Car enthusiasts would argue that "those were the days". Everything you drove was built like a tank and had the chrome on it so you enjoyed washing it but NO power steering. For most of us, it is hard to remember life without power steering – cranking those great big steering wheels? It was a pretty good workout. Now power steering is standard. The heart of any power steering system is its pump. The pump pressurizes the power steering fluid that provides assistance for steering. Most pumps are driven by a belt that is run by the engine – a few are electrically powered. A high-pressure hose passes fluid from the pump to the steering gear. A low-pressure hose returns the fluid back to the pump. Here at Alamogordo 1 Stop Auto Services in Alamogordo, NM we know that you depend on that power steering and check your fluid & hoses religiously!
The fuel system is an integral aspect of any combustion engine, but it’s particularly important on diesel trucks.

Have you always wondered what a spark plug does? Our team here at Alamogordo 1 Stop Auto Services is here to help you out. It's simple in theory but does quite a lot of work for such a small piece of equipment. Your spark plug forces electricity to arc across a gap like a bolt of lightning at high voltage and fits into your engine's cylinder head, where it “sparks” to ignite the fuel and creates combustion within your engine. Without it, you wouldn't be able to drive your car or truck.
The differentials on your Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge diesel pickup are some of the hardest working components on your truck. At Alamogordo 1 Stop Auto Services in Alamogordo, NM, our technicians are experts in maintaining, repairing, and replacing differentials, keeping your truck reliably on the road.
