Fan belts (or drive belts) dry out and crack over time. If you hear squealing or see wear, visit La Crescent Auto Repair in La Crescent for expert belt inspection and replacement using quality parts.

Factory Scheduled Maintenance
Automakers provide a service schedule for each vehicle. Our La Crescent technicians follow this closely for gas and diesel vehicles, domestic or import, to ensure long-term performance.

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 La Crescent Auto Repair. 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 La Crescent, LaCrosse, Onalaska, Dakota or the surrounding area, come by La Crescent Auto Repair 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 La Crescent Auto Repair 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 La Crescent 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 La Crescent Auto Repair in La Crescent our professional auto repair technicians can realign it to stop the noise and fix it before your fan belt completely breaks.

What Our Customers Are Saying
If you're searching for local car repair near me or comparing car repair shops in La Crosse WI, La Crescent Auto Repair is worth your time. They replaced my rear crossmember along with the control arm and ball joint assembly. Their first choice was OEM, but the manufacturer no longer had the part available. Instead of installing something questionable, they sourced a quality second-hand part from a supplier down south. I'll be honest, being in a rental while waiting wasn't ideal. But they were transparent about expectations the entire time. They communicated clearly, explained the sourcing delay, and made it clear they wouldn't install a part in my vehicle unless they'd trust it in their own. That level of honest auto repair is hard to find. Yes, I had to wait a little longer than expected. But it was worth it. The repair was done right, and the pricing was fair. If you're comparing options for cheap car repair near me, understand this: cheap doesn't always mean cutting corners. The price I paid was reasonable, especially compared to other shops in the area, and it definitely wasn't an arm and a leg. They do charge a 3% fee on credit cards due to their POS system, but there's no fee for debit or cash. If you're looking for mechanics who care about cars and guest service, I have no problem recommending La Crescent Auto Repair.
These guys always take good care of me. Excellent service!
Awesome reliable. Most important trustworthy. And realistic pricing. They do great work and so good to deal with. Would recommend to anyone
Very pleased with my recent experience at La Crescent Auto Repair. I had a leak start in my pickup, which hasn't leaked much of anything the whole time I've owned it, shortly before having to leave for a trip. The team at La Crescent Auto was able to squeeze me in on a moment's notice, diagnose, and fix the problem (leaky quick connectors on the cooling system) in time for me to depart. The work was thorough, the price fair, and the timelines exceptional.
