Electrical Services

Battery Issues

Batteries supply electric energy which powers the ignition system, the starter motor, and the lights of the vehicle. If you need to jump-start your vehicle in the morning, your battery is failing. When a battery starts deteriorating, it's time to being the vehicle in to have the battery tested to determine weather it needs to be replaced or not.

Starters

A starter is a motor (electric, hydraulic or pneumatic) that rotates the internal combustion engine to initiate the engine's operation. It is an important part of your car's engine and their failure would translate to your car's failure. When your car's starter develops problems, seek expert help.

Electronic Computer Services

Today, car manufacturers include at least one computer in motor vehicles with the main function of monitoring and adjusting engine and transmission operations. The computer receives input information from different sensors and controls spark plugs, idle speed, and fuel injectors so as to get you the best possible car performance. Failure of the car computer will greatly affect the things it controls. To get the most out of your car's computer, have it evaluated regularly for updates and proper operation. If it is already failing, have it repaired or replaced.

Drivability

Drivability is the degree of smoothness and steadiness of your car's acceleration. Most modern cars are fitted with on-board computers that continuously check the readings from various sensors. In case of drivability problems, you will receive a warning message on your car's dashboard.

Engine Controls

An engine control system is an on-board computer in your car. Like all computers, the engine controls are composed of hardware and software. Automotive engine control systems are responsible for regulating exhaust emissions, and providing increased fuel economy. To get the best out of your car's incredibly powerful technology, engine controls must be working properly.

Engine Maintenance Services

Fuel Injection

Fuel injection is a system for admitting fuel into an engine. Since 1990, fuel injectors have completely replaced carburetors as the primary means of getting gasoline into the engine. A fuel injector atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle (under high pressure). Failure of the fuel injection system means poor performance and ultimately destroys the engine. Alaska Spring & Performance will make sure your vehicle's fuel injection system is maintained properly.

Ignition

An ignition system is a system for igniting (using an electric spark) a mixture of fuel and air in a gasoline engine. A properly working ignition system means a properly starting engine and high performance from your car.

Ignition Wires & Cables

Ignition cables also known as spark plug wires are an important part of your car's ignition system. They transfer the spark from the ignition coil to spark plugs that ignite the mixture of fuel and air. The mixture starts the engine. Over time, ignition wires and cables get weak and break down. This makes it impossible for the spark to reach the engine cylinders resulting in the engine misfiring. The car will eventually fail to start. Common symptoms of faulty ignition cables and wires are: poor gas mileage,misfire, engine light is on, and engine vibration.

Spark Plugs

A spark plug delivers electric current to the combustion chamber from the ignition system. Spark plugs that haven't been changed for a long time can cause ignition problems

Heating and Cooling Services

Belts

A fan belt, also known as a drive belt, connects your car's engine to the front mounted accessories. The fan belt rotates the water pump and engine fan, which maintains a cool environment for the engine and its components. Sooner or later, your vehicle's fan belts will dry out and crack. at which point its time to have them and the tensioner replaced.

Radiators

Radiators are heat exchangers for cooling your car's internal combustion engine. A radiator cools the engine by circulating an engine coolant through the engine block - it then loses the heat to the atmosphere through radiation. A radiator has a set of tubes through which the engine coolant flows. When the radiator fails, the excess heat produced by the engine damages the engine components. To prevent this from happening, have your radiator serviced regularly.

Towing Services to the shop...

Auto breakdowns are often unavoidable - regardless of how new your car is or how carefully you drive. When your car breaks down, the best option is to have it towed to a professional auto repair shop. This way, you can be back on the road as quickly as possible. At Alaska Spring and Performance, we have a 'towing to shop only' service whereby we utilize a local company (Vulcan towing, phone #:907-349-8697) to tow your disabled car directly to our auto shop for repair.

Transmission Services

Automatic Transmissions

Automatic Transmission Automatic Transmissions shift between gears automatically to optimize driving, and changes gears based on the driver's throttle pedal, vehicle speed, engine speed, and vehicle load. Typical automatic transmissions have 4-5 forward gear ratios, a Reverse, Park, and Neutral gear. Shifting gears occur automatically once the car is in Drive and there is no need for a clutch pedal or gear shift like there is in a Manual Transmission. Automatic transmission repair is complicated based on all the components that make it up, and you need to have any automatic transmission issues properly assessed by auto mechanics. Call 907-563-3802 to talk to the mechanics of Alaska Spring and Performance about your transmission problems.

