Ford

Chevy

No matter which truck you drive, our team provides the maintenance and repairs needed to keep it dependable.

Our Services

Engine Diagnostics

We service gas platforms from Ford, Chevy, and Dodge. If your truck is low on power, running rough, or throwing warning lights, we use advanced diagnostics to get to the root of the problem quickly and accurately.

Suspension & Steering Repairs

Trucks are hard on suspension components, especially if they’re lifted or used for hauling. We repair control arms, ball joints, tie rods, and shocks to restore proper handling, reduce tire wear, and keep your ride feeling stable.

Brake Repair

Brakes wear faster when trucks tow or carry heavy loads. We inspect and replace pads, rotors, calipers, and hydraulic components using high-quality parts that match your truck’s demands.

Fluid Services & Maintenance

We offer fluid services, including transmission, coolant, brake, and differential fluids using OE or equivalent products. These services help prevent overheating, reduce wear, and extend the life of critical systems.

Transmission Service & Repair

Whether you’re dealing with hard shifts, slipping, or warning lights, we diagnose and repair transmission issues with care. When needed, we install rebuilt or remanufactured transmissions and back our work with a strong warranty.

The Most Frequent Issues We See on Trucks

Trucks are built to work hard, but that workload takes a toll over time. Whether you’re towing, hauling, or navigating job sites, your truck’s components can wear out faster than in a typical car. Here are the most common issues we address for light-duty trucks at Tanzillo Automotive.

Suspension Wear or Noises

Rough roads, heavy loads, and job site driving can wear down suspension components fast. We repair ball joints, control arms, tie rods, and shocks to keep your truck riding smoothly and safely.

Brake Issues Under Load

Towing and hauling put more pressure on your brakes. We inspect and replace pads, rotors, and hardware to make sure you have solid, reliable stopping power when it matters most.

Engine Performance Problems

Misfires, overheating, and power loss are all signs that something’s off. We run thorough diagnostics and make repairs to keep your gas engine running strong.

Check Engine Lights & Electrical Faults

Warning lights and electrical issues don’t have to be a mystery. We use advanced scan tools to find and fix sensor faults, charging problems, and more.

Transmission & Drivetrain Concerns

Slipping, hard shifts, or leaks? We service and repair transmissions and drivetrains with care and offer replacements when needed, backed by warranty.
