Safety on the road begins where the rubber meets the pavement. We provide extensive undercarriage services, specializing in brake system overhauls and suspension tuning.

Frequently Asked Questions: Pace Automotive

While most drivers wait for a “Check Engine” light, we recommend a diagnostic scan if you notice a drop in fuel economy or unusual engine idling. Our advanced OBD-II scanning tools can detect “pending” codes—issues that haven’t triggered a dashboard light yet but could lead to a breakdown if left unaddressed.

Minnesota winters are harsh on braking systems. The road salt and moisture used in West St. Paul can lead to premature corrosion of your brake lines and ‘pitting’ of your rotors. Regular inspections at Pace Automotive ensure that your calipers are moving freely and your pads have sufficient friction material to stop safely on icy roads.

Yes. Routine maintenance is the best way to avoid expensive engine repairs. We provide full-service oil changes, coolant flushes, and transmission fluid services. Keeping these fluids clean ensures proper lubrication and heat dissipation, which is vital for engine longevity during our sub-zero winters and humid summers.

You should bring your vehicle in as soon as possible. A flashing light usually indicates a severe misfire that could damage your catalytic converter, while a steady light indicates a secondary system fault. We will hook your car up to our diagnostic suite to identify the exact sensor or mechanical component that is failing.
