You may have heard the term CV axle before in reference to your car but aren’t entirely sure what it means. Here’s your answer, from R & D Automotive Specialists, Inc in Lacombe, LA, as well as a guide to determining if yours need replacement.

SUV parked on a dirt road

At R & D Automotive Specialists, Inc in Lacombe, LA, we aim to keep your four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive car, truck, or SUV ready for anything. 4X4 systems are pretty low maintenance, but equally as important to maintain as your engine or transmission. At R & D Automotive Specialists, Inc our technicians have the tools and knowledge to help keep yours going strong.

coolant being poured into the car

Whether you drive a BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche (some exclusions apply), Subaru, or other performance automobiles, your car has a cooling system. With winter right around the corner, at R & D Automotive Specialists, Inc we want to make sure your cooling system is ready for the cold.

brake parts

One of the more annoying issues a car, truck, or SUV will develop is a grinding or scraping sound when you hit the brakes. What is it, and how do you make it stop? At R & D Automotive Specialists, Inc in Lacombe, LA we have the answer.

vehicle with smoke coming out the back

No matter what type of fleet vehicles or commercial trucks you maintain, the fuel system on your diesel is an integral part of keeping you on the road. Gas systems are pretty simple - there’s basically just a pump that pushes gasoline to the injectors. Diesels are a bit more complicated.

fleet of vehicles

At R & D Automotive Specialists, Inc in Lacombe, LA, we understand that no matter how well something is maintained, everything breaks eventually. Fortunately, our team of expert mechanics can repair just about anything, saving your business a lot of money in the process.

Tire being balanced in auto shop

Once your new tires are mounted and balanced, you’ll want to keep them in good shape. To get the most out of your tires, inspect them regularly and keep up with maintenance - the difference between a tire that lasts 100k miles, and one that lasts 10k, mostly comes down to how well it’s been taken care of.

Your fleet or commercial truck works hard, every day. Most commercial vehicles are heavy, and constantly under load. As a result, your brakes will inevitably develop issues over time. At R & D Automotive Specialists, Inc in Lacombe, LA, we can fix that.
