engine and the cabin, and they prevent contaminants from polluting your car’s fuel and oil. Each system plays a very important role in maintaining the way your vehicle performs. If your car’s oil filter isn’t replaced at regular intervals, it could cause dirty oil to clog your engine. an Orozco’s Auto Service technician will take a look at your vehicle’s filters and make all the necessary replacements.

Always refer to the maintenance section of your vehicles’ owners manual for their recommended tune up schedule, which can vary from vehicle to vehicle. In many cases, manufacturers advise tuning up your car or truck once every year. Getting regular tune-ups might seem like a hassle, but they’re worth the effort to prevent costly damage over time.

New car owners in Bellflower are all to often surprised when they discover their new vehicle uses Synthetic oil. Additionally, they discover a synthetic oil change is about twice the cost of the standard oil change. So when did this new expensive upgrade happen and will it really benefit me and my vehicle?

It all started in around 2019 when about 70% of all newer vehicles started to recommend using synthetic oil or a synthetic blend oil for their engines. We’ll get into synthetic blends in a later article, for now lets stick with synthetic oil. Synthetic oils are generally the better choice for performance and the longevity of your vehicle. This is based on the fact that synthetic oil protects your engine due to lower levels of friction which tend to protect your engine better at extreme high and low tempters. Moreover, synthetic oils don’t break down as quickly as standard oils meaning you can go further distances in between oil changes that helps to save money in the down the road.

So lets take a look at what synthetic oil is. Synthetic oil is artificially made from a variety of chemical compounds. They are then broken down and then rebuilt into new petroleum molecules. However, The base material, is still primarily crude oil that is distilled and then modified physically and chemically. There are multiple types of synthetics with distinctly different properties and applications that vary based on the ultimate standards of your vehicle.

Here are a few benefits of using Synthetic Oil:

• Synthetics have a naturally higher viscosity index. Meaning, the viscosity changes less as temperature changes during normal engine startup and operating conditions as a result of being a more stable compound than standard oil.
• Synthetic engine oils are generally less volatile than standard oils. This means there is less loss of the oil to the engine’s exhaust stream causing air pollution. This could also mean less need for adding oil between oil changes.
• At extremely low temperatures, it is possible for mineral oils to become so thick (high viscosity) that the oil is non-pumpable making it unable to circulate effectively within the engine.
• Synthetic oil has a longer lifespan than conventional oil. The recommended change interval for synthetic oil is around every 5,000 to 7,000 miles or 6 to 8 months, with some brands lasting much longer (15,000 to 25,000).
• Getting a longer engine life in most vehicles. Many Bellflower drivers have never owned a vehicle that lasted long enough to hit the 200,000 miles mark on their engine. But, with so many new vehicles using synthetic oils these days we will soon see more drivers every year achieving that goal.

In conclusion, for many vehicles, synthetic oils could be a better choice for overall engine operation, performance and longevity. Unless the biggest factor in making your selection of lubrication is solely based on cost. If you like the idea of fewer oil changes, upgrading to synthetic oil is the wisest choice, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower specializes in new tire sales for all types of vehicles. Whether you drive a car, truck, sports car or SUV we’ve got your tires. We offer competitive prices and the quality of our products are never compromised. We offer a huge variety tires of top brands like NEXEN, B.F. Goodrich, Hankook, Pirelli, Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone, Toyo and other numerous unparalleled brands in the market.

Many of Bellflower drivers choose to replace worn OEM (original equipment manufacturer) tires with aftermarket tires, whether it is in the interest of saving money or changing vehicle performance traits. If you decide to change tires, our certified service advisors should be able to suggest alternative models that fit your needs.

If you were happy with the performance of your old tires, you can of course replace them with the same model. Most auto companies spend thousands of dollars in research and development and work with tire makers to choose the tires that best suit their vehicles, but OEM tires can be much more expensive than aftermarket ones, especially when you get them through the dealership.

If you’re thinking about trying a different type of tire, you should choose one that best matches your driving habits, preferences, and local road conditions. “Touring” tires may provide a smoother ride, but performance may slightly suffer. On the other hand, high performance tires may enable you to turn, stop, and accelerate quicker but can be a noisier ride and cause a less comfortable ride. All-season tires can provide passable performance in most conditions, but will be heavily out performed by dedicated “summer” or winter tires, and lastly “economy” tires may be cheap and noisy with mediocre performance but are what works for you’re budget. Used tires are never recommended, but if your budget or untimely lose of a tire only allows for used tires make sure to check that they are still safe for use.

How do you know when you should get your vehicle new tires? Always pay attention to your vehicle’s performance, tire tread depth, and the age of your tires. A general rule is that if a tire is more than six years old, even if they look new and have never been driven on, they should be inspected thoroughly before use. The tires rubber can become brittle as it ages and this can lead to tire failure or loss of performance. As a consumer, you have the right to demand newer tires if you are buying them from a retailer. To determine the date of a tire’s manufacture, look for a series on the sidewall that begins with “DOT”. The last four numbers in this sequence will tell you the week and year that a tire was made. For example, 1822 means that the tire was made in the 18th week of 2022.

We recommend that you start shopping for new tires when your tread wears to 4/32 of an inch. This is just enough tread to sluice away water and keep your tires in contact with the road. The most common tread depth on new tires is 10/32 of an inch. The legal minimum in most states is 2/32 of an inch.

The Tire Tread Quarter Test. A Washington quarter, placed upside down in the tread grooves at several points, is a helpful gauge in determining a safe tread depth. From the coin edge to the top of Washington’s head is 4/32 inch.

The Tire Tread Penny Test. To be legal in most states, your tires must pass the Lincoln penny test. From the coin edge to the top of Lincoln’s head is 2/32 inch.

Wear Bars. Manufacturer’s place wear bars in the grooves between tire treads. Replace your tires before the tread wears flush with the bars.
Even on dry pavement, it takes longer to stop with bald tires. On wet pavement, you may not be able to avoid a hazard in time.

Taking Care of Your New Tires 

Always keep your tires inflated to the correct pressure. Your vehicle won’t handle well if your cars are too soft or too hard. Under or over inflation can even cause a blowout. Consult your owner’s manual or check the vehicle placard for the specified PSI (pounds per square inch) for your tires. (See Tire Size above.) Properly inflated wear tires wear evenly and can help you get up to 3% better gas mileage.

Periodic alignment checks and suspension checks. Even under the best conditions your wheels will move slightly out of alignment over time. This can result in them fighting for control over each other, reduce fuel efficiency, and cause premature tread wear. And worn shocks, struts, and other suspension components can also effect the life of your tire.

Rotate your tires. This helps ensure that your tires wear evenly. Most tire manufacturers recommend a 6,000-8,000 mile interval. It’s great way to remember to rotate your tires is have it done when you’re in for an oil change.

Always keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you! If you believe your tire are worn out or are not sure and would like to have them checked, contact Orozco’s Auto Service.

Bellflower Auto Air Conditioning Repair

Looking for local Automotive Air Conditioner Repair? Then Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower is your destination. Your vehicle’s air conditioning system is responsible for keeping you comfortable throughout the year. As part of your overall climate control it keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. So you might think that it only needs to be repaired to restore the cold cabin temperatures that keep you comfortable in Bellflower’s hot summers. That’s only part of the story, drivers need to know that a malfunctioning climate control system can cause harm to some of your vehicle’s other major systems year round.  Some Auto Air Conditioning problems can result in leaks that bleed corrosive fluid onto other components within your engine compartment. If neglected you may end up needing more than just Auto Air Conditioning Repair.

Here are some additional issues that can be a sign you may need Automotive A/C service:

A/C system starts out cold but gets warm. There are several possible causes for this problem: a faulty compressor clutch, a clogged expansion valve, a bad fuse or wire, or leaks may all cause this symptom.

Foul odor coming from your A/C system. Unpleasant odors coming from your car’s vents are usually caused by a dirty, old air cabin filter or a moldy evaporator case. We can clean your A/C lines, evaporator and ventilation system. Then add a biocide used to kill all bacteria, mold and fungi. The ventilation system and interior are deodorized. The air inside your vehicle will be much healthier, smell great and the A/C will run 4 to 5 degrees cooler due to increased efficiency.

A/C system isn’t as cold as it used to be. A/C losing its frigidity can be caused by a number of reasons, including a Freon leak caused by a loose seal, gasket, hose, or component, a clogged hose or tube, a failed compressor or component, a failed blower motor, a damaged or failed condenser or evaporator, vacuum leaks, or a failed switch, relay, fuse, or solenoid. A leak in the A/C system can end up compromising the entire system. If you or your mechanic discovers the leak early, then it most likely will not have damaged as many parts, and your repair will not be as expensive.

Weak airflow. One of the main causes for weak airflow can be mold or mildew accumulating in the evaporator core from moisture or condensation from regular operation, a hose coming loose and decreasing air pressure, ventilation fan failure, or seals coming loose and diminishing airflow.

