Oil Filter FAQs
How often should oil filters be changed?
Consult your owner's manual to determine the recommended maintenance interval for your vehicle's oil filter. Some manufacturers recommend replacing the oil filter every time you get an oil change, while others may recommend replacing it every other oil change.
Why is water leaking on my foot on the driver's side?
The most common cause is a blocked air conditioning drain hose. This is typically a simple repair at Skillender's Automotive Center. Other possible causes of water leaking onto the driver's side floor include a damaged door seal or a leaking heat exchanger. Our technicians can inspect the source of the leak and determine the appropriate repair.
Why is my car leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?
If there is a sweet-smelling fluid leaking from your vehicle, coolant or antifreeze may be the source. A coolant leak can become a serious problem if left unaddressed. If your vehicle gets too low on coolant or antifreeze, the engine can overheat and potentially suffer engine damage. Have the vehicle inspected promptly to locate and repair the leak.
FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles
Why are my wheels making a chirping sound when I accelerate?
The most common reason your car's wheels make a chirping or squealing sound, especially during acceleration, is a bad wheel bearing. If you notice a grinding or grating noise coming from a wheel, this can also be a sign that a wheel bearing is beginning to fail. If you're in Howell Township, New Jersey, Lakewood, West Freehold, or the surrounding area, come by Skillender's Automotive Center and we can diagnose the problem quickly.
Why does my car make a noise when I turn the steering wheel?
If your car makes strange sounds or clicking noises when you turn the steering wheel, one possible cause is low power steering fluid. As the fluid level drops, air can enter the power steering system and cause unwanted noises.
Come to Skillender's Automotive Center to have the power steering system inspected and the fluid level checked. If the noise returns quickly after the fluid is topped off, your vehicle may have a power steering fluid leak. Our professionals in Howell Township can diagnose the source of the problem and recommend the appropriate repair.
Why is my car making a squealing noise?
A squealing or chirping noise may be caused by a slipping or misaligned belt. These noises can occur when a belt and pulley are not properly aligned or when the belt is becoming worn. If you come by Skillender's Automotive Center in Howell Township, our professional auto repair technicians can inspect the belt and pulley system, determine the source of the noise, and make the necessary repairs before the belt fails completely.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
I've never left a Google review before but I feel I should. Originally took my truck to Mavis, was told they couldn't do the work, so I ended up at Skillenders. I'll never go anywhere else. Forget the corporate owned chain shops. THIS place is how all auto repair shops should be. The owner, Jacki, is personable, accommodating and honest. Her staff of mechanics are extremely knowledgeable and professional. I'm happy this place is local to me but if I lived far away, I'd still travel to get my vehicles serviced here.
Car was towed here and left running like new!! Extremely happy and impressed with their diligence, knowledge, and excellent quality of work!! Kudos!! Highly recommend!!
