- Engine RepairAn engine's pistons are powered by thousands of controlled explosions created by mixing fuel with oxygen, thus creating combustions. The heat and expanding gases from these small explosions push down on the piston in the cylinder, causing movement. Engines need air (namely oxygen) to burn fuel. During the intake stroke, valves open to allow the piston to act like a syringe as it moves downward, drawing in ambient air through the engine's intake system. When the piston reaches the bottom of its stroke, the intake valves close, effectively sealing the cylinder for the compression stroke, which is in the opposite direction of the intake stroke. The upward movement of the piston compresses the intake charge. We at Ron's Automotive - Cascade Park in Vancouver know all about how engines work and can make the appropriate repairs as efficiently as possible.

- Suspension Service/RepairThe suspension system in your vehicle is a structure designed to maximize the friction between the tires and the surface of the road, provide adequate handling as well as steering control, and ensure that passengers are comfortable. As the tires hit different bumps, cracks, and holes on the road, this could cause the wheels to move upward and transfer that energy to the frame of the vehicle. The suspension works to absorb that energy to make sure that you are firmly planted on the road and feel comfortable as you drive along. The suspension plays an important role in maintaining comfort and safety. As a result, getting a suspension service or diagnosis is crucial if there are any issues. We at Ron's Automotive - Cascade Park are knowledgeable in suspension repair. If you are in Vancouver or the surrounding area and need suspension repair, come to our shop.

When it is time for you to bring in your vehicle for repair, come to Ron's Automotive - Cascade Park in Vancouver as soon as you can! The steering system in your vehicle is extremely important for safely maneuvering through the streets of Camas, WA, Cascade Park, WA, Hazel Dell, WA, Vancouver, WA, and beyond. The steering system in your vehicle relies on the input from the driver using the steering wheel and the mechanisms underneath the vehicle to turn the front wheels left and right. Most vehicles come with power steering, the system that makes steering much easier to do. Power steering either uses an electronic motor or a hydraulic system. If the power steering uses a hydraulic system, it will use a power steering fluid to transmit power. As the pressure builds, it moves the pistons in the steering gear/rack which reduces the effort needed from the driver. However, you may eventually need to get a power steering fluid exchange service. Dirt and debris could contaminate the fluid, cause a leak, and make the system fail. Bring your vehicle to Ron's Automotive - Cascade Park if you ever need to get any steering service done such as power steering rack and pinion replacement or power steering fluid exchange service.
