90,000 Mile Service

Welcome to Parkway Car Care, the premier Rowlett auto repair shop. We offer comprehensive automotive maintenance and repair services. The 90,000-mile service is one of the most important services since, for many vehicles, it involves timing belt replacement.

Actually, your vehicle is reaching its midlife – and manufacturers recommend extensive inspections, as well as replacement of many components. When you bring your vehicle in for a 90k miles service, we will perform inspections as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer for your particular make and model.

If your vehicle has a timing belt and it had not been replaced at the 60k service, now is the time to get it done – it’s getting old enough that there is a real possibility that your vehicle will suffer a broken timing belt, which in turn can cause serious engine damage. If your vehicle has a timing chain, replacement is not indicated unless the timing chain is stretched. Timing chains rarely break, but they can stretch over time, throwing off the timing of pistons and valves, which can also result in engine damage. So we will inspect the timing chain to ensure it’s at the correct tension.

Naturally, we will also inspect other subsystems of the vehicle, including the brake system, belts, hoses, and spark plugs (which often get replaced at the 90k service), as well as the suspension, shocks, or struts. We will look over the steering system, check tires for uneven wear, adjust tire pressure, perform tire rotation, and may recommend fluid replacements.

The 90,000-mile service is a major undertaking, especially if the timing belt replacement is involved. Most professional shops recommend water pump replacement along with the timing belt replacement since most of the cost is in the labor – and we already have access to the area because of the timing belt replacement – so replacing the water pump at the same time saves you hundreds of dollars in labor costs.

At Parkway Car Care, we provide superior customer service, and any repairs performed during the 90k service are backed by our nationwide 36-month / 36,000-mile warranty. So if your vehicle is approaching 90,000 miles, give us a call. We can schedule an appointment time that’s convenient for you, and when your car is undergoing inspections and repairs, we will keep you up to date and send you an electronic copy of the digital inspection results.
