Belt Replacement
Fan belts (or drive belts) dry out and crack over time. If you hear squealing or see wear, visit Norton Shores Automotive in Muskegon for expert belt inspection and replacement using quality parts.
Check Engine Light Diagnostics
It could be a loose gas cap-or something serious like a failing catalytic converter. Visit us in Muskegon for quick code reading and diagnostics. At Norton Shores Automotive, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you.
Direct Injection and Air Induction Service
Over time, your fuel injection and air induction systems clog with unburned fuel. Improve lost power and fuel efficiency with our complete cleaning process.
Factory Scheduled Maintenance
Automakers provide a service schedule for each vehicle. Our Muskegon technicians follow this closely for gas and diesel vehicles, domestic or import, to ensure long-term performance.
Hose Replacement
Cracked, dry hoses can leak coolant and cause overheating and prevent optimum performance. We inspect and replace worn hoses to keep your cooling system in top shape.
Oil, Lube, and Filter
To keep running smoothly, your car highly relies on oil, lube, and oil filters. Oil helps in lubricating, cooling, and cleaning the internal engine components. With time, motor oil becomes contaminated. Your car needs an oil, lube, and filter change every 3,000 - 5,000 miles. When it is time for a lube, oil, or filter change, take your vehicle to Norton Shores Automotive in Muskegon, MI 49444.
Oil Filter FAQs
How often should oil filters be changed?
Consult your owner's manual to determine the recommended maintenance interval for your vehicle's oil filter. Some manufacturers recommend replacing the oil filter every time you get an oil change, while others may recommend replacing it every other oil change.
Why is water leaking on my foot on the driver's side?
The most common cause is a blocked air conditioning drain hose. This is typically a simple repair at Norton Shores Automotive. Other possible causes of water leaking onto the driver's side floor include a damaged door seal or a leaking heat exchanger. Our technicians can inspect the source of the leak and determine the appropriate repair.
Why is my car leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?
If there is a sweet-smelling fluid leaking from your vehicle, coolant or antifreeze may be the source. A coolant leak can become a serious problem if left unaddressed. If your vehicle gets too low on coolant or antifreeze, the engine can overheat and potentially suffer engine damage. Have the vehicle inspected promptly to locate and repair the leak.
FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles
Why are my wheels making a chirping sound when I accelerate?
The most common reason your car's wheels make a chirping or squealing sound, especially during acceleration, is a bad wheel bearing. If you notice a grinding or grating noise coming from a wheel, this can also be a sign that a wheel bearing is beginning to fail. If you're in Muskegon, Muskegon, Whitehall, Twin Lake, or the surrounding area, come by Norton Shores Automotive and we can diagnose the problem quickly.
Why does my car make a noise when I turn the steering wheel?
If your car makes strange sounds or clicking noises when you turn the steering wheel, one possible cause is low power steering fluid. As the fluid level drops, air can enter the power steering system and cause unwanted noises.
Come to Norton Shores Automotive to have the power steering system inspected and the fluid level checked. If the noise returns quickly after the fluid is topped off, your vehicle may have a power steering fluid leak. Our professionals in Muskegon can diagnose the source of the problem and recommend the appropriate repair.
Why is my car making a squealing noise?
A squealing or chirping noise may be caused by a slipping or misaligned belt. These noises can occur when a belt and pulley are not properly aligned or when the belt is becoming worn. If you come by Norton Shores Automotive in Muskegon, our professional auto repair technicians can inspect the belt and pulley system, determine the source of the noise, and make the necessary repairs before the belt fails completely.

Girlfriend was getting ready to leave town, and she checked her fluids to see all of the coolant was missing from the reservoir. We slowly got this thing over to a NAPA shop, Fruitport Automotive where they then recommended getting this car over to Frank at Norton Shores Automotive. Frank was a class act from the start, providing reassurance and comfort to my girlfriend who was stressed about the situation. Frank took care of us like family would and did it on the house (loose hose/fitting) and refused any offered payment. If there was an option for 10/5 stars, Frank deserves it. Very grateful for both Fruitport and Norton Shores Automotive for helping us with our situation

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
We went to Norton Shores Automotive after a dealership said our brakes needed servicing. A mechanic named Frank took our vehicle for a test drive, then checked all the brakes at the shop and stated they were still in good working condition, a little rust, but nothing in need of immediate repair. I found him to be straight forward and honest, and I believed in his professional judgment and integrity. I will be back when the day comes for a brake job, and oil change. Thank you NSA.