Bellflower Radiator Repair

Have your ever noticed that when your watching a car chase movie that the car being chased usually overheats and suddenly there’s a bunch of steam coming from under the hood. This usually means that the vehicle has a damaged radiator due to being shot or pushing the vehicle past it’s limits. As we know, that’s just a movie. But the reality is radiators can be a fragile component of your engines cooling system and if not properly monitored and maintained it can fail and lead to additional costly engine repair. If you see steam coming from the radiator, it is an indicator just like in the movies that your radiator has not been able to do it’s job and it can quickly lead to additional costly repairs if you continue driving.

The radiator is one of the elements of your vehicle’s cooling system, and if there’s a problem with it, the extremely high temperature of your engine running will cause your vehicle to overheat and likely and if ignored for even a short period of time will fail. Additionally, your radiator prevents overheating by cooling the fluid that flows throughout your engine to dissipates engine heat.

Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower provides quality radiator repair and service. We can fix many types of leaks, radiator hoses, even replace with a new radiator from our 1,000’s of in-stock radiators. Occasionally you may notice water or a bright green or red colored antifreeze leaking under the vehicle this may mean there is a leak in either the radiator, the water pump, the thermostat, or one of the hoses.

Replacing and repairing the hoses or thermostat is usually a fairly simple process and shouldn’t be too expensive. Repairing a radiator or water pump can be a bit more tricky depending on their location. Water pumps usually need to be replaced opposed to repaired. Radiators can be either repaired or replaced depending on the damage and area of the damage. There are sometimes instances where the radiator can be repaired, but the technician knows the repair will not last due to the circumstances at hand.

Our ASE certified technicians have been repairing cooling systems and radiators for years. We have seen almost everything when it comes to radiator repair. We work on all makes and models and hope you will stop by and give us the opportunity to earn your business.

Your vehicle’s timing belt is the one of your engines components that failure could mean it’s time for a new engine. This because if your timing belt wears out your complete engine can seize up immediately. Luckily Orozco’s Auto Service can help you prevent this type of disaster with some simple maintenance and or replacing your timing belt.

Timing Belt Repair and What is it?

In essence, the timing belt or timing chain keeps the top half of your engine (valves) synced to the bottom half (crankshaft). Simple put, the timing belt is a ribbed belt that is run in a specific setup on one side of a vehicle’s engine to keep the crankshaft and camshafts timed properly. Many vehicles today have a timing chain that is more reliable but still needs replacing eventually. Most older vehicle run with a timing belt, the best way to determine if your vehicle has a timing belt or a chain is to refer to the maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual or stop by Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower and one of our ASE trained Service Advisors can look it up for you. Generally  manufacturer’s recommend a maintenance schedule for timing belt replacement differs between vehicles, most timing belts should be replaced every 60,000 miles or 5 years – whichever comes sooner.

There are two types of engine timing configurations that employ timing belts: interference and non-interference. An interference engine means that the valve’s stroke and piston’s stroke occupy the same space in the cylinder at different times, so the timing belt keeps them from colliding with each other. If the timing belt snaps, the cylinder and valves will most likely hit each other, which most commonly causes bent valves but can also result in cylinder head or camshaft damage, and possibly piston and cylinder wall damage. It is possible to get lucky and not suffer any damage from a snapped timing belt on an interference engine, but very unlikely. On a non-interference engine, pistons and valves never occupy the same space, so if the timing belt snaps, no valve or cylinder damage should occur, and theoretically, replacing the broken timing belt will revert your engine to normal function.

Changing your vehicle’s timing belt is not an easy job to do on your own, it’s not just a simple task like changing your oil. if you do it wrong, especially on an interference-type engine, can result in much more severe and expensive damage. At Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower our certified ASE trained technicians have the experience to replace all types of timing belts and timing chains on all makes and models. Additionally, all of our work is also back by a NAPA nationwide 2 year, 24,000 warranty and mile for a nominal fee can easily be extended to 3 years and 36,000. Also we know that there’s never a convenient time for a large repair, and that’s why we offer easy financing (OAC) to help get you back on the road as soon as possible.

Bellflower Diesel Engine Repair

Imagine getting into your diesel car to start down Alondra Blvd. and notice excessive smoke extruding from your vehicle or your engine is suddenly making more noise than a broken header. These are just a couple of signs that indicate it may be time for some diesel engine repair. Although diesel engines are a very durable and reliable engine, but unfortunately like like most machines they still break down eventually. With that being said and if you are looking for a reliable and affordable diesel engine technician, try Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower. We know diesel engine repair for all makes and models. Below are a few more signs that you may have problems with your diesel engine. Stalling engine, lower running RPMs, acceleration issues, engine is difficult to start, electrical problems and more.

Orozco’s Auto Service also offers many maintenance services like “Diesel Induction Service”. A fuel induction service that is typically not part of the mileage-based maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual. Although, it should still be part of your vehicle’s maintenance routine. We recommend it every 60,000 miles or whenever you notice performance issues. Typically, diesel fuel will oxidize and form residues that deposit in fuel injectors and combustion chambers. These deposits will drastically affect the engines performance by clogging fuel injectors and creating irregular spray patterns. This service is designed for concentrated cleaning of the injection pump and injectors.

As highly-skilled ASE technicians, we take pride in diagnosing any diesel engine problem and providing affordable repairs. We know these types of engines inside and out. Since we are skilled at repairing all types of problems, you can trust our technicians to ensure the repair job is done right the first time. It takes more than the right tools to repair a diesel engine. Unlike standard gasoline engines, diesel engine systems use their own compression to ignite fuel. They have significantly more compression in the chamber than gas-powered engines. This means that the air-to-gas mixture is very different as well. Due to the extreme compression, external sparking is not necessary. Built without spark plugs, a diesel engine runs more efficiently using glow plugs. Many of the new models can go for 500,000 miles without the need for a rebuild. At the first sign of any problem, it’s important to bring your vehicle to Orozco’s for diesel engine repair.

If you think your diesel engine car is showing any of the above symptoms or are not sure and would like to have it diagnosed, contact Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Remember always keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Brake Pads Replacement

Drivers in Bellflower are always asking “what is one of the most important components of my vehicle?” They are the brakes of course, in particularly, the brake pads. These are the components that makes your vehicle stop. They’re also one of the components that when they wear out over time can be a major safety risk. This is because we all know what it means if you can’t stop when you need to. The reason that they wear out is due to the fact that they use friction to help you stop.  Sadly, all that friction eventually takes a toll on your brakes and over time is shows. Brake pads are made up of materials engineered to slow your vehicle without destroying the brake pad and brake disc each time contact is made. Brake pads used to be made of asbestos. Several years ago asbestos was discovered to be a carcinogen and associated with causing certain cancers and eventually fazed out of production. Over the years auto manufacturers have engineered several materials for making brake pads. These are organic, semi-metallic and ceramic.

Organic –  Organic brake pads made from materials like rubber, glass, and Kevlar too their place. They are softer than other brake pads, which makes for a quieter function. Thus they wear more sooner and create more dust and debris as they wear down. Moreover because these pads are softer, they don’t offer as much stopping power. Organic pads are generally suited for light cars that don’t see heavy use.

Semi-Metallic – Semi-metallic pads, sometimes referred to as metallic pads, are much more sturdy. As per they’re named they are made from metal, such as iron shavings or bits of steel wire held together with graphite. Metal usually makes up about 30 to 65 percent of the brake pad, thus the name “semi-metallic”. Because metallic brake rotors are hard, they provide good stopping power, but they put more wear on brake rotors / discs. The hard pads also noisier than organic pads.

One of the cons are metallic brake pads need to warm up before they work at their best. In very cold weather, they can take longer to get their maximum efficiency, so caution is always advised until your vehicle is fully warmed up. Metallic pads are a good product at a reasonable price, and provide good stopping power under normal driving conditions.

Ceramic – Ceramic brake pads are even more durable. They are made of ceramic materials, sometimes with small amounts of copper. The ceramics dissipate heat well, which keeps them from wearing. That can mean that the rotors take on more heat though, which can lead to rotor warping. Ceramic pads are also more expensive. Ceramic pads are also lighter, which, paired with their heat resistance, makes them well suited to motorsport or aggressive driving. They also produce the least brake dust of any type of brake pads, and less noise than semi-metallic pads.

How often should you have your brakes checked

There are a few ways to tell if you need brake service. Some vehicle’s have brake-pad sensors that let the driver when the brakes should be checked via a warning light on the dash or a message showing when you start your vehicle. Some brake systems have a metal scraper attached to the pads that creates a warning alarm by squealing or screeching when they wear to a certain level. Even though the sound is very disconcerting and annoying it’s usually harmless, unless ignored. If the noise is less of a screech and more of a grumbling, grinding sound, the pads at one or all of the wheels may be completely worn, and continued use of your vehicle can cause serious damage to the rotor(s). If you hear grinding when slowing down you should contact Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower ASAP. You should never wait to replace the brake pads for weeks or months after the first warning signs, considering functional brakes are a top priority. From a safety standpoint, they are more important than the engine. Due to the fact, a poorly maintained engine could result in engine failure. But poorly maintained brakes can be life-threatening.

