A cooling system failure is the number one reason for automotive breakdown on our nation’s highways. Unlike a flat tire, you can’t stop and put on a spare. Trust A.J. McKay to get your vehicle operating at the right temperature. Our ASE-certified technicians will efficiently have you back on the road with a properly maintained cooling system!
Among all the equipment in your vehicle, belts and hoses have the shortest lifespan. Due to constant exposure to heat, vibration, and harmful chemicals, these components invariably crack, leak, fray, and peel. If not promptly replaced and maintained, this could spell disaster for the performance of your vehicle. And evaluating the condition of your belts and hoses only on their appearance is not enough! Diligent inspection is required, and we are here to do it.
The Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association (AMRA) recommends to its members that (1) auto Brake fluid be tested for contamination at OEM recommended brake system inspection intervals, and (2) that a Brake fluid replacement service be performed, for most vehicles, when testing shows copper content exceeds 200 ppm. The AMRA Technical Committee reached these conclusions after extensive study of industry data, including a review of SAE Papers, US Government reports (NHTSA and NIST) and independent laboratory studies, among other resources. The data showed that this increased presence of copper contamination predetermines the rapid growth of iron contamination and corrosion which has shown to impede future brake system performance.
Your car's battery tends to be one of those things you just don't think about until one day, you turn the key in the ignition and hear the strained groans of the starter. Then the clicks... and then nothing. Car battery corrosion and a dead battery. Now you're the one groaning.
Contrary to popular belief, it's actually not usually cold weather that kills off your battery. Actually, excessive summer heat and overcharging, caused by a faulty component in the charging system (such as your regulator), are two of the main culprits that can damage a battery's internal workings. When this happens, the battery becomes weaker over time and tends to show its true colors when cold weather hits. Engine oil thickens up in the winter, making the engine harder to crank. So if your battery has slowly been draining all summer and is not in tip-top shape, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise when the cold weather comes.

After moving to Phoenix from Massachusetts I was concerned that I would have a tough time finding a good mechanic. Fortunately yahoo user reviews pointed me to McKay auto. I have always felt that AJ has charged me a fair price and unlike other shops he doesn't try to sell you things you don't need.
