At Paul’s Automotive in Sacramento, CA, we know how important it is to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Whether you commute daily or just drive around town on weekends, regular vehicle maintenance isn't just a good idea—it’s essential. Four often-overlooked services can make a big difference in your car’s performance and lifespan: ignition system cleaning, power steering flush, transmission flush, and oil flush.
In this article, we break down what each of these services involves and how they can save you time, money, and hassle in the long run.
Ignition System Cleaning: Better Starts, Smoother Rides
Your ignition system is responsible for starting your engine and keeping it running efficiently. Over time, carbon buildup and dirt can interfere with spark plugs, ignition coils, and other components.
At Paul’s Automotive, we use specialized tools and cleaning agents to remove carbon deposits and restore your ignition system’s performance. It's a quick and affordable way to avoid costly engine issues later on.

Power Steering Flush: Easier Turning, Longer System Life
Your power steering system relies on hydraulic fluid to make steering feel smooth and responsive. Over time, this fluid can become contaminated with dirt, metal shavings, and sludge, leading to stiffness or strange noises when turning the wheel.
Sacramento’s hot summers can put extra strain on your power steering system. A power steering flush from Paul’s Automotive helps ensure your car stays easy to drive year-round.

Oil Flush: Clean Engine, Peak Performance
An oil flush involves removing old, sludgy oil from your engine and cleaning internal components before adding fresh oil and a new filter. It’s especially helpful if you’ve gone too long between oil changes or bought a used car with an unknown maintenance history.
At Paul’s Automotive, we recommend oil flushes for vehicles showing signs of sludge or poor performance—especially for Sacramento drivers who put a lot of miles on their engines.
