When cracks are visible or the hose swells or feels soft, it is a sure sign that the hoses need to be replaced. Call us today for more details.
Cooling Systems
The radiator is important your vehicle’s cooling system. Responsible for reducing the heat in your engine, the radiator must be clean, leak free, filled with coolant and clear of blockages for it to work properley. Coolant that is not maintained becomes acidic over time and causes corrosion. Fixing these one-off leaks could just be a short term solution for a much larger problem. The fan is responsible for cooling your engine externally, and may cause the engine to overheat if its not working properly. The good news is these issues can be avoided by performing coolant flushes at the intervals recommended by V.I.P Auto Service Center LV technicians. We are certified to diagnose and repair components in your cooling system including the radiator, thermostat, water pump, fan, belts and more!

This can cause your car to jerk or hesitate, making it difficult to climb hills and not maintain speeds. Furthermore Carbon deposits in your engine can damage your vehicle’s health. These deposits are often the cause of knocking noises or pinging sound from the engine. If any of these sypmtoms sound familiar please dont hesitate to call us we give free VIP towing with general repairs.
Transmission Repair or Replacement
Normal wear and tear can cause transmission fluids leaks simply due to the operating environment of your transmission. For example, the output shafts all come in direct contact with the seals around them so the motion of the shaft will eventually wear down the seal and cause a leak. Also, the temperature swings and constant shifting of the transmission can cause movement between the seals and gaskets in your transmission eventually leading to leaks. Bring it in to V.I.P Auto Service Center LV and we will inspect you transmission and educate you on any recommendations your vehicle may ever need.
Transmission Diagnostics
Your transmission starts making knocking noises it shouldn’t be making, it’s time to get it inspected. You’ll probably hear a humming or buzzing coming from your transmission. When this happens, don’t wait to bring it in. Fix it as soon as possible, before any further damage may occur. Your transmission was designed so that you can switch gears in a smooth motion. When there is a delayed response, your transmission may need service. Further more, this symptom manifests itself differently for manual and automatic transmissions. For manual transmissions, when you change gears and you hear or feel a sense of grinding; it may mean that you have just worn out the clutch and you need to replace it. It may also mean that one of the transmission’s synchronizers is worn out and damaged. For automatic transmissions, a rough shift rather than an unnoticeable one could be caused by a few things. Take it into a professional to diagnose.
Timing Chain Diagnostics
The timing chain is a series of links in the chain – similar to those found on a bicycle chain. The links move on the toothed sprockets which are located on the ends of the crankshaft and camshaft, and are responsible for the valves opening in the cylinder head and moving pistons and connecting rods in the combustion chamber. The timing chain can start to stretch and wear with time, which will cause the engine's timing to be inaccurate and cause it to malfunction.
Timing Belt Diagnostics
The timing belt is an important engine component that rotates the engine’s cam and crankshaft in sync and ensures each cylinder fires at the appropriate time. It's commonly manufactured out of high-quality rubber with nylon-reinforced cords inside to extend the life of the belt. However, it is subject to incredible forces inside your motor and will need to be replaced eventually. Without a fully functioning timing belt, your engine will not run.