To be sure that your vehicle is always able to make the safest stops, we recommend changing the brakes before they exhibit the irregularities mentioned above. Your vehicle’s owner’s manual should have recommendations for inspecting the pads at every oil change because the life of brake-pad can vary greatly, depending on your driving style, whether and driving conditions. Brake pads should always be replaced when they reach their service limit, which is usually measured at about 0.1 inch.

If your vehicle is showing any of the above signs or you believe your vehicle’s needs new brake or are not sure and would like to have your brakes inspected, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871.  Always keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Check Engine Light & Diagnostics

Drivers in Bellflower know that sinking felling you get when your cruising down Alondra Blvd. when you suddenly notice the feared “Check Engine” Light showing on your dash. And like most drivers, you’re not really sure what that light means, besides the fact that it may cost money. Many experts call it the one of the most misunderstood indicators on your dashboard. Because it can mean a variety of issues, from a loose gas cap, your car isn’t getting the best fuel economy, your vehicle is emitting higher levels of pollutants or worst case scenario, a serious issues with your engine.

Moreover, when you see the warning light it doesn’t mean you have to pull over immediately and call a tow truck. Although, it does mean if your in the area you should contact Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower and have it checked at your next opportunity. Ignoring any warning from your vehicle may end up damaging some expensive components.

What is The “Check Engine” Light

The “check engine” light is a part of your vehicle’s onboard diagnostics AKA the (OBD) system. Since the ’80s, computers increasingly have controlled and monitored your vehicle performance. Such as regulating variables like engine speed (RPM), ignition timing, fuel mixture and in some cars, the computer tells automatic transmissions when it’s the best time to shift.

When the OBD finds a problem in the electronic-control system that it can’t correct, the computer turns on a yellow warning indicator that’s labeled “check engine,” “service engine soon” or “check powertrain.” Or the light may be nothing more than a picture of an engine, known as the International : “Check Engine” Symbol. In addition to turning on the light, the computer will store a trouble code in its memory to help identify the source of the problem. This may be a malfunctioning sensor or a misfiring engine. If you bring your vehicle in to Orozco’s Auto Service we have all the latest equipment to read the code with an electronic scan tool or a diagnostic computer.

Here’s some tips on what to do If your check engine light comes on:

Start by checking your dashboard gauges and lights for any signs of of low oil pressure or overheating. These conditions mean you should pull over and shut off the engine as soon as you can find a safe place to do so. Some vehicle’s, a yellow “check engine” means investigate the problem, while a red “check engine” can mean stop as soon as it’s safe to pull over. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the specific meaning for your warning lights.

After checking all your gages one of the most simple steps is try tightening your gas cap. This usually solves the problem. Keep in mind that it may take several trips before the light resets. If the light continues to stay on feel free to visit Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower and we can reset it for you. Newer vehicle may have a separate indicator that warns of a loose gas cap before the condition sets off the “check engine” light.

If your vehicle is showing a “check engine” light or are not sure and would like to have your vehicle diagnosed, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Headlight Repair

Headlight Repair has gone a long way over the past few decades. Headlight technology has come a long way. Headlights, also sometimes referred to as headlamps, and come in a variety of types from classic sealed beams to modern halogen lights, xenon and even LED bulbs.

A good set of headlights can help you out in hazardous weather. With a wide but focused beam of light that could save you and or the life of your passengers from night time road hazards or wayward oncoming traffic with limited visibility. Most older vehicles had to settle for dull and discolored headlights, now we can choose from the brightest white light or a 7-color RGB DRL Bar headlight that mounts on the top of your off-road vehicle, virtually erasing the darkness.

Today’s vehicles use standard or halogen bulbs, which are much brighter. HID lights use a high-intensity discharge to create white light for much safer driving conditions at night. You can also upgrade to LED bulbs. They cost more, but their powerful brightness makes driving at night safer and more comfortable.

Finding replacement headlight bulbs is crucial to a safe ride and heightened visibility. Unfortunately, not all headlights are the same so always consult with your owners manual for the specific lamp you may need. Do you need a whole replacement headlight assembly or do you have an H4 conversion and only need to find a headlight compatible with your housing. Replacing some bulbs requires dismantling parts under the hood. Sometimes an electric relay burns out and prevents electrical power from reaching the headlights. If this seems a bit overwhelming visit Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower our ASE certified technicians have the tools and the knowledge to install the right light the first time.

Acrylic headlights lenses
When exposed to UV light acrylic headlights will oxidize . This is because headlight lenses are manufactured with a clear top coat to help prevent the oxidization, but eventually, that coating will wear off. In time direct sunlight turns the hard plastic yellow. Visit Orozco’s Auto Service and our ASE certified technicians can make them look new again with special cleaners and polishes, and a hard protective finish. It’s much less expensive than having the lenses replaced.

Below is a list of a variety of available headlights products

HID HEADLIGHTS (XENON HEADLIGHTS) – High-intensity headlights give the most visibility to the driver. After filling a glass tube with Xenon gas, an arc of electric current is run through the bulb to produce incredibly hot plasma-filled white-blue lights.

PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS – Once only found in European performance cars, but today they are common.

H4 CONVERSIONS – The most accessible aftermarket upgrade the average driver can make to their driving lights.

HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS – Combine two gasses to create a more efficient lighting environment than old-school filament bulbs.

REFLECTOR HEADLIGHTS – These are the oldest of the bunch and were often considered dull stock headlights.

LED HEADLIGHTS – Activate with a speed that almost makes them almost automatic headlights. small and compact, but unfortunately get very hot and need expensive components to make them fully efficient.

Even though your headlights are the most prominent lights on your vehicle there’s many other important lights. Brake lights, back-up lights, turn-signal lights, license-plate lights, fog lights, and more. With so many lights regular inspections should always be a regular part of your vehicles maintenance schedule. Additionally, Highway Safety Codes designate headlights and other automotive lights as part of your vehicle’s safety equipment. So, you can avoid a fine by ensuring that all your lights are working properly.

Bellflower Wheel Balancing

Imagine you’re driving some errands in Bellflower and suddenly you notice a vibration in the steering wheel, your seat or coming from the floorboard and it seems to get be getting worse the more your accelerate. These could all be a signs that your wheels are out of balanced. Also a sign that you may notice is your tires are starting to show uneven wear or you’re getting worse mileage.

Not to worry, imbalanced wheels can be balanced in one visit while you wait, especially when you visit the pros at Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower. Our certified ASE mechanics are trained to work on all types of vehicles, no matter the make and model. When you get your tires balanced at Orozco’s, our mechanic will run a series of tests to see what needs to be done to get your tires up to code. This testing includes the use of weights, which are determined by the type of your vehicle and wheel system. Once the balancing is completed you’ll be back on the road in no time enjoying a stress free ride.

Some other common factors that may bring your wheels out of balance are as follows. The age of your tires, also taking a hard turn or rough roads causing the weights to fall off the wheels and finally replacing one or more tires without getting them balanced.

If you’re noticing any of the previously mentioned issues don’t ignore them. Even thought balancing wheels is a common repair when you know what you’re doing, imbalanced wheels directly impact the condition of your tires. Moreover, with all that vibration, driving on worn tires can lead to damage in other parts of your vehicle. This includes the CV driveshaft, axles, boots, and wheel bearings to name a few.

How Often Should You Get Your Wheels Balanced?
Rotating your tires should always be a part of your vehicle’s regular maintenance and with that, tire balancing should be part of the rotation process. You should have your tires rotated around every 5,000 miles. You may also want to get a wheel balanced when you get a flat and repair the tire, when you get an alignment or when you replace one or more tires. If working on a time schedule we suggest at a minimum of every two years, and once a year if you regularly drive rough roads.

If you don’t drive your vehicle very often and think it isn’t necessary to get your wheels balanced, just remember a car that stays parked for long periods may need to have the tires checked more often. Tires can lose pressure when they aren’t driven and they can also experience dry rot in our hot Bellflower summers.

Some benefits of balancing your wheels regularly will help the life expectancy of your tires of about four to five years on a vehicle that is driven between 12,000 to 15,000 miles a year. Also along with your tires lasting longer, you can improve the life of all the vehicle’s parts connected to the tires and their operation. Lastly don’t forget the improved smooth ride driving experience.

If your vehicle is showing any of the above signs or you believe your vehicle’s wheels are out of balance or are not sure and would like to have your wheels inspected, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Remember to always keep your vehicle in good condition to ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Automotive Power Seat Repair

Power Seat Repair – When you’re cruising down Alondra Blvd. in you vehicle, you want to look good and be comfortable – and in today’s high tech vehicles that comfort comes in the shape of a luxury power seat.  Today’s vehicles are equipped with elaborate power seats that do a lot more than keeping your feet on the peddles. They automatically move in a many directions satisfying drivers every ergonomics need, including a seat warmer. So lets take a look at some of the mechanics of those fancy seats. When you press the power seat controls the power seat triggers motors which then moves your seat forward, backwards, adjusts lumbar support and heated seats just to name a few of the many comfort options. Including allowing you to find the optimal placement of your seat, so that the peddles are the right where you need them.

