Full-Service Auto Repair
Engine & Transmission
Engine trouble can be spotted in a number of ways, from the obvious check engine light to having low power, strange noises and smells, or smoke. Regular servicing will help to reduce the need for major engine work. However, if the need arises, engine repair and tune-ups are in our areas of expertise.
Just like your engine, the transmission is a vital and complex piece that needs regular maintenance to perform smooth and efficient shifting. Overheated or dirty transmission fluid can affect the performance of your transmission and cause costly damage if not repaired on time. At Bella Vista Auto, we are experienced at maintaining and repairing both automatic and manual transmissions.
Steering and Suspension
Your vehicle is equipped with a variety of chassis components, and as your vehicle ages, so do the suspension components. If your steering is misaligned, you likely will be fighting your steering wheel as you drive down the road, which can cause handling issues and safety concerns.
We can efficiently repair your steering and suspension to guarantee that your vehicle is operating at its best on the road.
AC/Heating
Heating and A/C systems may break eventually with usage. Is the air conditioning blowing warm air or making you only slightly cooler than outside? Is the heating system blowing cold air or only slightly warmer than outside? Do you notice a lack of function when idling or a damp, musty smell? If you’re experiencing any of these issues, call Bella Vista Auto for comprehensive heating and A/C system evaluation and repair.
Brakes
Your vehicle weighs several thousand pounds, and it takes a lot of force to bring it and your passengers to a safe stop. The earliest warning signs of needed brake repairs include strange vibrations or a high-pitched squeal when you brake. You may also notice that it feels harder to stop your car. At Bella Vista Auto, we are qualified to diagnose and repair problems arising with the many components of both new and old brake systems, including brake pads and brake fluid.
Electrical
Your vehicle needs a functioning electrical system to start and run. Components of the electrical system include batteries, starters, alternators, computer systems, and controls. Problems can be caused by poor connections, broken wires, shorts, battery drain concerns and much more. Just like any other vehicle system, the certified and experienced technicians at Bella Vista Auto can assess and repair your electrical system. We can also replace your starter, alternator or battery, if necessary.

Vehicle Diagnostics
Did you know that today’s vehicles are manufactured with complex interrelated systems and can have 20+ on-board computers keeping the vehicle systems running and monitoring their performance? When your check engine or other warning light comes on, we encourage you to call Bella Vista Auto rather than attempt to diagnose the problem yourself.
Your check engine alert could be caused by anything from a need for a complex transmission repair to a simple loose gas cap. At Bella Vista Auto, we carry the latest in dealership-level diagnostic equipment, and our technicians are trained in diagnosing and repairing every area of your vehicle.
