Our basic auto maintenance services include:

30/60/90K Mileage Maintenance
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:

  • Fluid replacements

  • Inspection of parts and systems - gears, tires, brake pads, belts, hoses, etc.

Belt Replacement
Fan belts (or drive belts) dry out and crack over time. If you hear squealing or see wear, visit Highlands Auto Center in Dallas 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 Dallas for quick code reading and diagnostics. At Highlands Auto Center, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you.

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.

Headlight and Bulb Replacement
If your bulbs are dim or out, it's time for a replacement. Our Dallas 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, Lube & Filter Changes

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 Highlands Auto Center. 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 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 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 Highlands Auto Center 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 Dallas 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 Highlands Auto Center in Dallas, 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.

Reviews

Read Our Five Star Reviews

This is one of the fairest, honest, trustworthy auto repair shops that I have ever visited. I began having issues with my Honda Accord. I visited at the least two other completely unrelated auto repair shops in the DFW, paid for diagnostics and was advised of other mechanical needs necessary for maintenance (that I actually paid for) but, nothing that pertained to the issue. Paid for “possible” solutions but, nothing that was done prior ever resolved the matter. I was dealing with an intermittent mechanical problem. I brought my car to Highland Auto and was treated extremely fair. I needed to visit the shop twice (intermittent issue). The first visit, a solution was found but needed additional work. Because of my prior attempts to have my car repaired resulted with the same issue, I figured that there would not be a fix. Highland Auto took the extra steps, found out exactly what the issue was and REPAIRED my car. I waited over 1 month just to make sure that the intermittent issue was actually resolved. It has been a little over a month now and I can factually say..it is fixed. To add, this repair shop provided the reassurance every step of the way. They also provided a courtesy vehicle while my car was in their shop being repaired. This took so much stress off my transportation concerns. Shockingly amazing and very fair company. Thank you Highland Auto!. You have no idea how much your positivity, fairness, and honesty and matters!