Now for the bad news. With all those electronic options, power seats and their controls have a greater chance of failing than the older manual controlled seats. When that power seat switch fails, the seats can’t move, and you won’t be able to control the placement of your seat. While this may not be a serious problem – you may not be able to see well or operate your vehicle if you can’t reach the peddles rendering your vehicle undrivable. Power seat switches are usually located on the seat or door panel. Those switches send power to the seat motors, allowing you to move your seat in several directions. If the switch malfunctions, then the seat may no longer move, or its movement may be limited. Also,  it’s common for debris to get stuck in the tracks, preventing the seat from moving. However, if cleaning the debris doesn’t resolve the problem, your seat or switches may need to be repaired or replaced. If the switches are working and there is no debris, but your seat still does not move, you may have a malfunctioning power seat motor or a short in one of the wires going to the switch or motor. Something that only an ASE certified technician can handle, just like the technicians employed at Orozco’s Auto Service of Fullerton!

The majority of the time to repair power seats, they must first be removed, then the motors, and then the switches and wiring need to be inspected. Once the source of the problem is found, it must be repaired or replaced, then everything must be reassembled & thoroughly tested.

If your vehicle’s power seat is malfunctioning or moving unusually slowly, or If you have questions regarding Power Seat Repair contact Orozco’s Auto Service of Fullerton today at 562-920-1871. Keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Rear Differential Repair

If your differential isn’t working properly, there are several signs you may notice before it completely fails. Tire damage on the sidewall or outer tread of a tire, your car may becomes difficult to handle and doesn’t easily steer around corners well, the sound of grinding gears or a whining noise are also indicators that you should have your differential checked. Luckily, Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower has the know how to repair or replace this critical component of your vehicle. Our ASE certified technicians can repair your differential or transaxle in no time and back up that repair with a NAPA nationwide 2 year, 24,000 mile warrant.

But what is a rear differential? Well. many Bellflower drivers aren’t aware of their vehicles differential until something goes seriously wrong. Not to worry, Orozco’s Auto Service would like to share some helpful information regarding your vehicle’s differential. Years ago before front wheel drive came along, the majority of vehicles had a rear differential with a few exceptions such as Corvairs and Volkswagens. Four wheel drive and all wheel drive vehicles also have different types of differentials. Nowadays and as before every vehicle has a some type of differential or transaxle, whether you have a rear one or not depends on the drive system. So what is a differential and how does it impact my vehicle?

If your vehicle has front-wheel drive, then it uses a front differential that is next to the transmission in a unit called the transaxle. A vehicle with rear-wheel drive has a rear differential that sits between the rear wheels and connects to the transmission through the drive shaft. Both front and rear differentials do the same thing, which is ensuring the your wheels move smoothly when you move around corners— just from different locations. But why does it smooth out your turns you ask? Simply put, a differential is a system that transmits your engine’s torque to the wheels. The differential takes the power from the engine and divides it, allowing the wheels to spin at different speeds when needed. Think of it as a marching band moving around a corner. The people on the outside of the turn take longer strides than the people on the inside to keep everyone in a perfect line. A differential acts in the same way for a car. It compensates for how the inner wheels don’t have to travel as far to get around a corner as the outer wheels.

As previously mentioned, four wheel drive vehicles have two differentials making things a bit different on these all terrane vehicles. Additionally all-wheel-drive vehicle has a third type of differential called a center differential. It helps distribute power between the front and rear axles since both do the job of steering your car. With four-wheel drive, there is a front and rear differential that’s called a transfer case located in the middle to manage and deliver power to all four wheels. These systems have the same goal as the others: ensuring smooth turns keeping the wheels from skipping or jumping.

If you’ve notice any of the previously mentioned signs of a failing differential, or If you would like to have your vehicle inspected, contact Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Fuel Pump Repair

Fuel pump repair can be a real challenge due to the fact that in most vehicles it’s located inside the gas tank. The good news is that Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower is just around the corner and ready to help you out with any of your fuel injection issues, including sharing this valuable information. Your vehicle’s fuel pump is the heartbeat of your vehicle’s fuel system. Like your heart pumping blood throughout your body, the fuel pump sends precious fuel through your vehicle and if it stops so will your engine. Luckily, a faulty fuel pump isn’t very common in newer vehicles but when you get a few years worth of miles on your odometer things start to wear out.

As previously mentioned, most fuel pumps are located inside the gas tank and attaches to a float and electrical connections that relay information to your vehicle’s fuel gage. It sucks up the fuel and sends it through lines to your engine’s injectors, which meter out the proper amount of fuel for the most efficient combustion in your engine. Today’s fuel pumps meet manufacturer specifications for fuel volume. If it doesn’t meet up to these strict standards, you will run into all sorts of problems.

If your fuel pump is starting to wear out there are a few common signs you’ll notice before getting stranded. Some of the more obvious signs are your vehicle can suddenly feels sluggish or a faulty ignition, engine misfires, lowered gas mileage, weak acceleration and a whining noise can all mean you may want to visit Orozco’s Auto Service.

Other issues may be low fuel pressure, you may have trouble starting your vehicle. It may crank longer than normal before firing up, or you might have to cycle the ignition on and off a few times to prime the necessary pressure. Once it starts, you might get a rough idle or stuttering while driving up hills or upon acceleration. On some occasions it may misfires or even just stall out and die completely.

Another sign may be that your engine temperature is higher than usual, as it struggles to keep up with uneven fuel supply. Occasionally, a failing pump will cause an engine to surge, because it’s no longer capable of consistent volume. You might hear the fuel pump itself struggling, which sounds like a whining or loud buzzing noise coming from your gas tank. Lastly, you may notice at the gas station when filling your tank: a failing fuel pump can reduce engine efficiency, which means your decrease mileage, something nobody wants these days.

Note that most of the above symptoms on their own might have other causes, but if you see one or more together, then it’s time to contact Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower for a conclusive diagnosis today at 562-920-1871 or stop by. Remember to always keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Replace Spark Plugs in Bellflower

Not a lot of Bellflower drivers are aware of the importance’s of their spark plugs. They are the spark that enables your vehicle to run and when they begin to go bad, it can affect your entire vehicle. If your vehicle is feeling a bit sluggish or your mileage isn’t what it used to be and then you remember in the morning when you started your vehicle it took a few attempts. Sorry to say but these are all signs that it may be time for new spark plugs and if ignored for to long you may not be able to start your vehicle. At Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower our certified ASE mechanics are more than qualified to determine if these problems are indeed worn out spark plugs.

What exactly is a spark plug you ask? Simple put- it’s an insulator and a central conductor. Spark plugs are specified by size, specifically by nut or thread — sealing type and spark gap. The majority of today’s vehicles have a 14-mm thread; older vehicles had used 18-mm or 7/8-inch (approximately 22-mm) ones. Thread length varies as well, depending on the vehicle manufacturer and type of engine. The sealing type or seat is where the plug mates to the head. It can be flat or tapered again, depending on the manufacturer and engine type. Additionally, the amount of torque applied during installation ensures a secure fit. Typically, there is one plug for each cylinder, but there are exceptions. For example, the V8 Hemi engines used in various Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler products have 16 plugs, two per cylinder.

These days, spark plugs last much longer than vehicles of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, with some lasting up to 100,000 miles. Back in the day most vehicles required a tune-up once a year to replace spark plugs and adjust points. Even with today’s high-tech spark plugs still wear out, and if you’re finding it difficult to start your vehicle, it could mean that your spark plugs have met the end of their life. Visual clues may also reveal a bad spark plug. If you remove the plug from the cylinder and notice that the end has burned or sandy-looking deposits have accumulated on the outer electrode, then it’s time to replace it. In a worst-case scenario, a wet accumulation of oil on the electrode may indicate not only that the spark plug is bad but also that there’s significant engine problem.

Other troubling issues you may notice are a rough idle, engine misfire or surge, weak acceleration or a spike in fuel consumption. In some vehicles the “check engine” light may come on. If your “check engine” light comes on feel free to visit Orozco’s Auto Service to get your vehicle’s check engine light diagnosed.

Changing spark plugs is a key part of keeping your engine in good working order. Be sure to get yours replaced at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals to ensure peak engine performance. You can find this information in your vehicles user manual. If you feel your vehicle may need new spark plugs or would like to have your vehicle diagnosed contact Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Remember to always keep your vehicle in good running condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Hybrid Repair

With today’s rising gas prices and so much emphasis on living green we often get asked if they get a hybrid or electric vehicle do they still need maintenance. And if so do I need to find a specific auto shop for those types of vehicles. Sorry to say but yes all vehicles electric and hybrid still need to be maintained. With that being said hybrids and electrics do have some maintenance advantages. These are critical tasks that should always be addressed on all vehicles. Some of the more common services can be brakes, suspension, tires along with all those fancy bells and whistles on todays new vehicles. Not to mention the hybrids still have complete combustion engine. And to the second question, At Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower we love all types of vehicles and our Certified ASE technicians are qualified to work on combustion, hybrid and electric. Additionally, our technicians are required to maintain continued education for anything new that comes along as part of their ASE certification.

