A Genesis service is different from a service at an independent mechanic. Our technicians are Genesis-trained, which makes them experts at investigating, identifying, and fixing any possible issue. Their specialist knowledge enables them to identify potential situations that could become future problems. We also only use Genesis-approved parts in all repairs. As your Genesis dealer, we’d like to tell you about some of our services.
Types of Genesis Service at Your Genesis Dealer
Fluid Checks
Your Genesis contains many different fluids besides fuel. These fluids include coolant, oil, transmission fluid, and brake fluid. Some of these fluids, oil, are slowly consumed as they work. Each of these fluids has an important role in your vehicle’s performance. All these fluids will eventually need replacement as their condition slowly degrades.
Old coolant, for example, becomes corrosive, and it can damage your cooling system. Old transmission fluid provides less hydraulic power than it should, and this will cause transmission shifting problems. During a fluid check, we draw some of the relevant fluid and test its condition to determine if there are any other issues. We then drain and replace the old fluid. We also remove and replace any filters.
Brake Servicing
When you hit the brakes, they should engage almost instantaneously and bring your Genesis to a stop. Over time, brake components can become worn, rusted, or damaged. Damaged components will reduce your braking speed. In addition, certain parts of the system need to be replaced regularly, like the brake pads and brake fluid.
A brake service involves checking every part of the braking system. Our technicians examine the brake master cylinder, which controls your brakes. They check the condition of metal brake lines and rubber brake hoses and replace the brake fluid. The brake calipers, rotors, and brake pads are checked for signs of damage. After a brake service, you can confidently drive away, knowing that your brakes are in excellent working condition again.
Starter Replacement
The starter is responsible for physically cranking your engine. When you punch the start button, an electrical charge is sent from the battery to the starter solenoid. The solenoid then powers the starter, which cranks the engine to enable the combustion process to begin. A problem with the starter is serious, as a failed starter will prevent your Genesis from moving.
The starter can fail, and we’ll replace it to fix this problem. It’s more common, however, for the starter solenoid to wear out. If this happens, the damaged solenoid will receive power from the battery but won’t pass it to the starter. We’ll examine the solenoid and install a new one to enable the starter to work normally again.
Booking a service is quick, and your Genesis will receive the standard of care it deserves. Contact us today at Genesis of Waipio in Waipahu, HI.
