Whether it’s changing weather conditions, unforeseen debris from a windy day in Brooklyn or a misguided baseball pitch, the auto glass on your vehicle is susceptible to damage from a wide range of sources. Damage to the windshield, back or side windows of your car or truck can be extremely frustrating and, if not repaired correctly, could prove very dangerous.
In most average-sized vehicles a windshield will makes up 30% of its strength. The slightest chip, crack or fracture to it could greatly compromise your family’s safety should a collision occur. Similarly, not having the adequate repair work done to a damaged side or rear window could run the risk of reducing visibility.
At Sarik Auto Center Inc we have built a reputation as being the leading auto glass repair specialist in Brooklyn. Our attention to detail with regards to our workmanship is only equaled by our customer-first approach when dealing with you, the Brooklyn motorist. If you have encountered any type of auto-glass related problem or simply want additional information on how best to maintain the glass on your vehicle, then please call us today.
At Sarik Auto Center Inc we know that time is of the essence, that is why when you come to us with an auto glass problem, you can rest assured knowing that the issue will be fixed quickly. Unlike other auto repair garages, our speedy glass repair or replacement is not compromised with sub-standard workmanship. It is the combined decades of experience which allow our team of mechanics to repair any issue fully but quickly. We are proud of our award-winning service and are willing to stand over it. This is why we offer a fully-comprehensive guarantee on our glass repair or replacement work for as long as you operate your vehicle.
There was a time when if your windshield, side or rear window had been damaged by a stone, rock or piece of fallen debris it would have to be replaced. Thanks to advancements in auto glass repair equipment that is no longer the case and an increasing number of vehicles in Brooklyn are needing their vehicle’s windows replaced. That being said, a number of factors are still important to consider when deciding whether to repair or replace your auto glass, including:
Size: While it is true that advances in glass repair equipment can mean larger cracks and holes can now be repaired, the fact of the matter is that most cracks more than three inches long will need to be replaced rather than repaired.
Location: The simple truth of the matter is that a crack at the bottom of your view window is not as damaging as one on the driver’s side of the windshield. Cracks in windshields also spread quicker and can compromise the integrity of the glass.
Line of Vision: It very much depends on the crack, but it is sometimes better to replace a windshield that has a crack in the driver’s line of vision rather than repair it.
No matter what industry you work in there is little doubt that the prevention is always better than the cure. For a mechanic it is no different. That is why at Sarik Auto Center Inc we work diligently to provide the best maintenance and vehicle inspection service across Brooklyn. In doing so we ensure that our customers are prepared for whatever hazards or and challenges Brooklyn roads throw at them and are less likely to be as adversely impacted if a problem arises.
We strive to be proactive rather than reactive when dealing with the many and varied problems that driving can throw at you. This means ensuring that even the smallest detail in your car, truck or bike is identified and corrected as fast as possible. By being as diligent and detailed as possibly during our vehicles inspection checks and regular maintenance services, our team of mechanics can stop a small problem from growing into a big one. This will save you time and money and allow you to drive worry-free.
The answer to this question relies on a number of factors such as the age of your vehicle, whether it was bought new or second-hand, if it has been involved in any previous crashes or collisions, how many miles it has on the clock, as well as its general road-worthiness.
However, that being said, there are a number of key guidelines which, if followed, should ensure that your car, motorbike or truck will receive the appropriate level of mechanic maintenance. They are as follows:
At Sarik Auto Center Inc we pride ourselves on providing a free and thorough inspection for all our regular customers. What’s more, if you are a regular customer of ours, we will ensure that you receive a discount on any maintenance work that comes to more than 300 dollars.
There is no doubt about it, we are all guilty of adopting the ‘if it’s not broken why fix it mindset’ from time to time and it can often be for good reason. Regular vehicle inspection and maintenance work can cost time and money and may seem like an unnecessary luxury, especially during tough economic times. However, the fact of the matter is that failing to have your vehicle inspected and maintained regularly will not only cost you more money in the long-run should a serious issue need repairing, but it will also put the safety of you and your family at greater risk. Don’t take chances, call the Brooklyn mechanics you can trust today.
