Everyday Work at Auto Tech: What We Do All Day, Every Day

At Auto Tech in Martinsville, VA, most repairs aren’t dramatic—they’re the everyday services that keep your car safe, comfortable, and reliable. Here’s a look at a normal day in our shop and why these basics matter.


1) Oil Service + Multi-Point Inspection

During an oil change, our techs don’t just swap the filter and send you on your way. We check brake pad thickness, look for suspension wear, and spot leaks before they become big repairs. Catching small issues early saves you time and money.

Common items we check during an oil service:

  • Brake pads & rotors
  • Suspension/steering components
  • Fluids & filters
  • Tire wear and PSI
  • Lights, wipers, and general safety items


2) Tire Rotation & Proper Air Pressure

Tire rotations help your tires wear evenly and last longer. We also set your tire pressure to the manufacturer specification (including the spare when accessible). Proper PSI improves braking, fuel economy, and ride comfort.

Tip: If your steering wheel is off-center or your tires show uneven wear, ask about an alignment during your visit.


3) Battery & Charging System Check

A quick battery test tells us how well your battery cranks and how your alternator is charging. If your car is slow to start, your lights dim, or electronics act up, it may be time for a battery replacement or terminal/ground cleaning.
