Maintaining the temperature of the engine within ideal limits is done by the cooling system of your vehicle. It promotes effective operation and helps to prevent overheating. Coolant is circulated through the system, absorbs heat from the engine and distributes it through the radiator fins – air flowing over the radiator removes the heat from the system. Should the cooling system malfunction, it could cause overheating of the engine, and expensive repairs. At Brown’s Automotive Experts in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, we offer comprehensive cooling system repairs. Whether the water pump needs replacement, or the radiator needs repairs, hoses or the thermostat – whatever causes impaired operation of your vehicle’s cooling system can be diagnosed and repaired by our nationally ASE certified technicians.

A radiator is an indispensable part of your car's cooling system. It keeps the temperature of your engine at a safe level by moving the heat absorbed from the coolant into the air, which prevents your vehicle’s engine from overheating. A well-operating radiator is important in protecting your car, whether during hot summer drives or cold winter conditions. Issues with the radiator usually include leaks, corrosion, or a blockage. A radiator replacement becomes essential when the current unit cannot sufficiently cool the engine and cannot be repaired.

Brown’s Automotive Experts offers comprehensive Albuquerque auto repair and maintenance services, and spark plugs replacement is among them.

To avoid these issues, you need to replace your spark plugs at the recommended intervals. At Brown’s Automotive Experts, we’ll make sure your spark plugs are in top shape.

Control arms are essential in maintaining alignment, handling, and stability of your vehicle. At Brown’s Automotive Experts in Albuquerque we offer control arms replacement as part of our comprehensive auto maintenance and repair services. Control Arms and Vehicle Suspension Your vehicle suspension system’s control arms link the wheel hubs and steering knuckles to the car's chassis. They preserve correct alignment and handling and let the wheels move independently. Usually composed of heavy-duty materials such as steel or aluminum, control arms vary in design according to the particular needs of the vehicle using wishbone or multi-link configurations. Control arms also assist in absorbing road shock, maintaining comfortable ride quality, and supporting the general vehicle performance and safety. As such, these components are prone to wear and tear from driving impacts, road conditions, and material fatigue.   If you bring your vehicle to Br ... read more

Does your Chevrolet need serpentine belt replacement? Whether you drive a Chevy Malibu, Camaro, or a Chevrolet Tahoe, serpentine belt replacement is one of the maintenance items that should be done at the proper time. Fortunately, at Brown’s Automotive Experts in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, we offer full gamut of maintenance services and repairs, including serpentine belt replacement. Serpentine belt is not as famous as the timing belt, yet it’s very important to the operation of your vehicle.  It powers the alternator, power steering pump, ac compressor, and the water pump. Over time, it wears out and needs to be replaced for consistent performance and reliable driving. Typically, you can expect serpentine belt replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Depending on the condition of the belt, we may recommend an earlier replacement. Here are a few symptoms that could indicate that serpentine belt replacement is necessary, regardless of the mileage from the last repl ... read more

The timing belt of your Chevrolet plays a crucial role in synchronizing the camshaft and crankshaft of the engine, ensuring proper engine operation. Over time, the timing belt can degrade, potentially causing engine damage if not replaced in a timely fashion. At Brown’s Automotive Experts our skilled technicians have extensive experience in Chevrolet timing belt replacement. Timing belt replacement is time consuming, and involves not only the timing belt itself but also replacement of tensioners and pulleys. We highly recommend performing water pump replacement at the same time – you will save considerable amount of money on labor, and a new water pump is likely to last as long as the new timing belt. Typically timing belt replacement should be performed every 90,000 – 100,000 miles, though exact recommendations differ depending on the model you are driving. When you bring your Chevrolet into one of our Albuquerque or Rio Rancho shops, our nationally ASE certified t ... read more

Your Chevrolet's ignition coils are crucial components responsible for delivering high voltage electricity to the spark plugs, which generate the sparks that ignite the air and gas mixture in the engine cylinders. Over time, ignition coils can degrade or fail, leading to engine misfires, poor fuel efficiency, and potential damage to the catalytic converter. At Brown’s Automotive Experts in Albuquerque, our skilled technicians have extensive experience replacing Chevrolet ignition coils to maintain your vehicle's smooth and reliable performance. Ignition coils play a vital role in the ignition system by converting low voltage from the battery into the high voltage needed by the spark plugs to generate the sparks. Properly functioning ignition coils ensure proper combustion, fuel efficiency, and smooth acceleration. However, over time, ignition coils can wear out due to heat, vibration, or electrical issues, causing engine performance problems. Symptoms Indicating the Nee ... read more