No matter your level of driving experience, it is probably fair to say that every Brooklyn driver is aware of the importance of a functioning set of brakes. Without your brakes working to their optimal level, your vehicle shouldn’t be on the road. One of the most common concerns that our mechanics at Sarik Auto Center Inc hear from Brooklyn drivers is that they did not know their brakes were in such bad shape. The reason for this is simple; your brakes are one of the strongest parts of your vehicle. Because of this they will continue to operate even when they are worn down. However, if not diagnosed in time then a small problem could turn into something far more dangerous. Don’t take that risk. Make sure you, your family members and others on the road in Brooklyn are protected. Have your brakes checked regularly by the premier mechanic service. Call today for our great offers and flexible payment plan options.
At Sarik Auto Center Inc we are highly aware of the fact that there are many parts that make your brake system work well. However, we also realize that it only takes one of these many pieces of equipment to fail for your whole braking system to be compromised. It is for this reason that our mechanics and brake technicians have the skill, experience and equipment to repair, and if necessary, replace all the brake-related parts. While there are many unique parts that go into making the optimal braking system, here are two that you need to pay special attention to:.
The brake calipers in your vehicle are a key part of the functioning disc brake system. The importance of the caliper is tied to the fact that once you press on the brake pedal, the brake fluid flows from the mechanical cylinder to the brake calipers. From there, the brake fluid applies pressure on the piston inside the calipers. This leads to a friction between the brake pads and the rotors which ultimately results in the vehicle reducing in speed and stopping.
Any damage to the brake calipers can affect this entire process, leaving your entire braking system compromised. If you notice any problem when pressing the brake pedal then you need to contact Sarik Auto Center Inc right away.
It is always surprising to us when Brooklyn drivers are surprised at the importance of brake rotors. These rotors or discs are a crucial part of your vehicle’s overall braking system and need to be properly maintained. The rotors in your vehicle are responsible for stopping your wheel from spinning. In reality, brake rotors and pads are extremely interlinked and a fault to one will affect the other greatly.
While we all like to think we are fully in control of every part of our life, the fact of the matter is that there are many things which we simply cannot control. When it comes to driving, it is almost impossible to know when a collision or crash will occur. In fact, it is often the shock and surprise of being involved in an accident rather than the impact of the collision itself that causes the most damage to Brooklyn motorists.
At Sarik Auto Center Inc we understand that a vehicle collision of any nature – no matter how big or small – has the potential to leave you feeling emotionally fragile as well as physically shaken.

It doesn’t matter how old your car is, how far you have driven it, or who manufactured it, engine repair and maintenance is a reality all car owners will have to face sooner or later. While regular professional maintenance can help reduce the risk of your engine breaking down, it’s never guaranteed.
In all of our years in the engine repair business, here are some of the most common engine problems we encounter regularly.
If your engine won’t start, it might mean:
If the engine clicks but doesn’t crank, then it’s typically a battery issue. If it cranks but doesn’t start, then it is usually a sign that there is a problem with the fuel or ignition systems.
An overheating engine is most likely due to low coolant levels. Frequent overheating can cause serious and pricey damage to engines. If your engine continues to overheat regardless of how much coolant you are putting in to it, it might mean:
A cracked head or blown head gasket may also be causing your engine to overheat. White exhaust smoke is usually an indication that there’s a problem with your engine’s cooling system and may require service immediately.
The check engine light is designed to light up whenever a fault is detected in any of the sensors attached to the emission, engine, or powertrain controls. Although useful, it can often be the source of frustration for drivers because it fails to give them any indication of the nature of the problem. They only know that there might be a problem.
The service engine light could be notifying you about:
Your car can’t run without its engine, which is why Sarik Auto Center Inc’s highly-trained and experienced Brooklyn mechanics are at your service when you need us.
