Our Services

Your vehicle’s oil change is the most routine of routine maintenance, but it is one of the most important parts of keeping your car on the road.  This is especially true in and around Myrtle Beach where stop and go traffic, heat, and road conditions can put a real strain on your engine.

Check the owner’s manual for your recommended service schedule and to see if your driving habits are considered to be “severe service.” When it is time for your next oil change, stop by Turn Key Automotive and we can have you in and out in less than 25 minutes.

Your modern vehicle’s engine is a highly sophisticated piece of equipment. The days of your father’s gas-guzzler are long gone—instead, Federal Exhaust Emission and Fuel Economy regulations demand that today’s vehicles be equipped with electronic engine control systems, to curb carbon emissions and increase fuel efficiency. With technically-advanced control systems taking the place of simple engine components, common maintenance services such as tune-ups are also a thing of the past. Regular services (such as spark plug and filter replacements) are still required, as well as a computerized analysis of your vehicle’s control computer.

For those of you who aren’t mechanically-savvy, you probably still understand that transmission problems are among the most expensive repairs required for your vehicle. That’s because your transmission is a complex system of gears that transmit mechanical power to your engine, ultimately determining the rate of speed you travel. Transmissions convert this power from the engine so that it can supply high torque at low speeds, in addition to selecting which gears are appropriate based on the driving conditions.

Transmission problems typically arise when regular service is neglected. When fluids aren’t properly changed, heat caused from mileage friction results in rough shifting, accelerated wear, and even complete failure. That’s why it’s essential that you turn to us to make sure that your transmission is lubricated and cooled by the finest quality transmission fluids, installed by our service professionals.

At Turn Key, we know how expensive and stressful transmissions issues can be.  That’s why we take the time to walk you through the issues, costs, and best solutions to get your car or truck back on the road.

Your exhaust system is more than a muffler. It is a series of pipes that run under your car, connected to your muffler and catalytic converter. The main function of your exhaust system is to control noise and to funnel exhaust fumes away from passengers.

The exhaust system also converts pollutants into less harmful byproducts, reduces the noise of the engine, and directs exhaust gases so they can be used to heat air and fuel before they go into the engine’s cylinders to be burned. Finally, the exhaust system provides just the right amount of backpressure into the engine to improve its fuel-burning efficiency and increase performance.

You’ll know if you have exhaust system issues when your vehicle is running poorly and loudly.  Call Turn Key Automotive at (843) 293-6793 and we’ll help get you vehicle exhaust system running at peak performance.

Nothing will destroy your expensive tires like an alignment issue and at Turn Key Automotive we can ensure your wheels are perfectly true.  This both ensures your tires last as long as possible, but more importantly ensures you are safe on the road. Wheel alignment is the position of the wheels relative to your car. When properly aligned, the wheels point in the right direction. Without proper alignment, the wheels resist your steering commands, as well as each other. Alignment also affects gas mileage and tire wear. If your tires are pointed in different directions, they fight against each other and can cause tread wear.

Your axles and CV joints are literally the parts that are holding your car together. While Axle issues are unusual if you overload your car or truck or have experienced any collisions you can cause serious issues with either your vehicle’s axles, CV joints, or both.

Both your vehicle axles and CV joints are usually dependable, but, as is the case for all of your vehicle’s moving equipment, they do require regular inspection. An easy way for you to tell if you need to see us for axle repair is to go out to a large space (such as a parking lot), and slowly drive in tight circles. If you hear a clicking or cracking noise, you have a worn joint, and it must be repaired immediately.

We will have you back on the road, “click-free” in no time!
