Why is my check engine light on?

Your check engine light can come on for many reasons — from minor issues like a loose gas cap to more complex engine or emissions concerns. Don’t ignore it. Bring your vehicle to Keith’s Auto in Fresno or Pinedale, and we’ll run a diagnostic scan, explain the issue in plain terms, and recommend the appropriate repair so you can avoid more costly damage down the road.

What should I do if my brakes are squeaking or grinding?

Squeaking usually means worn brake pads, while grinding often means the pads are gone and metal is contacting the rotors — both are serious safety concerns. Our team at Keith’s Auto will thoroughly inspect your brake system, replace the necessary components, and ensure your vehicle stops safely.

Why do auto repair costs vary between shops?

Repair pricing can differ based on:

 

  • Labor rates
  • Parts quality (OEM vs aftermarket)
  • Warranty coverage
  • Warranty on labor

 

At Keith’s Auto, we believe in transparent pricing. You’ll always know what you’re paying for and why before any work begins.

How long will my repair take?

Repair times vary depending on the service:

 

  • Oil changes and basic maintenance: usually same-day
  • Diagnostics: depends on complexity
  • Major engine or transmission repairs: may take longer

 

We’ll provide an upfront estimate and keep you updated so you always know the status of your vehicle.

Do you offer a warranty on your work?

Yes, absolutely. Keith’s Auto stands behind every repair we perform. Our services include a parts and labor warranty, giving you peace of mind long after you leave the shop. If something isn’t right, we’ll take care of it.
