Belt Replacement
Fan belts (or drive belts) dry out and crack over time. If you hear squealing or see wear, visit A&R Auto & EngineWorks in Charlotte for expert belt inspection and replacement using quality parts.
Factory Scheduled Maintenance
Automakers provide a service schedule for each vehicle. Our Charlotte technicians follow this closely for gas and diesel vehicles, domestic or import, to ensure long-term performance.
Hose Replacement
Cracked, dry hoses can leak coolant and cause overheating and prevent optimum performance. We inspect and replace worn hoses to keep your cooling system in top shape.
Oil, Lube & Filter Changes
Most vehicles need oil and filter changes every 3,000 to 7,500 miles. We provide full oil, lube, and filter service at A&R Auto & EngineWorks to prevent wear and overheating.
Oil Filter FAQs
How often should oil filters be changed?
Consult your owner's manual to determine the recommended maintenance interval for your vehicle's oil filter. Some manufacturers recommend replacing the oil filter every time you get an oil change, while others may recommend replacing it every other oil change.
Why is water leaking on my foot on the driver's side?
The most common cause is a blocked air conditioning drain hose. This is typically a simple repair at A&R Auto & EngineWorks. Other possible causes of water leaking onto the driver's side floor include a damaged door seal or a leaking heat exchanger. Our technicians can inspect the source of the leak and determine the appropriate repair.
Why is my car leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?
If there is a sweet-smelling fluid leaking from your vehicle, coolant or antifreeze may be the source. A coolant leak can become a serious problem if left unaddressed. If your vehicle gets too low on coolant or antifreeze, the engine can overheat and potentially suffer engine damage. Have the vehicle inspected promptly to locate and repair the leak.
FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles
Why are my wheels making a chirping sound when I accelerate?
The most common reason your car's wheels make a chirping or squealing sound, especially during acceleration, is a bad wheel bearing. If you notice a grinding or grating noise coming from a wheel, this can also be a sign that a wheel bearing is beginning to fail. If you're in Charlotte, Bank of America Stadium, 1-85, 1-77, or the surrounding area, come by A&R Auto & EngineWorks and we can diagnose the problem quickly.
Why does my car make a noise when I turn the steering wheel?
If your car makes strange sounds or clicking noises when you turn the steering wheel, one possible cause is low power steering fluid. As the fluid level drops, air can enter the power steering system and cause unwanted noises.
Come to A&R Auto & EngineWorks to have the power steering system inspected and the fluid level checked. If the noise returns quickly after the fluid is topped off, your vehicle may have a power steering fluid leak. Our professionals in Charlotte can diagnose the source of the problem and recommend the appropriate repair.
Why is my car making a squealing noise?
A squealing or chirping noise may be caused by a slipping or misaligned belt. These noises can occur when a belt and pulley are not properly aligned or when the belt is becoming worn. If you come by A&R Auto & EngineWorks in Charlotte, our professional auto repair technicians can inspect the belt and pulley system, determine the source of the noise, and make the necessary repairs before the belt fails completely.

What Our Customers Are Saying
The people in the office were nice and professional and the mechanics are top notch.
Charlotte, NC
Don't be misled by the rather shabby office and the motley crew, these folks do good work. I had a bad engine overheat from a blown coolant valve that led to melted gaskets and a warped cylinder head in an older car, and Anthony and his people had it running like new. They could use an office manager and a waiting room, but the mechanics are top notch and cost competitive.
Charlotte, NC
If your looking for an honest repair shop, well you've found it. Awesome people, great repair work, and they have an awesome warranty. I would recommend this company to anyone.
