Keeping track of maintenance done on your fleet vehicles and commercial trucks is one of the most important aspects of fleet management. At Griffis Automotive Repair, Inc in Orlando, FL, we track maintenance and repairs for a number of reasons. Here’s why:

If your car has climate control, then it also has a cabin filter. Cabin filters are simply air filters for the interior of your car, truck, or SUV. All air entering circulation through the climate control system first passes through this filter, to prevent your AC or heat systems from accumulating debris or blowing them out of your vents. The result is cleaner, quieter, and longer-lasting climate control systems, which keep the inside of your car as comfortable as possible.

Exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, and mufflers are exposed to heat, emissions, and road damage. While your exhaust system is fairly simple and straightforward, these conditions mean it is inherently prone to rust and damage. As a result, this system is often one of the first systems you will have trouble with inside your car. The exhaust system is complex and completely necessary for your vehicle to run efficiently.

For obvious reasons, air brakes are an essential part of your rig. They also add a level of complication to the braking system that a conventional vehicle doesn’t have. At Griffis Automotive Repair, Inc in Orlando, our mechanics have the knowledge, equipment, and ability necessary to keep your air brakes in top shape.

The differentials on your Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge diesel pickup are some of the hardest working components on your truck. At Griffis Automotive Repair, Inc in Orlando, FL, our technicians are experts in maintaining, repairing, and replacing differentials, keeping your truck reliably on the road.

It is often the last thing you check and statistically, most people ignore their tires, yet tires are undoubtedly a critical safety component on a vehicle. Here at Griffis Automotive Repair, Inc in Orlando, FL, we know where the rubber meets the road affects traction, handling, steering, stability, and braking. Because of this, sudden tire failure can have serious consequences, especially if it occurs when operating at high speeds. We thought it important to share the real facts about tires for our area drivers.

Ride quality is an essential part of your driving experience. At Griffis Automotive Repair, Inc in Orlando, we strive to keep your car, truck, or SUV as smooth and comfortable to drive as the day it came off the lot. Your shock absorbers play a huge role in ride quality; here’s what you should know.

Increasingly, technology in automobiles is becoming more sophisticated, and more and more systems have become reliant on electronic control modules to operate. At Griffis Automotive Repair, Inc in Orlando, FL, we have the trained technicians and the equipment necessary to deal with issues that arise as a result of these components.