You may not realize it but your exhaust might be the most important part of your car. While it may not keep you moving forward or steer you in the right direction, the exhaust and muffler systems prevent dangerous fumes, like carbon monoxide from entering your vehicle.
Over time, Brooklyn climate and road conditions can cause the exhaust to break or wear down. To protect your vehicle’s integrity as well as your well-being, bring it in to Sarik Auto Center Inc. Our team of trustworthy and professional mechanics are guaranteed to diagnose the issue and provide all the necessary service so you can get back on the road with the peace of mind that you’re not about to fail an emissions test.
Call Sarik Auto Center Inc today to schedule an appointment so we can begin assessing your exhaust.
If your exhaust or muffler is damaged, it can seriously decrease the efficiency of your vehicle as well as put your health at risk. Here are some telltale signs that you need to get some repairs on your exhaust and muffler to bring it back to peak efficiency:
If these symptoms are prevalent in your vehicle, there may be an exhaust leak due to corrosion.
Another telltale sign to look out for is noise. If your vehicle is noticeably louder than it’s been, then there might be a problem with your exhaust. An engine leak at the manifold greatly increases the engine’s volume as well as the possibility to allow dangerous fumes to waft into the cabin. Odd vibrations in the steering wheel or gas pedals are also signs that you are leaking exhaust. If the problem is serious enough, you may feel the entire vehicle shake.
These aren’t just road-safety issues, they are health issues. Contact one of our mechanics today if you think there is a problem with your exhaust.
A quick Google search will reveal that there is no shortage of DIY solutions for a broken exhaust. Many of them state that your car can be repaired with as little as tape or a tin can.
Can you really repair an exhaust pipe with a bit of tape and a tin can? Well…you can tape a tin can to your exhaust but you can hardly call that a repair. The only instance where this can pass for an adequate repair is if you don’t care about inhaling toxic fumes or Brooklyn’s atmosphere.
If you don’t want to risk your health and safety, schedule an appointment with one of Sarik Auto Center Inc’s trusted Brooklyn mechanics. When you do, you can breathe easy knowing that our solution is a lot more technical and proven than the tin-can and tape technique. Call us today to find out more about we can do for your vehicle.

For many young and aspiring Brooklyn drivers the thought of getting behind the wheel and driving their own car on a cross-country adventure is very appealing, and so it should be. However, before doing so it is important to realize that owning your own vehicle is a big step. Sure you know that you’ll have to pay for your own gas and maybe learn how to change a tire, but have you considered some of the smaller details like changing your vehicle’s oil?
At Sarik Auto Center Inc we offer an award-winning oil changing service to all of our Brooklyn customers. The skill and expertise of our mechanics means that undertaking an oil change is a straightforward process irrespective of the type of vehicle that you are driving. So if you are looking for a quick and efficient oil change from a garage in Brooklyn that you can trust then look no further than us.
While the thread depth of your tires, the functionality of your engine and the strength of your windshield will all need to be tested from time to time, ensuring that the oil in your vehicle is changed regularly is crucial. In fact, it is probably one of the most important parts of any maintenance check for your car, bike or van.
An oil change consists of removing old oil from your vehicle and replacing it with new, fresh oil. At Sarik Auto Center Inc we generally change the oil filter at the same time we change the oil in your vehicle. This is necessary to ensure your vehicle receives the optimal benefits from this procedure.
As you may know, the engine in your vehicle is made of many moving parts that work together to ensure the optimal operation of your car or truck. However, after a period of time, this constant motion can lead to friction that can damage your engine. The oil in your engine acts as a necessary lubricant that allows the moving components of your engine to interact seamlessly while also acting as a coolant to absorb the heat that this kinetic motion creates. This places a lot of pressure on your engine and its oil and, over time, it can break down and become less effective. When this happens it is time for an oil change.
Regular oil changes ensure that this goal is achieved before serious damage is caused to your vehicle. At Sarik Auto Center Inc we always advise our Brooklyn customers to have their oil changed every 3,500 miles. Failing to do so could result in serious damage to your vehicle’s engine.
