We Can Fix Your 1996 Dodge Dakota

If your Dodge Dakota is in need of some TLC, we’re here to ensure you and your car are well cared for. We know that high standards of quality and care can make the best auto repair shops stand out from the rest. You can drive easy knowing that Firestone Complete Auto Care has you covered for 1996 Dodge Dakota repairs, including brake, tire, alignment, drivetrain, and engine repair. Read on to learn about each service.

When it comes to brake repairs, your safety is of utmost importance. Even if you’re a careful driver, Dodge Dakota brake problems can quickly create a dangerous situation while you’re driving. If you notice shaking when you depress your brake pedal, noise from your brakes, increased stop distance, or a brake light that’s lit up on your dashboard, don’t wait to have your brakes inspected and repaired. Even the most well-maintained cars will need brake repair at some point, including your Dodge Dakota. Over time, parts of your brakes (like the brake pads) experience natural wear and tear and eventually need to be replaced. Driving habits and climate can also affect when you might need brake repair.

Tire problems are another one you don't want to let linger. Safe vehicle operation is practically impossible without four well-maintained and reliable tires. We can easily swap out a flat tire on your 1996 Dodge Dakota, or if the damage isn’t severe, repair a Dodge Dakota tire with the appropriate plug and patch. Many tread-area punctures can be repaired if they are less than ¼ of an inch in diameter. If your tire can't be safely repaired, a tire technician can help you find a tire replacement that will keep your car (and your wallet!) happy. To ensure that tire damage doesn’t take a toll on other components of your vehicle, we may recommend an alignment or tire balancing service at the time of your tire repair.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care is also equipped to handle many 1996 Dodge Dakota transmission, drivetrain, and engine repairs. All of these systems contain hundreds of parts that work together to generate heat and energy to propel your car to move. These parts are moving anytime your car is running, so over time, they can take on significant wear and tear. If this happens, you may hear engine knocking noises, feel a delay in transmission shifting, or even smell a burning odor from under your Dakota’s hood. Whatever the symptom, bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care. In these cases, the repair could range from something minor, like a new spark plug, to a more significant repair, like a fuel pump fix.