While all vehicles do need maintenance you be happy to know hybrids and electric vehicles don’t require any type of special maintenance. Additionally, hybrid systems can reduce normal wear and tear on some conventional parts of the vehicle. When the electric motor takes over, the gas engine shuts down. Resulting in having far fewer miles than what’s showing on the odometer. Some manufacturer even suggest going long between oil changes. We always recommend following your auto’s manual for factory recommendations for any service.

Brakes are a component that always needs to be maintained on hybrids but at longer intervals. Hybrid vehicles use regenerative braking that re-directs the friction involved in stopping the to replenish the battery. That energy would otherwise be heat on your brakes and pads. So brake jobs will be fewer and farther between in a hybrid. You aren’t completely off the hook though, as you will still need windshield wipers, tires, light bulbs, and cabin air filters. Not to mention the additional battery weight can sped of the wear on your tires.

Hybrid-specific parts are covered by a warranty of at least eight years and 100,000 miles. Some states, including California, have mandated hybrid warranties of ten years and 150,000 miles, which includes the battery pack. As more hybrids have taken to the road, these packs have become less expensive. And there are stories of many hybrids still on the road with their original battery packs at 200,000 miles or more.

With no gasoline engine at all, electric vehicles eliminate oil and filter changes, tune-ups, exhaust system maintenance, emissions tests, timing belt replacements and engine repairs. Yes, there is an electric motor, but that motor has few moving parts and requires little in the way of maintenance. And, like the hybrids we mentioned above, electrics use regenerative braking, which converts the friction into energy to replenish the battery instead of letting it become heat on your brakes and brake pads. Similar to the hybrid cars, electrics will require fewer, less frequent brake jobs which is always a plus.

If you’re considering getting a hybrid one thing to factor in is the cost difference low enough to be offset by the savings in gasoline and maintenance? For electrics, you need to consider range. Can the car get you through a typical day without needing a recharge? Is there a charging station at work? Are you willing to pay to have one installed at home if that’s an option? And lastly there’s always that great feeling you’ll have knowing you are doing your part to help save the world.

Regardless of your decision Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower will always be here to help maintain, service or repair any vehicle. If you would like more information about hybrid or electric vehicles feel free to call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Head Gasket Repair

Most Drivers in Bellflower aren’t aware that head gasket repair can be a complicated task due to the complexity of today’s high tech vehicles. In fact most driver’s don’t even know what a head gasket is until it needs to be repaired. Luckily, Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower knows everything about them and here’s some helpful info. If you keep having to topping off your coolant, or there’s a blue or white smoke coming from your exhaust or when you top off your oil you notice a frothy white substance under the cap then you may have an issue with your head gasket. If a blown head gasket is the problem it’s not exactly the easiest of repairs. More than likely your vehicle could be in the shop for a few days.

Some of the more common signs that you may notice when there’s a blown head gasket areas follows:

Misfire on startup, accompanied by a puff of white exhaust

An external oil or coolant leak at the seam between the engine block and cylinder head

Blue exhaust smoke could be another indicator

Cylinder misfires are another sign of head gasket failure

Overheating is one of the less-obvious signs of a blown head gasket

Oil-contaminated coolant can form a mayonnaise-like film, which you might find on the radiator cap or in the overflow reservoir

When checking your oil the dipstick can have a dirty frothy consistency

Here’s some valuable information about your head gasket.

Engines are designed to keep  cool, they are filled with liquids and gases mixing so they can perform their specific functions. And the head gasket is designed just for that task. It’s mounted between the engine block and the cylinder head. This is where the intake, exhaust and valves are also located. The head gasket is a thin seal that prevents liquids and gases from escaping into adjacent cylinders and the surrounding oil and coolant galleries. As previously mentioned the two elements this is designed to keep separate are coolant and engine oil. Just like that old saying oil and water don’t mix! At Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower we have the expertise to keep that oil and coolant separate and to repair that head gasket no matter what you drive.

Engine coolant surrounds each cylinder in order to maintain a stable operating temperature; it also needs to flow into the cylinder heads to cool the combustion chamber, valve and spark plugs. The engine oil performs three important functions: lubrication, cooling and hydraulics. The oil pump sends pressurized oil throughout the engine to lubricate bearings, bushings, journals and timing chains. It also drives hydraulic actuators, such as variable valve timing. As we mentioned before, it’s a complicated repair.

If any of these signs are ignored it can lead to complete engine failure. The engine can over heat resulting in a seized engine, a warped or cracked head or even a blown piston rings, meaning you would need a complete rebuild for your engine. If you are worried you may have a blown or leaking head gasket Orozco’s Auto Service is your answer. Our ASE certified auto technicians have been trained to repair all types of engines and we will always back up those repair with our 24/24 nationwide guarantee. Visit or contacts us for more info at 562-920-1871. Keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Muffler Repair

Image driving down Alondra Boulevard when all of a sudden your vehicle sounds like an erupting volcano. To most people they will know it’s time for a new muffler but they don’t know is how important an exhaust system is for your entire vehicle. The exhaust system, which your muffler is part of also directs exhaust fumes away from you and your passengers, it improves engines performance, it improves fuel consumption and lastly your catalytic converter that is part of your exhaust system helps to keep pollutants from escaping into our air. Imagine all that and it also continues to deliver a peaceful ride.

So just in case your muffler goes out Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower would like to share some information about your exhaust system’s components from your engine to the tailpipe. The beginning of your engines exhaust journey starts with the exhaust manifold (sometimes referred to as headers) to remove combustion gases from the cylinders. The manifold is linked to a catalytic converter that cleans up the chemical mixture before sending it down the line to a resonator and the muffler, both of which help mute the sound produced when the gases roar through your vehicle’s metal pipes.

With this extensive collection of components there’s are several possibilities for an exhaust leak and they are as loud as the traditional broken muffler sound. Each of the exhaust system parts listed above are connected through welds and flanges, and with time and corrosion, these connections can start to loosen. One of the initial signs that exhaust gases are escaping prematurely is a ticking that gets louder or faster when you hit the gas. A ticking sound can also indicate a crack in an exhaust manifold or a hole in any part of the exhaust system. Depending on how serious the leak is, it can often be repaired with a patch or a fresh weld with the experts at Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower.

Luckily, mufflers don’t just stop working overnight without first giving you a few clues that you may have an exhaust problem. Mufflers will usually last from 40,000 to 80,000 miles depending on the weather conditions in your area. Excessive water and salt on the the roads for snow can speed up the degradation which will in turn get incrementally louder as the interior chambers and sound-deadening materials break down. It’s not always easy to detect initially, but eventually you’ll notice that your vehicle is getting significantly louder. This generally means either there’s a large break in the exhaust system or your muffler that’s on its way out. Either way, this is a great time to Visit Orozco’s Auto Service and have it checked out.

If your vehicle is getting louder in the exhaust or you hear any new ticking sounds or are not sure and would like to have your exhaust system inspected, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Remember to always keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Parking Brake Repair | Emergency Brake Repair

Not that everyone in Bellflower forgets to disengage your emergency brake before starting to drive off, but it does happen. After that it seems like it never has the same strength after that. Even though today’s vehicles are always continuing to improve luxury, function and accessories you may still have some questions about your emergency and or parking brake. First, why do some vehicles have a parking brake, and some have an emergency brake and now more vehicles are coming with an electronic brake? Also does Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower repair or inspect them when I go in for service? Lastly why does my emergency / parking brake seem less effective over time?

Depending on your vehicle’s manufacturer the emergency brake and parking brake are essentially the same thing. This component of your vehicle has to perform two distinct tasks. It needs to be able to hold the vehicle on an incline, and be able to stop your vehicle within a specific distance if the hydraulic brakes fail. Second, absolutely, Orozco’s Auto Service will inspect and suggest any repairs necessary to ensure your vehicle is safe to drive when you stop in for any service.

Whether it’s an older vehicle or new one, all vehicles have at least two brake systems. The “service brake” is your main braking system, the one that activates when you engage the brake pedal. A booster called the “brake cylinder” amplifies the force, sending hydraulic pressure to the brakes at each wheel. The secondary brake system the parking / emergency brake is independent of the hydraulic brake system, controlled by by levers or cables.

Over time or when you forget to disengage the e-brake as it’s also sometimes referred to, the secondary brake system’s cables can become stretched out, which creates slack that increases the lever or pedal to completely secure your vehicle. If all the adjustments are maxed out, the cable needs to be replaced. This isn’t something just any weekend car repair warrior should perform on their own. Brakes are an important element of your vehicle’s safety system and should only be worked on by a certified ASE mechanic, like the ones at Orozco’s Auto Service.

Lastly, a growing number of vehicles are equipped with an electronic parking brake that automatically engages the parking brake when the transmission is shifted into park or a lever or button is pressed. This system is very efficient because it can reduce the length of the cable or eliminate cable all together. Some systems even have a built in program that self adjusts slack in the system that runs at regular intervals.

