Adjust the factory toe angle to specification, and verify that the other alignment angles on both the front and rear axles are within specifications. Note: Shims, Eccentrics and labor for fixed alignment angles in both the front and the rear are not included.
- Remove necessary shields to access the pressure ports. Install manifold gauges and monitor systems static and dynamic system pressures. Check all air conditioning electrical system components including switch, relays, and pressure switches. Add refrigerant to the system if necessary for leak testing and inject the system with luminescent dye. Check the system for refrigerant leaks using dye detection equipment.

Check the vehicles braking system components for wear, remaining brake material, and signs of pending issues. Reinstall the tires onto the vehicle in their best suited locations based on overall wear, torquing all lugs to factory specification. Inflate all tires to the manufacturers suggested pressure, and visually assess the tread for abnormal wear which may indicate a need for a wheel alignment. Reset the vehicles tire pressure monitor sensor locations where required, using the factory approved TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring) system, scan tool. Road test the vehicle and confirm there is no abnormal handling characteristics following the rotation. Note: Some vehicles may have a slight drift following a tire rotation. This is due to a pattern that developes in some tires due to excessive time in one location. This condition should improve as the tread conforms to the new location / alignment angle. If drifting would not improve, sometimes an alignment or a cross rotation is required.

- Trans Tech II Transmission machine is a self-contained system which connects directly to the transmission through the transmission cooler lines. The Trans Tech II completely exchanges 100% of the transmissions fluid while removing all internal debris. This cleaning is accomplished using only automatic transmission fluid and no solvents or chemicals which may shorten the transmissions life. The specified type of fluid is exchanged through the vehicles transmission till the unit is completely clean. This service is hands down the best way to replace virtually 100% of the transmissions fluid, without removing the transmission pan which could cause additional internal issues. Modern transmissions do not contain a 'filter', but use a debris screen. This screen is cleaned by the machine performing a back flush procedure to remove trapped debris. In some instances, where paper filters are used, the filter may need to be replaced depending upon the condition of the fluid before the service. Fluid is additional. Filter and pan gasket additional (if required).
- Remove front brackets, adjusters, and pulleys necessary to access the accessory belt components. Remove the engines serpentine and or V style drive belts, and clean and lubricate any idlers, pivots, or tensioner assemblies for later reassembly. Clean the pulley grooves to remove built up rubber and debris that will cause premature wear / noise issues with the replacement belt(s). Check all accessories, idlers, and tensioners for bearing deflection. Replace the accessory drive and or serpentine belt(s) and reassemble the removed components. Adjust the drive belts to specification, and run the engine to check for proper operation of the idler and tensioner pulleys. Verify belt deflection and alignment of the engines accessories, and lock all manually adjusted tensioners as required.
