Most automakers recommend car maintenance at 30,000-mile intervals, adhering to the 30/60/90K mile schedule provided to car owners. Our team can keep you on track, preserving your vehicle's condition, optimizing its performance, and enhancing its resale value. The 30/60/90K service covers:

- With higher mileage: spark plugs, belts, timing belts when applicable
Belt Replacement
Fan belts (or drive belts) dry out and crack over time. If you hear squealing or see wear, visit Wilson Garage in Akron for expert belt inspection and replacement using quality parts.
Check Engine Light Diagnostics
It could be a loose gas cap-or something serious like a failing catalytic converter. Visit us in Akron for quick code reading and diagnostics. At Wilson Garage, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you.
Factory Scheduled Maintenance
Automakers provide a service schedule for each vehicle. Our Akron technicians follow this closely for gas and diesel vehicles, domestic or import, to ensure long-term performance.
Hose Replacement
Cracked, dry hoses can leak coolant and cause overheating and prevent optimum performance. We inspect and replace worn hoses to keep your cooling system in top shape.
Oil, Lube & Filter Changes
Most vehicles need oil and filter changes every 3,000 to 7,500 miles. We provide full oil, lube, and filter service at Wilson Garage to prevent wear and overheating.
Oil Filter FAQs
How often should oil filters be changed?
Consult your owner's manual to determine the recommended maintenance interval for your vehicle's oil filter. Some manufacturers recommend replacing the oil filter every time you get an oil change, while others may recommend replacing it every other oil change.
Why is water leaking on my foot on the driver's side?
The most common cause is a blocked air conditioning drain hose. This is typically a simple repair at Wilson Garage. Other possible causes of water leaking onto the driver's side floor include a damaged door seal or a leaking heat exchanger. Our technicians can inspect the source of the leak and determine the appropriate repair.
Why is my car leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?
If there is a sweet-smelling fluid leaking from your vehicle, coolant or antifreeze may be the source. A coolant leak can become a serious problem if left unaddressed. If your vehicle gets too low on coolant or antifreeze, the engine can overheat and potentially suffer engine damage. Have the vehicle inspected promptly to locate and repair the leak.
FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles
Why are my wheels making a chirping sound when I accelerate?
The most common reason your car's wheels make a chirping or squealing sound, especially during acceleration, is a bad wheel bearing. If you notice a grinding or grating noise coming from a wheel, this can also be a sign that a wheel bearing is beginning to fail. If you're in Akron, Fairlawn, Montrose, Ghent, or the surrounding area, come by Wilson Garage and we can diagnose the problem quickly.
Why does my car make a noise when I turn the steering wheel?
If your car makes strange sounds or clicking noises when you turn the steering wheel, one possible cause is low power steering fluid. As the fluid level drops, air can enter the power steering system and cause unwanted noises.
Come to Wilson Garage to have the power steering system inspected and the fluid level checked. If the noise returns quickly after the fluid is topped off, your vehicle may have a power steering fluid leak. Our professionals in Akron can diagnose the source of the problem and recommend the appropriate repair.
Why is my car making a squealing noise?
A squealing or chirping noise may be caused by a slipping or misaligned belt. These noises can occur when a belt and pulley are not properly aligned or when the belt is becoming worn. If you come by Wilson Garage in Akron, our professional auto repair technicians can inspect the belt and pulley system, determine the source of the noise, and make the necessary repairs before the belt fails completely.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I have had many different cars and mechanics throughout my life. This team has worked on all my Chevys. Currently my 1993 Indianappolis 500 Pacecar Camaro and my 1997 30th Anniversary Z28 Convertible. They are my gems and they have been reasonable with pricing, timely in returning the vehicles and usually available. They have not done unnecessary work when I suspected greater repairs were necessary. They fixed issues directly saving me money on my AC, starters, suspension and tires. The only thing that was not a job they would do was my Convertible top. But at least they were honest in their services. I recommend them 100 percent.
Thank you for accommodating a scheduling misunderstanding when I brought my daughter's car in for tires! As an out of state mom who drove in to help with an appointment conflict, I appreciate your willingness to help us out!
Called Monday morning and they got me right in for my alternator. Great service and very friendly.
All I can say is Chris, Misty and everyone that works there go above and beyond all the times that I have used them. Here is another place that is not out to rip you off. God Bless You All!!
