Fuel/Air Induction
Service Problem:Deposits accumulate on intake
valves, injectors, ports, fuel injectors and combustion chambers causing
loss of power, rough idle, hesitation, misfire, pinging, knocking,
mileage and hard starting.
Solution:- Clean plenum and
air-intake
- Clean intake valves
and ports
- Remove combustion
chamber deposits
- Correct
balance of fuel and air in system
Result:- Starts and idles smooth
and runs quieter
Problem:The Exhaust
Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve is clogged causing loss of power. If
neglected a costly repair bill is imminent.
Solution:Remove EGR
valve and attach a specialized tool at the EGR port, where a
carbon-attacking chemical eliminates carbon
build-up.
Recommended service
interval every 2 years or 30,000
miles
Lubrication & Fuel
ServiceProblem:Deposits
form in the oil and fuel injectors and combustion chambers over
time.
Solution:Eliminate the build-up of fuel
and oil deposits between oil changes by
installing:
- BG MOA®, a premium engine oil
additive with deposit
inhibitors
- BG CF5 maintains a
clean fuel system by eliminating deposit
build-up
Problem:High engine temperatures caused
by heavy stop and go driving conditions lead to thermal breakdown of
engine oil. Not all of the oil is removed during a drain and fill oil
change. Deposits are left behind and form sludge and varnish in the
engine resulting in smoke from the exhaust and increased oil
usage.
Solution:A BG 9800
tool safely and effectively cleans and removes oxidized particles and
fluid contamination left behind from previous oil changes. Install new
oil and filter along with BG MOA® to fortify new oil for optimum
performance and engine protection. The result will be improved engine
compression, increased power and increased fuel economy.
Recommended service
interval every 4 years or 60,000
miles
Cooling
System ServiceProblem:Coolant is
depleted of buffering ingredients and becomes extremely corrosive,
literally eating holes in cooling system components. By-products of
corrosion damage, as well as rust and scale, clog the passageways that
conduct the water through the radiator and choke off the flow. This may
result in an overheated engine that may be damaged beyond
repair.
Solution:The entire
cooling system is first cleaned and then all debris and worn out
coolant is completely removed from the system. Then, fresh new premium
coolant is added. Conditioners are also included to prevent rust and
corrosion and BG Universal Cooling System Sealer is also included to
prevent leaks.
Recommended service
interval every 2 years or 30,000 miles for regular coolant / 5 years or
90,000 miles for long life coolant
Transmission ServiceProblem:After 30,000 miles,
transmission fluid begins to show its age as it turns brown in color and
oxidizes due to the combination of time and heat. Deposits begin to
form around the transmission's many moving parts, resulting in valves
that stick and gears that slip or are sluggish and chatter as they
shift.
Solution:Rather than just removing the
fluid found in the bottom of the pan, the entire transmission is cleaned
and replenished with the use of special equipment. The transmission and
its torque converter have all of their old contaminated fluid removed
while new fluid and premium conditioners are
added.
One of the hardest working parts of your
vehicle will shift smoothly and effortlessly for many more trouble-free
miles.
Recommended service
interval every 2 years or 30,000 miles for regular fluid / 4 years or
60,000 miles for world standard
Drive Line
ServiceProblem:Heat, moisture, extreme
pressure and loads cause gear oil to break down or to be contaminated,
leading to lubrication failure and worn
gears.
Solution:Remove and replace old
worn-out lubricant from manual transmissions, front and rear
differentials, transaxles, and transfer cases. Install gear oil or the
additive package required for vehicle
application.
You'll experience smoother
gear-shifting, quieter operation and extended component-life, which will
reduce major repair costs due to worn gears.
Power
Steering ServiceProblem:The power steering pump
produces high pressure between 800-2000 pounds, with high heat. This
leads to fluid breakdown and failure.
Symptoms include groaning
and whining noises, erratic steering and pump
leaks.
Solution:A powerful cleaner suspends
and dissolves varnish and gums in the power steering system and then all
of the old fluid is replaced with new high-tech power steering fluid
for both conventional sector and rack and pinion. The benefit will be a
quieter-operating, longer lasting power-steering
system.
Recommended service
interval every 4 years or 60,000
miles
Brake
ServiceProblem:Brake fluid
becomes oxidized and contaminated over time and use. Heat and moisture
cause corrosion on parts and brake fluid failure. This causes a spongy
brake pedal and shows up in discolored brake
fluid.
Solution:The entire brake system is
inspected for leaks, master cylinder corrosion, worn pneumatic parts,
harmful varnish build-up, broken or rusted bleeder valves, worn rotors
and drums and air in the brake lines. All old brake fluid is replaced
with BG Heavy Duty DOT 3 or DOT 4 Brake Fluid. The result will be a
longer lasting, more efficient and safer braking
system.
Recommended service
interval every 3 years or 30,000
miles
Climate Control
Service
Problem:
Condensation in your vehicle's air conditioning system promotes fungus,
mold and bacterial growth that is blown into the passenger compartment.
Add to this nauseating smell the sound of an A/C compressor making a
clacking sound due to a depletion of oil.
Solution:
Clean out the air conditioning lines, evaporator and ventilator and then
kill any bacteria mold or fungi. Then, deodorize the entire A/C system
and the vehicle's interior. Finally, after a complete inspection for
leaks and wear, our technicians will measure and replenish the oil in
the compressor. The air inside your vehicle will be much cleaner and 4
to 5 degrees cooler, thanks to increased
efficiency.
Battery
ServiceProblem:Over time corrosion accumulates
on the battery posts and terminals to the degree that this build-up
begins to drain power from the battery. That's one of the reasons
battery failure is the #1 culprit for calls made requesting roadside
assistance.
Solution:A battery cleaner and leak
detector is applied after a thorough cleaning and inspection.
Anti-corrosion BG Battery Terminal Protectors are installed and the
battery posts, terminals and case are sealed.
Headlight
Restoration
Headlight
RestorationProblem:Most vehicles built after the
early nineties are equipped with acrylic headlights, which eventually
become cloudy from debris that causes abrasions to the lens.
Additionally, exposure to weather, pollutants and solar radiation can
further diminish the appearance of an otherwise attractive vehicle. But
more importantly, it can reduce visibility during night driving. It's a
problem that affects nearly every vehicle make and model, foreign or
domestic.
Solution:The Class
Act Headlight Restoration Service involves a simple process, which
includes lightly sanding the surface until the cloudy and discolored
surface is removed, then applying a protective sealant. The service
restores clarity and improves luminosity. It's completely safe to use
and compatible with all headlight components.
