- Starter RepairIf your car’s starter is acting up, chances are you aren’t going to get too far. The starter is the part of your car that turns over the engine and signals the battery to provide the electricity to do so. If yours isn’t performing the way it should, you may have to jumpstart your vehicle to get it going, or you may not be able to get it started at all. Depending on the issue, our team will either rebuild or replace your car’s starter, and we will have you turning over your engine each and every time like a pro. For the very best starter repair in Philadelphia, PA, bring your vehicle to the team at Shums Auto Repair.

Don’t hesitate to ask us any questions and let us know about your concerns. We’re happy to help you understand why the check engine light has come on, and what can be done to remedy the situation.

- Timing Belt/Chain Replacement
- Transmission ServiceIn most cases, the transmission problems begin with a small leak. Be on the lookout for brown fluid, a burning smell, or unusual noises. Another red flag includes sudden vibrations when you drive or your car hesitates whenever you shift gears. With regular transmission service, you can stop these problems from becoming something much more serious, such as the need for a complete transmission rebuild. If you do find that you’re in need of this service, we can help. Let our expert technicians take a closer look at your transmission so we can help you get the service you need for a smoother-riding, safer car.
- Transmission RepairAll vehicles should have their transmission checked on a regular basis, but there are some things that can affect how long it lasts. Your individual driving habits can play a big role in the lifespan of your transmission. For example, if you do a lot of heavy driving or tend to drive over rougher terrain, the transmission may need service more often than someone who only drives to and from work. Tiny contaminants can build up in your transmission fluid over time, so it’s good to have the fluid checked every 2 years and not once a year.

- Wheel AlignmentIf your vehicle seems like it’s pulling to one side or it feels wobbly, you could be in need of an alignment. Every time you drive, your vehicle experiences vibrations and over time, this can affect the alignment. If you drive over rough terrain, do a lot of city driving, or you deal with a lot of potholes, your need for a wheel alignment might be more frequent than other drivers. Normal wear and tear will also cause you to need an alignment in order to protect your tires. If you notice an unusual noise, this could also be a sign that your wheels are no longer in alignment.

This is a fast and simple fix that should have your brakes working correctly again. If the problem is more severe, you might need new drums or rotors. In some cases, the rotors can be resurfaced without having to be fully replaced. This will depend on the current degree of damage.