If you believe your vehicle’s parking brake or brake system needs service or are not sure and would like to have your brakes inspected, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Remember to always keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Power Steering Repair

Have you ever started making a turn onto Alondra Boulevard in Bellflower and thought what would happen if I lost power steering right now? Of course this is a rare scenario, but if it does happen, first of all, don’t panic. Your vehicle’s power steering provides you with an electronic or hydraulic assist in turning your front wheels. If you’re moving at a decent speed you may not even notice it, until you start to slow down. At that point turning the steering wheel is difficult but with a little strength you will be able to pull over and make it to a safe place to stop or visit your friends at Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower.

Besides not panicking another simple but important thing to do is communication. As in any emergency situation on or off the road is it’s vital to let others around you know that something has gone wrong. The quickest way to do this is to activate your hazard lights so that everyone around you will notice that you are starting to slow down or that there may be an issue with your vehicle.  It’s always a good idea to locate were the hazard lights button is located when driving in a new vehicle.

As you gently lower your speed, keep a firm grip on the wheel at all times and don’t hit your brakes too hard, especially if the road conditions are icy or wet. The lack of power steering will make the steering wheel feel heavy in your hands, and it will also make the front wheels less responsive to your actions. Maintain keeping calm and ease into the brakes slowly.

The next thing you should do if you lose power steering is to look for a safe spot on the side of the road where you can pull over without incident. You will still be able to steer the vehicle, even if it’s more difficult. Remember that turning the wheel requires more effort as your vehicle slows. Give yourself as much room to turn as possible. Even though the turning radius of the vehicle hasn’t changed, your ability to make that turn quickly will be reduced.

Once you get your vehicle to a safe spot, if the power steering is completely out, this may be the right time to call for a tow truck or Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower to help you arrange a tow. Driving a vehicle with no power steering can be a challenge for even the best of drivers, so if you don’t feel safe driving, always side with caution and get help.

There Are Two Kinds of Power Steering

The Hydraulic Power Steering System relies on a hydraulic pump, the engine’s power, and the hydraulic fluid to steer the vehicle. With the combination of the hydraulic pump and the vehicle’s engine, it applies force on the steering gear by pumping hydraulic fluid to the power steering pump. The power steering fluid is stored in a depressurized form within the power steering reservoir, and only when needed does the power steering pump pressurize the fluid and deliver it to assist you in steering.

Electrical Power Steering relies on a electrical motor and sensors on the steering column.

Bellflower Engine Repair And More

Imagine driving down Alondra Boulevard and your vehicle is starts making a new noise,  or there’s a different type of smoke coming from the tail pipe or a few drops of oil on the driveway. These are all scenarios of minor problems with your vehicle and it’s always bad timing when one of these little repair shows up. There’s always so many other costs going on in life and you’re never ready to have to spend that hard earned money on your vehicle. Even our Bellflower weekend DIY mechanics sometimes put off these repairs because it’s a dirty job or can eat up an entire day off. But if not addressed these types of minor issues may stop you from maintaining your regular driving routine, and if ignored for too long you may need a tow truck. Here are few repairs you should definitely not put off for too long before they become a costly repair.

FLUID LEAKS
If you have been regularly topping off your oil for too long rather than finding the leak, it is time to schedule an appointment with Orozco’s Auto Service. We all know small fluid drip may be an annoyance on your driveway, it can also coat your engine and damage other sensitive components. Delaying that power steering pump leak repair will sure seem silly when it floods into the alternator and your vehicle doesn’t start Monday morning. So do yourself and your driveway a favor and call the pros at Orozco’s Auto Service.

WORN SHOCKS / STRUTS
Worn out shocks and struts don’t show to many signs they are wearing out. It’s not like they go bad overnight, but when they are at the end of their service life they may as well not be there at all. Shocks and struts take a lot of abuse like pot holes and speed bumps and that would normally be transmitted to other chassis components. Without that initial protection, those chassis parts wear out quick. Shocks are usually fairly straightforward to replace, and strut replacement has become easier thanks to the availability of modular strut assemblies. Thankfully, if you don’t have the time or resources Orozco’s Auto Service does. And once the job is done, the difference will be immediately apparent to you and your vehicle.

EXHAUST LEAKS
While the noise from an exhaust leak can sometimes be fixed by turning up the radio, an exhaust leak can also lead to dangerous carbon monoxide fumes finding their way into the passenger compartment. In extreme cases a leak can also burn or melt nearby components. Unfortunately they can also be hard to track down, especially when buried in the engine compartment. Cast iron manifolds can crack, bolts can break, gaskets can fail, and exhaust pipes can rust through. The straight forward repair is to let Orozco’s Auto Service replace the offending part.

FAILING CV AXLES
You must remember being warned your CV boots are torn, but there’s no way to know just when the joint inside will start to fail. If you’re hearing a clicking and popping when turning left or right, then it’s time for new axles. Waiting too long could lead to dangerous driveline vibrations and possibly even failure of the axle assembly itself. Make the time and contact Orozco’s Auto Service.

If your vehicle is showing any of the above signs or are not sure and would like to have your vehicle diagnosed, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Remember to always keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

When considering various forms of auto maintenance such as tune-ups, alignments, brake jobs, or oil changes, Bellflower drivers should be aware of the importance of their constant velocity (CV) boot. The CV boot is a small rubber encasement that covers the CV joint and keeps grease inside. If the boot is damaged, it can expose the CV joint and cause it to fail over time. The CV joint helps keep the axle from breaking when an individual hits a bump and also keeps the wheels aligned and turning. There are two of them on an axle: one at the transmission and one at the wheel. As the vehicle moves over the road, the joint must be well-lubricated to allow for the variety of necessary movements and angles.

Due to the fact that CV boots are susceptible to damage from road debris or age, they should be regularly inspected. At Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower, certified ASE technicians inspect the CV boots every time an individual comes in for service. If the boots are damaged and not replaced, grease will leak out and contaminants such as water and damaging particles will enter the joint. This will cause rust to form, eventually leading to a critical failure and rendering the car undriveable. Warning signs of a broken CV joint include grease splatter on the inside of the wheel, visible damage, or vibration while driving. If a serious vibration or clicking or popping noise is heard when turning, the entire CV axle should be replaced along with new CV boots.

If you are concerned about your CV Boots or you would like to have them inspected call or visit Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Remember to always keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Catalytic Converter Repair

Catalytic converters are an important component in a vehicle’s exhaust system and are commonly found in modern vehicles. Their purpose is to convert unburned particles in exhaust gases into water vapor and CO2 using a catalyst, usually made of platinum, rhodium, or palladium, making it a valuable target for theft.

Replacing a catalytic converter is a complicated task that requires welding and is best left to professionals like Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower. It may also include replacing the vehicle’s oxygen sensors. The main cause of a faulty catalytic converter is short trips that don’t allow the exhaust to heat up enough to burn off deposits. To avoid this, it’s recommended to take the vehicle on a 15-minute highway drive occasionally.

Signs of a failing catalytic converter include a check engine light, decreased power and fuel efficiency, a rotten egg odor, backfiring or misfiring, and a rough engine. If the converter is not working properly, the check engine light will turn on and the engine’s power and fuel economy will decrease. If the converter becomes completely clogged, the check engine light will flash and the engine may stall or not start. Excessive clogging can also cause internal engine damage from back pressure. A vehicle with a faulty catalytic converter will fail a smog check and cannot be registered.

At Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower, we suggest addressing any catalytic converter issues promptly to avoid costly repairs and engine damage. Regular maintenance, including highway drives, can extend the lifespan of the converter and save money in the long run. If you are worried your catalytic converter Orozco’s Auto Service is your answer. Our ASE certified auto technicians have been trained to repair all types of exhaust systems and we will always back up those repair with our 24/24 nationwide guarantee.

Bellflower U-Joint Repair

The driveshaft is a crucial component in rear wheel drive vehicles that ensures the proper rotation of the tires. It acts as a link between the transmission and the rear tires, transmitting the engine’s power to the tires. The driveshaft is supported by U-joints, which are spherical bearings that offer flexibility and enable the driveshaft to operate smoothly.

However, if the U-joints aren’t lubricated properly, they can deteriorate over time and cause several issues. This may include a rough ride, clanging or banging sounds during gear changes, and noticeable vibrations in the seat or throughout the car. The U-joints are vital for supporting the driveshaft, which is subjected to substantial amounts of force. If the U-joints fail, the driveshaft will not be properly supported, leading to increased vibration and wear.

To prevent these problems, it is imperative to keep the U-joints lubricated. Some of the signs that indicate it’s time to replace the U-joints include noticeable vibrations, strange noises from under the vehicle, and the presence of red or pink fluid (transmission fluid) on the ground. In such cases, it’s recommended to seek the help of a certified ASE service advisor at Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower for an inspection and replacement, if necessary.

In conclusion, the driveshaft and U-joints are crucial components in rear wheel drive vehicles that ensure smooth tire rotation. Proper lubrication of the U-joints is vital to prevent problems such as vibrations and wear. If you experience any symptoms that indicate it may be time to replace the U-joints, it’s advisable to get professional help from a certified ASE service advisor. Contact Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871 to have your u-joints inspected and keep your vehicle in good condition. Drive safely!

