How Do You Know When Your Vehicle Needs Professional Service?
Your vehicle communicates problems before they become expensive breakdowns or leave you stranded on Arkansas highways.
Dashboard warning lights indicate your vehicle’s computer system detected a malfunction. Our professional diagnostic equipment reads these codes and identifies the specific component or system requiring attention – from oxygen sensors and catalytic converters to transmission control modules and ABS systems.
Loss of power or performance reveals developing engine problems. Difficulty accelerating, hesitation during acceleration, or rough idling indicate fuel system issues, ignition problems, or engine wear. Addressing performance changes promptly prevents minor issues from causing major engine damage.
Unusual noises signal mechanical components wearing or failing. Squealing when braking suggests worn brake pads need replacement before rotor damage occurs. Grinding during braking indicates metal-on-metal contact requiring immediate attention. Knocking from the engine may indicate serious internal problems. Clicking during turns often points to CV joint wear on front-wheel-drive vehicles.
Fluid leaks underneath your parked vehicle indicate seal failures or system damage requiring prompt attention. Reddish fluid suggests transmission problems; green or orange typically indicates coolant leaks; dark brown or black points to oil leaks; clear fluid might be normal AC condensation but could indicate brake fluid loss. Any persistent leak requires professional diagnosis.

What Maintenance Schedule Should You Follow?
Vehicle manufacturers design specific maintenance schedules based on extensive component testing. Following these schedules prevents premature wear and maintains warranty coverage.
Most Arkansas drivers fall into “severe” service conditions requiring more frequent maintenance intervals. Severe conditions include: frequent short trips under 5 miles, stop-and-go traffic, dusty or dirty environments, trailer towing, or extreme temperatures – all common in Arkansas driving patterns.
Key maintenance intervals include:
- Oil changes – Every 5,000-7,500 miles for conventional oil; 7,500-10,000 miles for full synthetic (we recommend full synthetic for Arkansas’s heat)
- Tire rotation – Every 5,000-7,000 miles ensures even wear
- Air filter replacement – Every 15,000-30,000 miles depending on conditions (more frequent in dusty rural areas)
- Brake fluid flush – Every 3 years prevents moisture-related corrosion in our humid climate
- Coolant exchange – Follow manufacturer intervals, typically 30,000-100,000 miles depending on coolant type
- Transmission service – Every 30,000-60,000 miles for most vehicles (more frequent for towing)
- Spark plug replacement – Every 30,000-100,000 miles depending on plug type
- Timing belt replacement – Every 60,000-100,000 miles for engines equipped (failure causes catastrophic engine damage)
- Differential service – Every 30,000-50,000 miles for 4WD/AWD vehicles
We maintain digital service records across all locations and can provide maintenance interval reminders via text or email.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if your recommendations are necessary?
We show you exactly what we find through our digital inspection process with photos. You see the worn brake pad, deteriorated belt, or leaking component yourself. We explain why each recommended service matters for safety or preventing future failures, then let you decide. Our long-term presence serving Central Arkansas depends on honest service building customer relationships, not maximizing single-visit revenue.
Can I use the same gift certificate at any location?
Yes, gift certificates are valid at all three Moore & Robinson locations – Fairway Ave, Cantrell Road, and Markham Road. They can be used for any service we offer, from oil changes and tire rotations to major repairs. Gift certificates make excellent gifts for new drivers, family members, or employee recognition.
Can I wait while you service my vehicle?
For routine services like oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections, most customers wait in our comfortable areas with WiFi. Larger repairs, diagnostic work, or services requiring parts ordering benefit from drop-off service. We’ll call with findings and updates, then contact you when your vehicle is ready. With three locations, we can sometimes accommodate pick-up at a different location along your route if that’s more convenient.
What if you find problems that exceed my budget right now?
We prioritize all findings into three categories: immediate safety concerns requiring prompt attention, recommended preventative maintenance, and items to monitor over time. If immediate repairs exceed your budget, we clearly explain which items pose safety risks or risk causing additional damage if delayed, and which can wait safely. Many customers address critical issues first, then schedule additional maintenance as budget allows. We’ll never pressure you or hold your vehicle for services you haven’t approved.
Do you work on all vehicle makes and models?
Our shops are equipped with professional-grade diagnostic equipment compatible with all vehicle makes and models from 1996 forward (OBD-II standard). Our ASE-certified technicians receive ongoing training on evolving vehicle technology across all major manufacturers, including hybrid systems, turbocharged engines, advanced driver assistance features, and modern electronic systems. We maintain manufacturer service specifications for all common vehicles in Central Arkansas.
How long will my vehicle be in the shop?
Routine services like oil changes typically take 30-45 minutes. Brake jobs usually require 2-3 hours. More complex repairs requiring diagnostic time, parts ordering, or multiple system work may need a full day or occasionally longer. When you schedule service, we provide an estimated completion time based on the specific work needed. We contact you promptly if timing changes or if we discover additional issues requiring discussion. Same-day service is available for many common repairs when you call ahead.
