Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and Los Ranchos De Albuquerque Auto Repair

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

Brown's Automotive Experts auto repair shops provide complete auto air conditioning services and repairs for Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. Whether your vehicle is blowing insufficient amount of cold air, whether it's blowing warm air, or if its a/c system is not blowing any air at all, our highly skilled technicians can diagnose and repair the problem. When we think of auto a/c system problems, we usually think of refrigerant issues – either a major leak, or a slow leak that at some point leaves refrigerant level too low to provide proper cooling. But there are many other parts of the system that can cause auto a/c problems – blower motor, relays, hoses, ac condenser, ambient temperature sensor, heater core, a/c evaporator, a/c compressor, and of course, the a/c control module – any one of these parts can fail, causing auto air conditioning problems.
