Oil Filter FAQs
How often should oil filters be changed?
Consult your owner's manual to determine the maintenance interval for your vehicle's oil filter. Some manufacturers recommend that the oil filter be replaced every time you get your oil changed while others recommend every other time.
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 a simple repair at Pete B Service Inc. There are other possible causes of water dripping on your foot on the driver's side of the car including a broken door seal or leaking heat exchanger.
Why is my car leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?
If there is a sweet-smelling fluid leaking from your car, the most likely culprit is leaking coolant or antifreeze. A coolant leak can become a serious problem. If your vehicle gets too low on coolant or antifreeze, it will overheat and may cause engine damage.
FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles
Why are my wheels making a chirping sound when I accelerate?
The most common reason why 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 your wheel this can also be the sound of a wheel bearing beginning to fail. If you are in Middle Island, Spring Lake Golf Course, Rocky Point , Miller Place or the surrounding area, come by Pete B Service Inc 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 clicks when you turn the steering wheel the most common cause is a low steering fluid. Over time the steering fluid decreases and air enters the steering mechanism causing unwanted noises. Come to Pete B Service Inc to top off your fluid reservoir with power steering fluid. The noises should start to go away immediately. If the sound returns quickly your car could be leaking steering fluid. Our professionals in Middle Island can help you diagnose and repair leaks quickly and affordably.
Why is my car making a squealing noise?
It may be a slipping fan belt. Listen for a few warning signs such as a squeaking or chirping noise. Those noises are usually caused by misalignment of the belt and the pulley. If you come by Pete B Service Inc in Middle Island our professional auto repair technicians can realign it to stop the noise and fix it before your fan belt completely breaks.

I was looking around for a classic Volkswagen specialist to restore my original 1968 Meyers Dune Buggy for quite a few months. I checked out places as far away as upstate New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island . I finally came across Pete B service after someone I met told me there was a great group of classic VW specialists at Pete B in Middle island . After going down to there shop and meeting Dirk and his crew I knew they were the right guys to work on my classic VW They did a fantastic job restoring my dune buggy. When I purchased my car it was sitting in a warehouse for over 35 years and needed everything. Dirk, Rich and Tom replaced parts when needed and rebuild the steering, brake system, fuel system , complete wiring harness and installed an engine I purchased for the car. It now runs and looking amazing!! Their attention to detail is top notch. The work was completed on schedule and to the original quoted price. As a bonus , Dirk the shop owner raced sand rails and is involved in off road racing. So he knows how to assemble your ride for on and off road use I highly recommend Pete B Service . If you have a classic VW I would not go anywhere else. 5 stars
I have a 1974 VW Karmann Ghia that Dirk has done work on. I would Not trust it to Anyone Else! He is a perfectionist with the work he performed and the care he takes with my VW classic Car. Peter B of Middle Island is the Best!