Bellflower Oxygen Sensor Repair

The oxygen sensor is a crucial part of a vehicle’s exhaust system that many drivers in Bellflower may not fully appreciate. This sensor has a direct impact on emissions and can affect not only the car’s engine but also the environment.

When an oxygen sensor fails, it can activate the “check engine” light and reduce fuel efficiency. Typically the size of a spark plug, this sensor has a lifespan of 35,000 to 50,000 miles.

Most vehicles have at least one oxygen sensor in their exhaust system that measures the difference in oxygen levels between the exhaust gas and the outside air. It then sends a voltage signal to the car’s computer, which adjusts the air-fuel mixture to optimize engine performance.

If the sensor malfunctions, it can lead to an increase in emissions and poor fuel efficiency. The engine may also default to a predetermined air-fuel mixture, resulting in a too-rich or too-lean mixture, causing stuttering or loss of power. This can cause deposits in the engine and damage other components like the catalytic converter, resulting in more significant problems in the future.

However, drivers in Bellflower can take comfort in knowing that Orozco’s Auto Service has the necessary diagnostic tools to detect a faulty oxygen sensor. Their certified ASE technicians can quickly replace the sensor and get drivers back on the road with an engine that functions correctly, optimizing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. By keeping their vehicles well-maintained and ensuring that the oxygen sensor is working properly, drivers can help protect the environment and improve air quality for all.

If your vehicle is showing any of the above signs or you believe your vehicle’s oxygen sensor isn’t working or are not sure and would like to have your vehicle inspected, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Remember to always keep your vehicle in good condition to ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Topping Off Power Steering Fluid

To prevent potential accidents and expensive car damage, it is crucial to understand the consequences of driving with a fluid leak in Bellflower. For example, power steering fluid leaks can cause low fluid levels or fluid on the ground, which can result in accidents if unexpected situations arise and the driver cannot react quickly. Moreover, fluid leaks can damage the vehicle, leading to costly repairs or replacements.

If you suspect that your car has a power steering fluid leak, it may be possible to continue driving it temporarily until a professional auto service can repair the leak and replace the fluid. However, it is important to monitor the leak and follow specific guidelines to prevent further damage. ASE certified mechanics at Orozco’s Auto Service in Bellflower can quickly and affordably fix power steering issues.

It is crucial to address any power steering fluid leak as soon as possible. Even a small leak can worsen over time, and a small crack in a hose can quickly result in a loss of all fluid in a short period. A loss of power steering fluid can significantly impact the drivability of the car, with the power steering rack functioning incorrectly and leading to an increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds.

Driving for extended periods without power steering fluid can cause damage to the pump. A drop in the fluid level causes the pump to run dry, resulting in increased friction and heat that can lead to costly damage. If driving without power steering fluid is necessary, drivers should avoid extreme turns to the left or right and replace the fluid as soon as possible.

Note that most of the above symptoms on their own might have other causes, but if you see one or more together, then it’s time to contact or visit Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower for a conclusive diagnosis today at 562-920-1871. Remember to always keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Wheel Bearings Repair

Bellflower drivers may be unaware of their vehicle’s wheel bearings and the risks of failure, which can lead to costly repairs. Knowing about this important part and its function can help identify when repairs are necessary. Fortunately, Orozco’s Auto Service in Bellflower can provide assistance in understanding wheel bearings, their function, and signs indicating the need for replacement.

Wheel bearings play a vital role in reducing friction and allowing wheels to spin smoothly. They are enclosed in small rings in the wheel hub assembly and come in two common types: ball bearings and roller bearings. Roller bearings are small cylinders located in a cylinder housing and are easily accessible for repairs. However, they are susceptible to contamination from dirt and grime. Ball bearings, on the other hand, are sealed and are therefore protected from dirt and grit. However, if something goes wrong, they cannot be serviced and must be replaced entirely.

Wheel bearings generally last between 75,000 and 100,000 miles, depending on the vehicle and driving conditions. Symptoms of failing wheel bearings include unusual noises like clicking, grinding, or humming, as well as uneven tire wear. Loose steering or vibrations in the steering wheel are also signs of potential issues. Wheel lock is a severe symptom that indicates that the bearings are damaged to the point where they cease to move. A dashboard warning light may also indicate that either the ABS or traction control system is malfunctioning.

If you detect any of these symptoms, it is essential to contact Orozco’s Auto Service in Bellflower and have the bearings replaced. It is usually not feasible to replace a single bearing, and the job typically requires replacing the entire wheel hub assembly. Delaying the replacement of failing wheel bearings could cause additional damage to your vehicle, so prompt replacement is recommended.

Bellflower Fuel Injector Repair

Fuel injector repair is something ever driver should think about.  And in Bellflower, California, it’s important for drivers to understand the importance of maintaining a properly functioning fuel injector. The fuel injector is responsible for electronically injecting the correct amount of gasoline into the engine for optimal combustion. If the injector is not working correctly, it can lead to engine damage over time.

To avoid problems, it’s important to keep your fuel injection system in good condition. Here are some signs that you may need fuel injection repair:

• Knocking sounds and excessive vibration: A partially blocked fuel injector can cause these issues by not allowing enough fuel into the engine cylinder.
• Engine misfire and engine management light: A faulty fuel injector can cause the engine to misfire and trigger the engine management light. Depending on which injector is affected, different management lights may illuminate.
• Starting trouble or inability to start: A leaky injector can cause fuel pressure in the fuel rail to decrease and prevent the engine from starting. If you see unburnt gasoline coming from the engine bay, it could be a sign of a leaky fuel injector.
• Decreased fuel efficiency: A malfunctioning fuel injector can cause the engine control unit to over-fuel and use more fuel than necessary, leading to decreased fuel efficiency.
• Decreased engine torque, acceleration, and power: Even if the injectors are just dirty, a poorly performing fuel injector can affect the engine’s performance.
• Issues with the injector solenoid: The solenoid at the top of the fuel injector generates a magnetic field that opens the injector. If the solenoid is not working correctly, it can cause problems.

Regular maintenance and timely fuel injector repairs are crucial for keeping your engine components in good working order. With proper care, your fuel injector can last the lifetime of the engine.

If your vehicle is showing any of the above signs or you believe your vehicle’s oxygen sensor isn’t working or are not sure and would like to have your vehicle inspected, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Remember to always keep your vehicle in good condition to ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

If you’re experiencing your car pulling to one side when you let go of the steering wheel while driving on the 91 freeway in Bellflower, this could be a sign of concern, particularly on wet roads. To prevent accidents, it is suggested that you bring your car to Orozco’s Auto Service for a wheel alignment.

The alignment of your wheels is crucial since the tires are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road. When your wheels are accurately aligned, your tires will run at the correct angle on the road. It is recommended that you get your vehicle’s alignment examined every 6,000 miles or according to the maintenance schedule provided by the manufacturer. If you notice uneven tire wear, your car drifting to one side, or your steering wheel is not centered when driving straight, it’s advised to get it checked sooner.

At Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower, your car is placed on an alignment rack, raised, and checked for its current alignment status during a wheel alignment service. Adjustments are made to the toe, caster, and camber angles, if applicable, to ensure the wheels have the correct contact with the road. Wheel alignment and tire balancing are not the same, though they are frequently performed together. Balancing is adjusting for minor weight variations around each tire and wheel to ensure that they rotate without excess vibration or wobble.

Bellflower Replace Windshield Wipers

Residents of Bellflower, California may experience occasional rain showers despite the city’s sunny reputation. However, due to the infrequency of precipitation, many drivers neglect to maintain their windshield wipers. This can lead to a dangerous situation when they are caught in a downpour with ineffective wipers, resulting in a blurry view of the road. It is essential to maintain wiper blades regularly, just like checking tire pressure or refueling, to prevent such issues.

At Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower, we check the condition of windshield wipers during every service appointment. We assess the quality of your wipers and recommend replacement if necessary, ensuring that you’re not caught off guard with ineffective wipers during the rain.

Typically, windshield wipers last between six months to a year in Bellflower’s hot summers. Even if your wiper blades are several years old, it’s never too late to start practicing good wiper maintenance habits.

You can tell when your wipers need replacing by looking for streaks on the windshield and worn rubber on the blades. Worn blades can leave streaks and shudder as they sweep across the windshield. The rubber on your wiper blades should be pliable and free of cracks or tears. If it’s not, then it’s time to replace them.

If you’re worried about the condition of your windshield wipers or would like them inspected, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower at 562-920-1871. By keeping your vehicle in good condition, you’ll ensure your safety, as well as your loved ones and those around you!

Bellflower Camshaft Repair

While driving the 91, and you hear strange sounds like backfiring, popping, or tapping noises coming from the top of your vehicle’s engine, or if you experience a dead miss or loss of engine power while driving, it may indicate an issue with your camshaft. If this is the case, Orozco’s Auto Service in Bellflower is a recommended solution.

The camshaft is an essential component of an internal combustion engine, consisting of over 200 moving parts. Without a camshaft, a vehicle’s engine cannot function correctly, and if it becomes damaged, the engine’s performance suffers.

