  • Oil Change Service in San Jose

    How often should you get your oil changed? Changing the engine oil and filter of your vehicle at the right intervals is important to protect the engine from premature wear and tear. Most auto manufacturers give recommendations on how often a car owner should change their oil and filter to prolong the life of the car’s engine. We, at B&C Auto Center can help you with your vehicle’s oil and filter change. Being one of the leading centers for San Jose auto repair and maintenance service, we offer oil and filter change service as well as different car repair jobs for all foreign and domestic cars. We advise our customers on when they should change their vehicle’s oil and filter so that the engine will run efficiently for many years to come. Some auto manufacturers recommend changing the oil once a year or every 7,500 miles. However, most auto experts, aftermarket service professionals suggest that it is always better to follow the three months-3,000 miles schedule, especially when you are using your vehicle in severe driving conditions. This is the reason why most auto manufacturers provide the "Severe Service" maintenance schedule in the car owner's manual, recommending oil and filter change intervals of three to six months or 3,000 miles. However, many car owners are not aware of what calls for ‘severe service’. Severe driving conditions that require oil and filter change every three months or 3,000 miles include the following: Making frequent short trips (less than five miles) Making frequent short trips (less than 10 miles) when temperature is at or below freezing Driving in stop-and-go traffic (common in most crowded cities) Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long periods of time (taxi, police, door-to-door delivery, etc.) Driving at sustained high speeds during hot weather; it leads to viscosity breakdown Towing a trailer Driving in dusty conditions like gravel roads, construction zones, or where dust particles can easily get accumulated in the crankcase Such driving conditions call for severe service of your vehicle. Even if you use protective additives in the motor oil, it will not provide protection in such driving conditions. Remember, if your engine is not allowed to run long enough, it will not get the oil hot. As a result, fuel vapors and moisture will not boil off, leading to accumulation of contaminants in the crankcase. Formation of corrosive acids and sludge buildup will result. The expert auto mechanics and auto repair technicians in our San Jose center also recommend regular oil changes for preventive maintenance. In fact, they think it is the most economical insurance you can get against engine wear and tear. It can help you save money in the long run by reducing the possibility of more costly engine repairs When it comes to replacing the filter, we suggest that it too needs to be changed every time you change the oil. And there are reasons- first, the filter contains dirty oil that can contaminate fresh oil added during an oil change; and second, the pint-sized filters do not contain as much filter material as their quart-sized counterparts. Call or email us today at 408-457-1184 or info@bcautocenter.com and schedule your vehicle’s next oil and filter change. An engine that has been well maintained with regular oil and filter changes will require you to spend less on its maintenance, repair or service!

  • Timing Belt Replacement and Service

    A timing belt, like other auto parts, is a critical component required for efficient and/or reliable functioning of your car. Located on the front of the engine under a plastic or metal cover, timing belts ensure consistent operation of the crankshaft, camshaft, and valves in a proper sequence. While most engines in earlier times featured timing chains, today’s engines make use of much lighter, quieter and more efficient timing belts. Like other auto components, timing belts can also wear out and deteriorate over a period of time. So, as a car owner you need replace it at intervals according to manufacturer’s recommendations. If the timing belt on your car breaks the engine will stop and you will be stranded. To avoid it, you need to adopt a preventive maintenance approach. We at B&C Auto Center in San Jose can replace your vehicle’s timing belt efficiently at regular intervals, as per the replacement schedule recommended by the auto manufacturer and listed in the owner’s manual. We are one of the leading auto repair and maintenance service providers in the San Jose area. Our technicians are trained to perform any kind of car repair and tune up your vehicle to restore its optimal performance. According to most auto experts and aftermarket service professionals, timing belt replacement needs to be done on a scheduled basis (at regular intervals), as it is not possible for a car owner to visually inspect a timing belt. Also, it requires the services of an expert car mechanic for it to be done efficiently and correctly. We, at B&C Auto Center, have years of experience in auto repair and service and will perform any automotive repair on your car with the highest quality and care. Once your car gets out of our San Jose auto repair shop, you can rest assured it will be running in optimum condition. In the context of timing belt failure, it is important to understand the difference between a ‘free-running’ engine and an ‘interference’ engine. In case of a ‘free-running’ engine, the engine stops without any mechanical damage in the event of the breaking of the timing belt. You only need to get a new belt installed to get your car moving. However, this is not the case with an ‘interference’ engine. When the timing belt breaks, it may result in mechanical engine damage that may require an expensive repair job or even replacement of the engine. Our San Jose auto repair shop can assist you in both those situations. In most cases, the quotes for timing belt replacement in Willow Glen are based on installing a new timing belt, timing belt tensioner, and accessory drive belt/s. Once the timing belt cover is removed our technicians are trained to inspect related components such as the water pump, idler pulley/s, and oil seals that are not generally visible before disassembly. We will give you an estimate of the repairs needed for your vehicle when it is brought in for inspection. If you are looking for a car service provider in the San Jose area with a reliable automotive maintenance and repair record, get in touch with the professionals at B&C Auto Center. Call or email us today at 408-457-1184 or info@bcautocenter.com to get all your questions related to timing belt replacement or any other car repair service answered.
