Auto Repair, Vehicle Maintenance, and New Tires
in Waterbury, CT

The engine is the most expensive component of your vehicle, so it’s important to keep up with performance through regular tune-ups. Bring your car or truck to Monro where we’ll inspect the filters, belts, and hoses. We’ll also check your vehicle’s fluid levels. If anything needs to be adjusted or replaced, we’ll discuss it with you before completion.

Misaligned wheels and suspension can lead to faster tire wear, inefficient fuel economy, and poor overall vehicle performance. If you notice your car pulling to one side of the road, irregular tire wear, squealing tires, or a shift in steering wheel positions, stop into Monro. We’re happy to complete a FREE alignment check and only recommend services and repairs if you need them.

Shocks and struts are the parts of a vehicle’s suspension that give you a smooth, comfortable, and controlled ride. If your car has been bouncing, floating, leaning, nose diving, or you notice an increase in stopping distance, it could be time to replace your shocks and struts. Another sign includes premature tire tread wear. If you suspect your car or truck has worn out shocks and struts, bring it in to Monro. We’ll do a complete examination for performance degradation as part of our FREE courtesy inspection. In addition, it is recommended to bring your vehicle in every 50,000 miles regardless of symptoms to have your shocks and struts inspected.

Steering and suspension is the system that gives your vehicle a smooth, stable ride and guarantees appropriate ground clearance. Depending on your car’s suspension system, we’ll analyze its springs, shocks or struts, ball joints, tie rods, and other components to ensure they’re within manufacturer specification. We’ll also check your wheel alignment. If there are recommended repairs, we’ll be sure to provide an itemized written estimate before beginning any work.
