Services
BG Brake Service
Our BG Brake Service restores braking performance by replacing contaminated fluid with high-quality BG brake fluid. This prevents corrosion, ensures quieter operation, and extends brake system lifespan. The service includes a comprehensive flush and is backed by the Lifetime BG Protection Plan. Regular maintenance every 30,000 miles prevents costly repairs and maintains safety.
BG Cooling System Service
This service removes rust and debris from cooling systems using specialized BG products. Fresh coolant and conditioner protect against corrosion while restoring proper heat dissipation. Recommended every 30,000 miles or when coolant tests acidic, it prevents overheating and extends engine life. The process includes a complete fluid exchange using advanced flushing equipment.
BG Transmission Service
Using BG Quick Clean and synthetic fluids, we remove deposits and replace worn transmission fluid. This extends transmission life, improves shifting smoothness, and prevents heat-related damage. The service includes a machine-assisted fluid exchange and is recommended every 30,000 miles or for vehicles used in severe conditions like towing.
Time To Shine Car Wash
Our 24/7 car wash facility offers multiple options including touch-less automatic and self-service bays. Features include Turtle Wax treatments, high-pressure cleaning, and spot-free rinses. Members receive $2 discounts and a free birthday wash. The extra-large bay accommodates motorhomes with 11-foot clearance and accepts cash or credit payments.
BG Engine Performance Service
This three-part service uses BG Platinum 44K and EPR to dissolve engine deposits and restore fuel efficiency. The process includes crankcase treatment, oil change with MOA additive, and fuel system cleaning. Recommended every 10,000 miles, it reduces wear, restores power, and prevents expensive repairs while improving throttle response and fuel economy.
