Engine Replacement
After years of use, your car's engine inevitably deteriorates. If you car needs a new engine and you are not ready to invest in a new car, consider having the engine rebuilt.

Spark Plug Replacement
At Black Bear Auto we recommend replacing spark plugs before they reach the 80,000-mile mark. Many car owners delay spark plug replacement until the engine starts "missing." An engine that is "missing" will typically result in a jerking feeling when accelerating. Spark plugs that are severely worn out will create a pinging or knocking sound. These fouled, worn-out spark plugs can lead to extensive engine damage that is expensive to fix. Therefore, replacing spark plugs before they reach the 80,000-mile mark is very important.
Emissions Inspection
Timing Belt/Chain Replacement
Fuel Injection Service/Repair
Fuel injection is a system for admitting fuel into an engine. Since 1990, fuel injectors have completely replaced carburetors as the primary means of getting gasoline into the engine. A fuel injector atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle (under high pressure). Failure of the fuel injection system means poor performance and ultimately destroys the engine. Make sure your vehicle's fuel injection system is maintained properly. For all your fuel injection maintenance and replacement needs, call 860-585-1111 or visit Black Bear Auto today.
Muffler Repair and Replacement

Transmission and Drivetrain

Transmission Service
A four-wheel (4x4) drive vehicle has differential gears, both front and rear axles, and a transfer case attached to the transmission. Four-wheel drive vehicles demand maintenance on the transfer case, front differentials, rear differentials, and transmission fluids. Visit us on 56 Frederick Street for service on your four-wheel drive transmission services.
Transmission Repair
From manual to automatic transmission repair, Black Bear Auto in Bristol, CT 06010 knows how to fix the problem. Our knowledgeable auto experts will diagnose the situation and help you make a decision. Leave the dirty work to us!
Transmission Fluid Service
Although most manufacturers recommend a transmission flush every 30,000 miles or every two years, some symptoms may indicate that you need a transmission flush sooner. Some of the symptoms that indicate that your car needs a transmission flush sooner are: transmission grinding or strange noises, problems shifting gears, slipping gears, surging of the car, and delay in vehicle movement. Flushing the used fluid from the transmission washes away tiny particles of dirt, clutch material, and metal shavings. For all your transmission flush needs, call 860-585-1111 or visit Black Bear Auto today - we are transmission experts.
Transmission Replacement
In motor vehicles, the transmission usually refers to the gear box, which uses gears and gear trains to transmit speed and torque from a rotating power source to another device. You can have your car's transmission replaced with a new, rebuilt, remanufactured, repaired or used transmission. For more information contact Black Bear Auto in Bristol, CT. Our experienced service technicians can help you make the best decision for your vehicle and your wallet.
Clutch Service/Repair
There are clutches in both automatic and manual transmission cars, and different types of clutches. When shifting gears, the clutch engages and disengages from the flywheel and transfers the torque through the transmission. Clutches should help your vehicle start and shift gears smoothly. The clutch in your car receives a lot of wear and can eventually wear out. If your clutch begins slipping irregularly or is making noises that are raising suspicion, contact Black Bear Auto to see if clutch replacement is necessary.
Differential Service/Repair
Q: What is front and rear differential service? A: Differential services performed by one of the professional technicians at Black Bear Auto usually includes draining the old fluid from the differentials and replacing it with new fluid according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations and specifications. Sometimes other components surrounding the differential may need to be serviced as well.
Axle Repair

Steering and Suspension

Suspension Service/Repair
I have a 2010 BMW 328i x-drive. Black Bear repaired many issues including multiple oil leaks and gasket repairs, and suspension work as well. 3 years later, I haven't had any issues. Quick and convenient with exceptional customer service.
Steering Service/Repair
Wheel alignment (or simply alignment) is standard car maintenance that involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the manufacturer's specifications. The main purpose is to let the suspension and the steering systems operate at their desired angles - this reduces tire wear. Alignment is a complicated process and not all mechanics get it right. To have experts handle your car's alignment, visit Black Bear Auto.
Steering Fluid Service

Heating and Cooling

Air Conditioning Service/Repair
Have you been sweltering in your vehicle lately? Perhaps your car's air conditioner isn't functioning properly. At Black Bear Auto we have qualified service professionals who can fix your air conditioner. To have an air conditioning system serviced, repaired, or replaced by experts consider visiting Black Bear Auto. You can also call us at 860-585-1111 with any questions relating to your vehicle's air conditioner.
Radiator Service/Repair
Radiator Flush
A car's coolant system transfers excess heat from one part of the engine and finally loses it through the radiator fins. With time, the coolant becomes old and dirty. The old coolant will negatively impact the system's performance. To make sure the system is working effectively, consider having a regular coolant system flush. A coolant flush is basic maintenance for your car's cooling system. Call 860-585-1111 or visit Black Bear Auto in Bristol, CT 06010 for all your coolant system flush and fill needs.
Air Filter Replacement
As cars get older, they need more maintenance and repair. Drivers in Bristol must be more diligent about preventative maintenance. Replacing a bad O2 Sensor costs $250.00 on average. This may increase or decrease based on the make and model of your car or truck. However, performing recommended auto maintenance such as air filter replacement and spark plug replacement can extend the life of your O2 sensor.

Tire Rotation
Q: At what mileage interval should I rotate my tires? A: Experts recommend you rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. While this is a good rule of thumb, your vehicle's exact interval will depend on its drivetrain and your driving habits. More aggressive drivers in the Bristol area may need to rotate their tires more often. Our experts at Black Bear Auto can work with you to determine the tire rotation schedule that will work best.
Tire Repair
Wheel Alignment
Avoid uneven tire wear and extend the life of your tires with a fast and affordable tire alignment at Black Bear Auto in Bristol. Call us today at 860-585-1111 and schedule an appointment.
Tire Service
Tire rotation is the practice of moving the wheels and tires of an automobile from one position to another, to ensure even tire wear, which extends the useful life of a set of tires. Rotation is important because each tire on a car carries a different amount of weight, making them wear at different rates. By rotating them, you basically even out those differences. Your owner's manual will tell you how often to rotate your tires, but as a rule of thumb, it should be done every 5,000 to 8,000 miles.
Tire Inspection
Tire Balancing
Had routine oil change, alignment with tire rotation and balancing. They did quality work and contacted me when the job was finished. They also notified me about work that would be needed to be done in the near future. Very satisfied with the experience and will continue to use Black Bear to service both my vehicles.

Brake Service
Brake Fluid Service
Brake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system. It is important to perform a brake fluid flush regularly to ensure that your vehicle is using fresh fluid. Talk to our technicians at Black Bear Auto about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.
