Belt Replacement
Fan belts (or drive belts) dry out and crack over time. If you hear squealing or see wear, visit Bowen Street Garage in Longmont 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 Longmont for quick code reading and diagnostics. At Bowen Street Garage, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you.
Factory Scheduled Maintenance
Automakers provide a service schedule for each vehicle. Our Longmont technicians follow this closely for gas and diesel vehicles, domestic or import, to ensure long-term performance.
Headlight and Bulb Replacement
If your bulbs are dim or out, it's time for a replacement. Our Longmont team installs high-quality bulbs to restore visibility and safety.
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 Service
To maintain smooth operation, your vehicle heavily relies on oil, lube, and oil filters. Oil serves to lubricate, cool, and cleanse the internal engine components. Over time, motor oil becomes contaminated. Your vehicle requires an oil, lube, and filter change on a regular basis, which will vary based on a number of factors. When the time comes for a lube, oil, or filter change, entrust your vehicle to Bowen Street Garage in Longmont, CO.
Wiper Blade Replacement
If your blades streak or skip, it's time for new ones. We install quality wipers in minutes at Bowen Street Garage for better road visibility during rain or snow. Give us a call at 303-651-2220 for more information.
FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles
Why is my car making a squealing noise?
It may be a slipping fan belt. Listen for warning signs such as squeaking or chirping noises. These sounds are often caused by misalignment between the belt and pulley. If you come by Bowen Street Garage in Longmont, our professional auto repair technicians can inspect and realign the belt to stop the noise and address the problem before the belt fails completely.
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. When the fluid level drops, air can enter the power steering system and cause unwanted noises.
Come to Bowen Street 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 Longmont can diagnose the cause and recommend the appropriate repair.
Why does my car squeal when I start it in the morning?
A squealing noise when starting your vehicle can be caused by a worn or loose belt. Depending on the vehicle and the source of the noise, the issue may involve an accessory drive belt or another belt-driven component. Because some belt failures can lead to serious mechanical problems, unusual or persistent noises should be inspected promptly. Come to Bowen Street Garage and our technicians can determine the source of the noise and recommend the proper repair.
Leaking Fluid FAQs
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 straightforward repair at Bowen Street 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.
What should I do if my car creates a small oil leak on my driveway?
If the spill is still wet, cover the stain with an absorbent material such as clay cat litter, sand, cornmeal, cornstarch, or baking soda. This can help absorb the oil before it soaks further into the concrete. Once the spill has dried, sweep up the absorbent material and clean the remaining stain with soap and water.
A small oil leak on your driveway is also an indication that something may be wrong with your vehicle. Bring your car to Bowen Street Garage so the source of the leak can be diagnosed. An oil leak should not be ignored because loss of engine oil can eventually lead to serious engine damage.
Why is my car leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?
If you notice 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 the coolant level becomes too low, the engine may overheat and potentially suffer engine damage. Have the vehicle inspected promptly to locate and repair the leak.
