Factory Scheduled Maintenance
Automakers provide a service schedule for each vehicle. Our Dallas technicians follow this closely for gas and diesel vehicles, domestic or import, to ensure long-term performance.

Oil Filter FAQs
How often should oil filters be changed?
Consult your owner's manual to determine the maintenance interval for your vehicle's oil filter. Some manufacturers recommend that the oil filter be replaced every time you get your oil changed while others recommend every other time.
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 a simple repair at Highlands Auto Center. There are other possible causes of water dripping on your foot on the driver's side of the car including a broken door seal or leaking heat exchanger.
Why is my car leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?
If there is a sweet-smelling fluid leaking from your car, the most likely culprit is leaking coolant or antifreeze. A coolant leak can become a serious problem. If your vehicle gets too low on coolant or antifreeze, it will overheat and may cause engine damage.
FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles
Why are my wheels making a chirping sound when I accelerate?
The most common reason why 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 your wheel this can also be the sound of a wheel bearing beginning to fail. If you are in Dallas, Plano, Garland, Irving or the surrounding area, come by Highlands Auto Center 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 clicks when you turn the steering wheel the most common cause is a low steering fluid. Over time the steering fluid decreases and air enters the steering mechanism causing unwanted noises. Come to Highlands Auto Center to top off your fluid reservoir with power steering fluid. The noises should start to go away immediately. If the sound returns quickly your car could be leaking steering fluid. Our professionals in Dallas can help you diagnose and repair leaks quickly and affordably.
Why is my car making a squealing noise?
It may be a slipping fan belt. Listen for a few warning signs such as a squeaking or chirping noise. Those noises are usually caused by misalignment of the belt and the pulley. If you come by Highlands Auto Center in Dallas our professional auto repair technicians can realign it to stop the noise and fix it before your fan belt completely breaks.

I can't say enough about Chris and his entire team. Their honesty and integrity truly stood out during what could have been a very stressful situation. We brought our Land Rover in for a second opinion after my daughter had taken her vehicle to the Land Rover dealership in Dallas for a routine oil change. She was charged $450 for a high-grade oil change (which already felt excessive, as I typically pay around $250 in Connecticut), and then presented with a list of recommended repairs totaling over $5,000. What was most concerning is that there were no issues with the car prior to the visit. They claimed she needed a new battery, hoses, and several other items. It honestly felt like my daughter was being taken advantage of. I immediately researched reputable shops in the area and came across Chris. From the very first interaction, he was attentive, professional, and genuinely caring. He had my daughter bring the car in for a diagnostic and provided an honest, thorough quote. Come to find out, her car did not need any of the items the dealership had recommended. Thank you, Chris, and thank you to your entire team for your transparency, professionalism, and most importantly, your honesty. It's rare to find a business you can truly trust, and we are incredibly grateful to have found yours. Highly recommend.

We took our 2007 Jeep Liberty in due to some engine problems. Well, they looked in over and told what I had already suspected - the engine was in bad shape and loosing oil.The owner of the garage made some phone calls and presented us with a price much lower than we expected. We had them do the job (in one and a half weeks) and one their quoted price, we've driven the Jeep for a few days now without any problems. They did a great job and I would recommend them to everyone. Thanks guys for your detail to your work and low prices. I've ad them work on all 4 cars now, we are very satisfied with the out come of each car. I even bought a used car from them -works great. Thanks again Larry F
