Fremont Auto Repair

The check engine light is something that you can expect your Toyota to illuminate once or twice while you own it- fortunately it does not have to mean a major repair or a serious problem. While the check engine light can mean real trouble – serious engine problems or failed catalytic converter, there are many cases when the check engine light simply tells you that a routine maintenance was not performed and needs to be done. At Fremont Auto Center we offer comprehensive check engine light diagnostics and repairs. The perfect example is spark plugs replacement. If your Toyota’s spark plugs are replaced on schedule, no warning lights will come on. But if the spark plugs are well past their prime, eventually they will fail to perform to standard, and the onboard computer will illuminate the check engine light. If the spark plugs are in really bad shape, you may notice engine misfires – and those for sure will cause the check engine light to come “on”. So if ... read more

Keeping your Honda CR-V running smoothly isn’t just about convenience—it’s about protecting your investment, reliability and staying safe on the road. At Fremont Auto Center we’ve spent years helping CR-V owners keep their vehicles in top condition, and we’ve seen firsthand how proper maintenance prevents costly repairs down the line – especially when you own a high quality vehicle like a Honda. Our goal is simple: give you dependable service, high quality workmanship, and lasting peace of mind. Routine oil changes and manufacturer recommended services are  the heart of CR-V maintenance. Most models benefit from an oil change, oil filter change, tire rotation, and a digital vehicle inspection every 5,000 miles, or about twice a year. These visits help to extend engine life, keep the tires wearing evenly, and give us an opportunity to spot developing issues in their early stages.. As mileage climbs, more involved services—like transmission ... read more

If your Honda Accord doesn’t ride as smoothly as it used to, your suspension might be trying to tell you something. The suspension does more than just keep your drive comfortable—it’s what keeps your tires firmly on the road, your handling sharp, and your safety intact. At Fremont Auto Center, we help Honda owners restore their cars’ balance, comfort, and control with expert suspension repair and maintenance. Over time, suspension components like shocks, struts, and control arms wear down due to constant movement and road impact. You might notice your Accord bouncing excessively after hitting bumps, leaning too much when turning, or feeling unstable at higher speeds. Uneven tire wear, steering noise, or a rough ride are also clear warning signs that it’s time to have the suspension inspected. Ignoring these symptoms will not help, they will not go away, they will only get worse. At Fremont Auto Center your Honda Accord is handled by nationally ASE-certif ... read more

When the world gets cold, car batteries die. It’s just the nature of the beast – in warm weather, even a marginal car battery can hold enough charge to start your car’s engine. But when the cold fronts roll in, weak or old batteries no longer store enough electricity to start the engine. So if your car’s battery is 3 years or older, or if you sensed any hesitation when trying to start your vehicle, make an appointment for a battery check. Our nationally ASE-certified technicians will test the battery and determine if it’s healthy enough last through the winter. At Fremont Auto Center we highly recommend a pre-winter check for your vehicle, and battery is one of the key items on the list. If the battery is weak, it may not have been noticeable during the warm weather, but the last thing you want is to be stranded somewhere in a storm, all because your car’s battery did not hold enough energy to start your car. If a replacement is necessary, we will f ... read more

  Tesla vehicles are very popular around the Bay Area, and Fremont is no exception. Built to last, your Tesla will require service from time to time, including brake rotors replacement. Even though Tesla regenerative braking makes brake rotors last much longer than on an internal combustion engine vehicle, over time the brake rotors will wear out and will need replacement. At Fremont Auto Center we offer broad range of Tesla brake services, including brake rotors replacement. When you bring your vehicle to us, we will inspect the rotors in order to ascertain if they need replacement. If it turns out that rotor replacement is necessary, our nationally ASE-certified technicians will use high quality parts to replace the rotors, and after replacement will take your Tesla for a test drive, to make sure the brakes function correctly under real world driving conditions. So next time your Tesla needs brake service, including rotor replacement, call Fremont Auto Center for a convenient ... read more

The first heatwave of the Spring is over, and we can expect a heatwave or two before the Summer officially starts. Avoid the summer rush by bringing your vehicle to Fremont Auto Center now, to get the a/c checked out before the Summer. Yes, you can do the basic check at home - turn on the a/c in your car and feel the cold air. But this is not a substitute for a professional a/c inspection and evaluation. This is especially important if you plan a summer trip that will take you into the Wild Blue Yonder – where auto repair shops are scarce. As a matter of fact, a/c inspection should be a subset of a thorough car checkup before you head out into the wilderness. Auto a/c system can fail to keep you cool for many reasons: low refrigerant levels, cracked hoses, faulty sensors, leaks, blower motor fuse or relay failing – plenty of things to go wrong, and usually at the worst possible time. That’s why at Fremont Auto Center we offer comprehensive auto ac checkup performed b ... read more

As the weather gets cold, it’s time to get your vehicle ready for winter driving. At Fremont Auto Center we recommend having a battery check, heating and defrosting system check, tire inspection and rotation, as well as brake system inspection, lights check, and windshield wipers check. With the coming rains, tires become a safety item. Worn out tires increase probability of hydroplaning and loss of control over the vehicle. Bald tires also increase braking distance and probability of a spinout. At Fremont Auto Center we can inspect your tires and will let you know if we see any cause for concern. If we do, we can provide replacement tire(s) if needed. Battery check is also highly recommended – cold weather makes car batteries less effective, so a battery that worked fine in the summer might not be able to hold the charge in cold weather, potentially leaving you stranded. We can verify that the battery can hold sufficient charge to provide the electrical energy to start y ... read more
