Spark Plugs Replacement in Fremont, CA Engine misfires, check engine light, sluggish acceleration - these symptoms often accompany spark plugs that need replacement. Normal lifespan of your vehicle's spark plugs can range between 30,000 miles to 90,000 miles, and it depends on the materials used to manufacture spark plugs installed in your vehicle.

We all know that tires wear out with use. The more you drive, the faster they will wear out. Many tire manufacturers advertise 60,000 - 80,000 miles warranty. But in addition to the miles driven, your tires are also subject to the ravages of time. Tires have a limited lifespan, regardless of use. At Fremont Auto Center we recommend tire replacement every 6 years. This is a good rule-of-thumb to keep in mind as you plan maintenance for your vehicle. Not surprisingly, many tire manufacturers limit their standard tire warranty (against defects in how it was made – like sidewall failure or tread separation) to about 6 years.  Typically, your vehicle will travel around 60,000 to 70,000 miles during 6 years, so as you can see, the mileage and age numbers converge. When you bring your vehicle to our Fremont auto care facility, we will perform a tire tread check and an age check as well. We also look for uneven tire wear, which can indicate alignment problems, or failure to rotate ... read more

It has not been a good year for many EV manufacturers. Ford, GM, Honda and Stellantis wrote off billions of dollars (total around $50 billion) because electric vehicle sales fell off considerably.  Their multi-billion investment in electric vehicle manufacturing and infrastructure yielded disappointing results. In the meantime, Toyota, which only had one EV pony in the race, Toyota bZ4X, continued to make money with its hybrid lineup, and appeared uninterested in jumping into the EV fray.  But all this changed this year. While the other big automakers are all bloodied from their EV excursions, Toyota is now rolling out new versions of fully electric vehicles to fill in the gap. In addition to Toyota bZ (which is an improved bZ4X), it has also released 2026 bZ Woodland with higher ground clearance, and front and rear electric motors. Toyota C-HR EV, an all-electric version of its C-HR coupe, is becoming available at Toyota dealers in March 2026. With the 2027 model year, we ... read more

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System light, or TPMS light, is an important dashboard indicator that signals issues with your vehicle’s tire pressure or with the tire pressure monitoring system. Proper tire pressure is essential for safe handling, efficient braking, and optimal fuel economy. When the TPMS light illuminates, it’s important to get the issue handled in a timely fashion. At Fremont Auto Center we can inspect and repair TPMS problems – whether they are due to tire condition or the condition of the TPMS system itself. What the TPMS Light Indicates The TPMS light activates when one or more tires fall outside the manufacturer’s recommended pressure range. Modern vehicles use sensors to continuously monitor tire pressure and send data to the vehicle’s computer. If a sensor detects that the tire pressure fell more than 25% below manufacturer recommended pressure, the TPMS light turns on. When the light comes on, but there has been n ... read more

A torn CV boot can result in axle problems, so at Fremont Auto Center we recommend regular oil service, which at our Fremont auto repair facility includes a free digital vehicle inspection which will disclose if the CV boots on your BMW are in good working condition. During a single visit your vehicle’s engine will be provided with fresh engine oil (which extends engine life) and we will check if CV boots are doing their job. CV boots are designed to last a long time, but they can tear or break due to material fatigue and road conditions – anybody who has traveled on the Bay Area highways and local roads has experienced potholes and the overall sorry state of our roads. These conditions put additional strain on CV boots and can result in CV boot failure. When we inspect your BMW, we will look for CV boot tear or breakage, obviously. But we will also check for noisy operation or strong vibrations, as well as grease leaks. These are signs that something may be wrong with th ... read more

One of the most critical aspects of vehicle maintenance is brake fluid change. What is brake fluid? It’s the fluid that transfers (augmented) power from the brake pedal to the calipers, which press brake pads against rotors and cause vehicle to slow down and to stop. At Fremont Auto Center we recommend brake fluid change every two years. The reason for such fairly frequent change is that brake fluid deteriorates over time and it also absorbs moisture from its surroundings. As the moisture content reaches critical level, brakes will not function effectively, and in severe cases brakes may fail. At our Fremont Auto Care facility we don’t just replace the fluid willy-nilly. We will perform a test that tells us if the water content of the brake fluid is high enough to warrant replacement. Sometimes, even though the water content might not be at excessive levels, we may still recommend brake fluid replacement due to the overall condition of the brake fluid. Brake fluid is subj ... read more
