The Essential Fluids for Your Vehicle's Health

1. Engine Oil: The cornerstone of your vehicle's well-being, engine oil, prevents the engine components from grinding against each other, causing wear and damage. Regular oil changes are a staple service at our centers, including the West Street Service Center and both Absolute Auto Repair Centers in Shirley and Fitchburg. We tailor our oil change services to your vehicle's specific needs, ensuring optimal engine health.

2. Coolant: Engine overheating is a driver's nightmare, especially during the extreme seasons experienced in Gardner, Shirley, and Fitchburg, MA. Coolant keeps your engine temperature in check, preventing overheating and freezing. Our teams at all three locations stress the importance of maintaining proper coolant levels and offer services to help manage this vital fluid.

3. Transmission Fluid: This fluid ensures that your vehicle's transmission operates smoothly, allowing for seamless gear shifts. If you're experiencing rough transmission shifts, it might be time for a fluid check at any of our locations, including the Absolute Auto Repair Centers in Shirley and Fitchburg or West Street Service Center in Gardner.

4. Brake Fluid: The importance of functional brakes cannot be overstated for your safety on the road. Brake fluid facilitates the proper operation of your braking system. We recommend regular brake fluid inspections and replacements at any of our centers to ensure your vehicle stops safely and reliably.

5. Power Steering Fluid: For effortless steering and control, maintaining your power steering fluid is essential. If steering your vehicle becomes challenging, visit us at Shirley, Fitchburg, or Gardner, and our skilled technicians will ensure your steering is as smooth as it should be.

6. Windshield Washer Fluid: Clear visibility is crucial for safe driving. Maintaining your windshield washer fluid can be particularly important during the messy winter months in Massachusetts. At all our locations, we can top off your washer fluid and offer tips for keeping your windshield clear.
