Absolutely. We have a key drop in the back of our shop in between the two garage doors. Please be sure to get any personal belongings out of your vehicle, roll your windows up, and lock the doors. While we operate in a high-traffic, safe suburban area, FREED Performance is not responsible for any damage or theft of your belongings or vehicle.
Absolutely not. Even under your manufacturer’s warranty, you are within your rights to have your car serviced by a third-party, independent repair and performance shop. FREED Performance only uses products that meet all manufacturers’ requirements and fall within CPO guidelines to keep your warranty current. We only use original equipment parts to ensure proper guidelines are met during your service.

Today’s cars are controlled by on-board computers, complicated ignition and fuel injection systems. Have an ASE certified FREED technician perform a diagnostic service to ensure all systems are functioning correctly.
- Quick starts use more fuel than smooth, steady acceleration. Adjust your style and you’ll save gas.
- Dirty air filters can cause your engine to run at less than peak efficiency. It’s easy to spot a dirty air filter, and the replacement cost is minimal.
- If there is an external cooling system leak, tighten, repair or replace leaking parts. A pressure test can determine if and where a leak exists.
- Tune up an engine that is not running perfectly and it will help start your car during the winter. Have any problems diagnosed and repaired before the onset of colder weather.
- Check your car’s heating system. Carefully check the radiator for leaks and debris. Also, check the radiator and heater hoses, and replace any that are worn, cracked, brittle or mushy.
- Take time to locate your fuse box, and have a list handy of the circuits each fuse protects. Make sure you have spare fuses for all amperage ratings.
- Oil is your car’s lifeblood, and winter is especially hard on your engine oil. Make sure you change your oil and use the correct weight for your car and climate. This will aid in starting.
- Top off your windshield fluid regularly. You’d be surprised how much you use in the winter and early spring.
- Check and top off fluid levels in your transmission, master cylinder, clutch cylinder and washer solvent reservoir. Give the oil a quick check, change it and install a filter according to the manufacturer’s recommended interval.
- Gas treatment may boost the cleaning performance of your gasoline. A complete fuel system cleaning can help restore peak engine performance and remove deposits throughout the entire fuel system including fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chambers.
- May is a good month to take a close look at your tires in preparation for upcoming summer travel. Check your owner’s manual for your vehicle’s proper interval and rotation sequence.
- Do your brakes feel as sure as they did when they were new? Brakes should be inspected at least twice a year. The best times are just before summer and winter to prevent problems in extreme temperatures. FREED Performance provides free visual brake inspections.
- Have the coolant in your cooling system replaced every 30,000 miles or according to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation. Replace the coolant with the proper proportion of water and coolant when low (50/50 mix).
- Oil additives work to protect your car’s engine. A quality oil treatment helps to protect against engine wear and reduces oil consumption.
- Engine coolant protects a vehicle’s cooling system from temperature extremes and helps prevent the radiator from overheating during hot weather or from freezing during cold weather.
- Check your automatic transmission fluid. It protects against transmission breakdown and contains additives that prevent corrosion, system wear and oxidation.
- Engine oil should always be changed according to manufacturer’s recommended intervals.
- Oil that does not have a “W” in its thickness rating might make the engine crank too slow to start. Check your owner’s manual for the recommended thickness for the coldest temperature expected in your region.
- Windshield wiper blades should be capable of completely clearing the windshield in three passes. Replace the blades if cleaning the edge of the blade does not help.
