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.

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.

Maintenance Tip: Always follow your vehicles manufacturer’s recommendations for replacing your timing belt and serpentine belt. These are both critical to your engines health and a failure of these components can lead to critical failure in your engine.

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. 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.

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 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 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. By analyzing the input from the steering wheel, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) then sends a signal to an electronic motor, which is located at the base of the steering column. This motor then turns and aids the driver with the steering process.

There are some signs you can be aware of that your power steering may soon be in need of repair.  It could be difficult turning the steering wheel. You may notice a whining or squealing noise. You may notice leaking power steering fluid near the steering gear or rack, this is usually a red fluid. Your vehicle may wanders or pulls to one side. This could be a premature steering gear is worn and or can be caused by lack of lubrication from power steering fluid.

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

Bellflower Tail Light Repair & Brake Light Repair

Imagine that your peacefully driving down Alondra Boulevard minding your own business when suddenly you notice red and blue lights flashing behind you. You know you were driving safely and following all the laws. Why would the police be pulling you over? It could be one of your tail lights or brake lights isn’t working. It may be a tail light, driving with a broken tail light or brake light isn’t just illegal but it can also be dangerous. If you fail to properly maintain your car’s safety features, you could end up being the cause of an accident. Thankfully, you can avoid this potential problem and any associated legal fees altogether by having your vehicle’s lights regularly checked and maintained with Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower, California.

Getting your vehicle’s tail light lens replaced when they are broken or discolored gives you the peace of mind that other motorists can see where you intend to move or stop your vehicle.  Additionally, other drivers might not see your indicators. That puts you, your passengers, and other drivers on the road at risk of a collision. Plus you can avoid getting any of those surprise fix-it tickets.

Here is some more valuable information about your tail lights. Tail light lenses are most often made of a polycarbonate plastic and sealed watertight to the tail light housing. This hard plastic can easily be broken with even the lightest of impacts, and UV light and our hot Southern California sun can cause the plastic to become cloudy or discolored, requiring tail light lens replacement. The the tail light lens helps both protects the bulb from moisture and breakage. As well, the tail light lens ensures that emanating light is the correct color for that light’s particular purpose. Many vehicle’s have one tail light lens on each side while others have tail light lenses that split up the purposes among two or three lenses per side.

Here are a few of the more common symptoms that you may need your tail lights or brake lights replaced. It they have a hazy or cloudy appearance with diminished light, a cracked or broken plastic or there are signs of moisture inside tail light lens that can cause a short or corrosion.

If you are concerned about your tail lights or brake lights or you would like to have them inspected call Orozco’s Auto Service of Bellflower today at 562-920-1871.

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!

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. 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 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 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!

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.

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. This common automotive conundrum can rapidly escalate if left unattended. 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.
