The air conditioning unit in your vehicle operates similarly to a refrigerator. Your vehicle’s air conditioning unit is designed to move heat from the inside of your car to outside of it. Your vehicle’s air conditioning unit has six major components: The refrigerant, compressor, condenser, expansion valve (sometimes called the orifice tube), evaporator, and receiver or dryer filters. If any of these components is damaged, it can turn your cool car into a furnace during the summer months. Your vehicle’s air conditioning issue could be as simple as topping off refrigerant to replacing a valve. When your air conditioning unit is not working as it should, bring your vehicle to Eliot Park Auto Service.
Your vehicle’s axles are vital to keeping you safe on the road. They are just as important as other safety devices on your vehicle, such as brakes and tires. Axles bear all of your vehicle’s weight. They connect its wheels and help drive the vehicle.

If your vehicle is not turning as smoothly as usual or you are having problems stopping your car, you might need an axle repair. If your vehicle’s axles need to be replaced, we can help you find the best axles in NAPA’s inventory and install them for you so you can get back on the road quickly.
Your vehicle’s battery is the source of electrical currents necessary to start the engine.

You can trust us to service your battery and, if necessary, help you find and install the perfect new battery for your vehicle.

Engine oil is what lubricates a car’s engine, allowing it to run smoothly and last longer. Car owners must maintain a car’s engine by changing the oil and using the oil appropriate for their cars make and model. Every car comes with a “check oil” light and an oil filter under the hood. An important part of routine car maintenance is changing the oil regularly. If the “check engine oil” light comes on while driving, this is a strong indication that the car is running low on oil. For professional, comprehensive oil changes, bring your car to Eliot Park Auto Service.