Understanding how a camshaft works can be challenging, especially for those who haven’t had the opportunity to disassemble a car engine. However, it’s worth exploring the role of the camshaft and its impact on engine performance.

When fuel and air mix and ignite, the engine’s pistons move up and down in its cylinders. The valves at the top of the cylinders must open and close to allow oxygen in and expel the exhaust gases produced by the explosion.

According to experts at Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower, the camshaft is responsible for opening and closing each cylinder’s valves at the correct moment and duration. The camshaft comprises “lobes” or “cams” that push rocker arms while the camshaft rotates. This rotation raises the outside of the rocker arm, allowing the inside to press on the valve and open it. As the camshaft continues to rotate, the rocker arm returns to its initial position, releasing the pressure on the valve, and the valve spring closes the valve. This precise timing with the vehicle’s ignition ensures smooth engine operation and efficient power production.

Camshafts can be driven by a belt, chain, or gear set. Some engines have camshafts that are pushed from below, while others sit on top of the motor and work from “overhead.” The latter design may feature a pair of camshafts. Certain cam designs allow for the timing of when the valves are open to vary. With a series of computer controls, this can create different power profiles at different engine speeds.

If your car requires a new camshaft, repairing it is not recommended due to the manufacturing processes involved. Although some high-performance engines use repairable camshafts, it’s usually not practical or cost-effective for the average car on the road. It’s best to replace the camshaft with a new one, and Orozco’s Auto Service is the optimal choice in this situation.

If your vehicle is showing any of the above signs or you believe your vehicle’s camshaft is damaged or are not sure and would like to have it inspected, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Always keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

Bellflower Climate Control Repair

Driving with the windows down can be a refreshing experience during the summer months, but Bellflower residents know that the hot and humid weather can make driving quite uncomfortable. Similarly, during the winter months, the Arctic’s cold air can be extremely chilly. Fortunately, advanced climate control systems exist to maintain our ideal comfort level while driving, controlling temperature, humidity, and air quality within the car.

Despite these systems’ advanced technology, they can malfunction or fail, leaving drivers exposed to the elements. When this happens, it’s crucial to seek professional help. Orozco’s Auto Service is a reputable business in Bellflower that provides expert troubleshooting and repairs for even the most complex climate control systems.

There are several signs that your car’s climate control system may be malfunctioning. For example, if the air conditioning only blows slightly cooler air than the exterior air or smells damp, musty, or like mildew and mold, there may be a problem. During the cold months, if your cabin does not warm up or is only a little warmer than the outside, this could be another indication of an issue.

Furthermore, if the defroster takes longer than usual to operate or does not operate at all, or if the heater or air conditioning only works when driving and stops blowing when the car is stationary, there may be a problem with the system. Additionally, if the heating system blows cold air or the air conditioning blows warm air, this could indicate a problem. Lastly, if you notice low airflow even at the highest fan setting, this could be a sign of an issue.

There are several reasons why your climate control system may malfunction, ranging from faulty wiring or hoses to a malfunctioning AC compressor or onboard computer. Fortunately, Orozco’s Auto Service can handle it all, regardless of your vehicle’s make and model. The expert ASE-certified technicians at Orozco’s Auto Service have years of training and experience in repairing climate control systems. With their nationwide guarantee, you can be confident that your repairs will be effective and long-lasting.

If your vehicle has any of the above signs or you feel your vehicle’s climate control system needs service or are not sure and would like to have it diagnosed, call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871. Keep your vehicle in good condition and ensure the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and those around you!

One crucial aspect to maintain the safety and performance of your vehicle is the brake system, which heavily relies on brake fluid.

Bellflower Oil Leak Repair

In the charming city of Bellflower, California, residents occasionally grapple with the frustrating issue of engine oil leaks plaguing their automobiles. Few things can be as disheartening as stepping out to your vehicle in the morning, only to discover a mysterious fluid stain tarnishing your otherwise pristine driveway.

Recognizing the warning signs, identifying indicators of a brake fluid leak, and promptly seeking assistance from trusted automotive experts, such as the skilled mechanics at Orozco’s Auto Service, can make a significant difference in safeguarding your vehicle’s longevity and on-road safety.

Indications of an Engine Oil Leak:

Oil Puddles Beneath Your Vehicle: A telltale sign of an engine oil leak manifests as dark, viscous fluid puddles beneath your car, often visible in your driveway or parking space.

Pungent Burning Odor: An engine oil leak can cause oil to drip onto heated engine components, resulting in a distinctive burning scent. Detecting this odor while driving or after parking may indicate an oil leak.

Insufficient Oil Levels: Regularly inspecting your vehicle’s oil levels using the dipstick is crucial. Consistently low oil levels between oil changes could signal a leak.

Smoke or Steam Emanating from the Engine: When engine oil comes into contact with hot engine parts, it can generate smoke or steam. If you observe either of these emerging from beneath the hood, it’s time for further investigation.

Signs of Brake Fluid Leakage:

Spongy Brake Pedal: A soft or sinking brake pedal when pressure is applied could be a sign of a brake fluid leak. This is a critical safety issue that demands immediate attention.

Dashboard Warning Lights: Modern vehicles are equipped with dashboard warning lights for various systems, including the brake system. If a warning light related to low brake fluid level illuminates, it could be due to a leak.

Visible Brake Fluid Under the Car: Similar to engine oil leaks, brake fluid leaks can leave puddles beneath your vehicle. Brake fluid typically appears clear or slightly yellow, so if you spot a clear, oily liquid beneath your car, it may be brake fluid.

When you encounter these symptoms or signs, entrusting your vehicle to professionals capable of expertly addressing oil leaks is imperative. In Bellflower, Orozco’s Auto Service stands out as a reliable and esteemed choice for tackling these issues.

Bellflower Safe Driving Tips

At Orozco’s Auto Service in Bellflower, we hold a profound appreciation for every customer and their families. As a result, we want to share invaluable safe driving tips to prioritize the safety of all road users. Whether you’re a new driver or an experienced one, cultivating safe driving habits is essential for your well-being and that of fellow travelers. While advanced automotive technology can assist in safe driving, it’s crucial to recognize that the ultimate responsibility lies with the driver. In this article, we will explore the significance of safe driving in the automotive world and provide essential tips for a secure journey.

Safe driving goes beyond mere legal obligations; it is a moral imperative. Every time we take the wheel, we hold the lives of ourselves, our passengers, and other road users in our hands. The consequences of recklessness or distraction while driving can be catastrophic, leading to injuries, loss of life, and property damage. Conversely, safe driving is a collective effort aimed at reducing accident risks and enhancing road safety for everyone.

Orozco’s Auto Service’s Safe Driving Recommendations!

Avoid Distractions: Distracted driving is a leading cause of accidents. Resist the urge to use your phone, text, or engage in activities that divert your attention from the road. Opt for hands-free options for calls and navigation when necessary.

Adhere to Speed Limits: Speed limits exist for a reason. Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of accidents. Adhering to speed limits is a simple yet powerful strategy to enhance road safety.

Maintain a Safe Following Distance: Always maintain a safe gap between your vehicle and the one in front. This provides better reaction time and reduces the likelihood of rear-end collisions.

Use Turn Signals: Proper use of turn signals communicates your intentions to fellow drivers, promoting smoother traffic flow and reducing the risk of unexpected road incidents.

Buckle Up: Seatbelts are your primary defense in a collision. Always fasten your seatbelt and ensure that all vehicle occupants do the same.

Follow Traffic Laws: Obey all traffic regulations, including stopping at red lights and stop signs, yielding the right of way, and respecting pedestrian crossings.

Be Mindful of Weather Conditions: Adjust your driving to match current weather conditions. Slow down in rainy, snowy, or foggy conditions, and ensure your vehicle is equipped with appropriate tires for the season.

Avoid Driving Under the Influence: Never drive under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or substances that impair your judgment and reflexes. Arrange for a designated driver or alternative transportation when needed.

Stay Alert and Well-Rested: Fatigue can be as dangerous as impairment. Prioritize sufficient rest before embarking on long journeys and take breaks to stay alert and energized.

Respect Fellow Drivers: Demonstrating patience and courtesy on the road can prevent road rage and aggressive driving, reducing confrontations and accidents.

Maintain Your Vehicle for Safety: Regular vehicle maintenance is just as important as following the safety recommendations mentioned above. Various vehicle components can deteriorate over time, potentially compromising safety. Orozco’s Auto Service in Bellflower offers comprehensive vehicle inspections to ensure critical components like brakes and steering are in proper working order. Prioritizing vehicle maintenance ensures your safety on the road.

Safe driving in the automotive world is a shared responsibility that we all bear every time we get behind the wheel. The safe driving practices listed above are just a selection from a wide range of precautions. Emphasizing the importance of safe driving principles cannot be stressed enough. By remaining vigilant, avoiding distractions, maintaining your vehicle, and adhering to traffic rules, we can significantly reduce accident risks and create safer roads for everyone. Remember that safe driving is not just about following rules; it’s about saving lives and promoting a more harmonious and secure transportation system for all.