Clutches

There are clutches in both automatic and manual transmission cars, and different types of clutches. When shifting gears, the clutch engages and disengages from the flywheel and transfers the torque through the transmission. The clutch in your car receives a lot of wear and can eventually wear out. If your clutch begins slipping irregularly or is making noises that are raising suspicion , contact Alaska Spring and Performance to see if clutch replacement is necessary.

Four-Wheel Drive Transmissions

A four-wheel (4x4) drive vehicle has differential gears, both front and rear axles, and a transfer case attached to the transmission. Four-wheel drive vehicles demand maintenance on the transfer case, front differentials, rear differentials, and transmission fluids.

Front-Wheel Drive Transmissions

If your vehicle has Front-wheel drive, the engine drives the front wheels only. The power is routed through the transmission to the final drive where it is split and sent to the two front wheels through the drive axles. The engine, transmission, and additional hardware is all located in the front of the car.

Manual Transmissions

Driving a vehicle with a Manual Transmission requires using the clutch pedal and gear shift to manually shift gears based on the speed of the vehicle. Front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive are the two main configurations for manual transmissions. Typically, manual transmissions require less maintenance then automatic transmissions. At Alaska Spring and Performance, our auto mechanics can diagnose your vehicle and then recommend the transmission repair or transmission service you need to ensure safety and improve the lifetime of your vehicle.

Undercar Services

Alignment

Wheel alignment (or simply alignment) is standard car maintenance that involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the manufacturer's specifications. The main purpose is to let the suspension and the steering systems operate at their desired angles - this reduces tire wear. Alignment is a complicated process and not all mechanics get it right. To have experts handle your car's alignment, visit Alaska Spring and Performance.

Anti-Lock Brakes

Anti-lock brakes prevent wheel lock-up when rapidly decelerating by automatically modulating the brake pressure during an emergency stop. With this system, the wheels are able to maintain traction with the road while braking. Failure of the anti-lock brakes could lead to an increase in the risks of multiple vehicle crashes and run-off road crashes. To avoid this, have your anti-lock brake system checked and repaired by experts. At Alaska Spring and Performance, we have anti-lock brake experts who will examine and repair your faulty ABS - keeping you safe.

Brakes

Brakes are one of the most important parts of a motor vehicle. If your vehicle's brakes are having issues, consider having them worked on. Brake experts at Alaska Spring and Performance can work on your car's brakes to ensure you have a safe drive.

Chassis

A chassis is the car's internal framework that supports the body and other parts like the wheels, engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and suspension. A weak or damaged chassis will translate to a weak car. To have a strong and properly working vehicle, have your car's chassis checked for defects.

Exhaust

In a motor vehicle, an exhaust system is a piping used to guide exhaust fumes away from the engine - usually to the rear of the vehicle. A properly functioning exhaust system is better for you, your car, and the environment. Alaska Spring and Performance has expert technicians to service your car's exhaust system.

Driveline

A driveline is a part of your motor vehicle that connects the engine and the transmission to the wheel axles. The driveline consists of the parts of the powertrain less the engine and transmission. Failure of the driveline means that the car would not move since energy cannot be transmitted from the engine to the wheel axles. Therefore, make sure that your car's driveline is regularly inspected and serviced. And, at Alaska Spring and Performance, you can have the driveline serviced by experts.

Tires

As tires get older, they lose traction and deteriorate from the inside out, increasing the likelihood of a tire bursting. This can cause a rapid loss of control of your vehicle. To have a better performing vehicle, you need to make sure the tires are in good condition

Shocks

Shocks (or shock absorbers) are mechanical devices designed to smooth out rough roads. Properly working shocks reduce the effect of traveling over rough ground, leading to improved ride quality and vehicle handling. When shocks develop problems, driving on poorly leveled roads becomes unpleasant and your vehicle may sway when turning.
