FAQ'S

What parts should be replaced at what intervals?

Your owner’s manual provides all necessary information regarding what parts to replace and when to do it. Read it thoroughly and note any exceptions or severe service notations. Warranties are there to protect the consumer, but you must follow the requirements. If you have questions about warranties, please contact us.

Should I consider using synthetic motor oil?

Synthetic engine oils are produced through a synthesis process that takes very small molecules and assembles them into larger designer molecules with premium lubricating properties.

How do I keep track of routine maintenance?

Keep a maintenance schedule. Doing so helps you plan for services that prolong the life of your vehicle, reduce vehicle failures, and gain you peace of mind. If you'd prefer, we can maintain the schedule for you.

When do I need to replace my belts and hoses?

If you can see cracks in your belts, it is time to have them replaced. We recommend replacing your belts and hoses at least every three to four years. If your hoses look swollen or soft that could be an indicator that they need to be replaced. However, hoses can deteriorate on the inside and if this happens there is no visual evidence that the hose needs to be changed.

How often should I consider maintenance checkup?

This depends on the type of spark plugs that are in your car. Older cars (15-20 years old) are more likely to have standard plugs and they last 12,000-15,000 kilometeres, newer models up to the year 2000 are platinum tipped and will last 30,000 kilometeres. Some 2000 and newer have iridium tipped plugs and will go 90,000 to 100,000 kilometeres.

Wade and his team provide outstanding service for my Audi and at the best price. They are so honest, friendly and knowledgeable. I have taken my car to Wade for large repairs (including rats eating my wires) and quick stops for a engine check and a light bulb replacement. I feel so well taken care -- I wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

Lynn V
STRATEGY OFFICER

I have been taking my cars to Wade at Master Automotive forever -it has been almost 17 years already. He always did an outstanding job and was happy to explain any work. I feel very confident that I am getting the real story. There have been times I know he could have told me something needed fixing, but instead he told me I still had life and did not pressure a fix.

Jordan BANFIELD
GROWTH OFFICER

We've taken our car to Waid a few times recently and it seems he's always gone the extra mile to reduce our repair bill, either by flat out not charging us for extra work, extra cost, or extra diagnosis time, or spending extra time taking apart something he could have just broken off and charged us more to replace extra parts.

Matthew Mucklo
FINANCIAL OFFICER

Also I am great full for taking the car to the dealership to have a computer diagnostic check and reprogram of some vital repair they had done for us . They went out of their way to give customer satisfaction and good service. Best of all they are well above all the dealers in service and well below in cost.

Alfonso Villafuerte
STRATEGY OFFICER

So of course my Porsche had more issues, after all it is 15 years old. Well it finally died, I think I took the phrase of "driving the car until it dies" too literal. My car overheated and I had it towed to Master Automotive of course. Waid at Master Automotive was his usual magnificent self and told me the truth,
