Belt Replacement
Fan belts (or drive belts) dry out and crack over time. If you hear squealing or see wear, visit Darwin Automotive in Memphis for expert belt inspection and replacement using quality parts.
Check Engine Light Diagnostics
It could be a loose gas cap-or something serious like a failing catalytic converter. Visit us in Memphis for quick code reading and diagnostics. At Darwin Automotive, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you.
Factory Scheduled Maintenance
Automakers provide a service schedule for each vehicle. Our Memphis technicians follow this closely for gas and diesel vehicles, domestic or import, to ensure long-term performance.
Headlight and Bulb Replacement
If your bulbs are dim or out, it's time for a replacement. Our Memphis team installs high-quality bulbs to restore visibility and safety.
Hose Replacement
Cracked, dry hoses can leak coolant and cause overheating and prevent optimum performance. We inspect and replace worn hoses to keep your cooling system in top shape.
Oil, Lube & Filter Changes
Most vehicles need oil and filter changes every 3,000 to 7,500 miles. We provide full oil, lube, and filter service at Darwin Automotive to prevent wear and overheating.

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 Darwin Automotive. 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 Memphis, West Memphis, AR, Marion, AR, Bartlett or the surrounding area, come by Darwin Automotive 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 Darwin Automotive 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 Memphis 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 Darwin Automotive in Memphis 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
Dropped my truck off for an oil change, inspection and tire rotation. I have had a check engine light on for months and they were able to track down the issue that other shops kept telling me they couldn't. Very honest and straight forward about what was needed and the price was very fair. Amazing group of guys! I will use Darwin for all my future automotive needs.

I took my INFINITY FX35 because it was not cranking anymore. I spoke with Joe and he was nice through the whole process. He did a diagnostic on it and found out that I needed to replace the Main Fuse Panel. A week or two later he called me back and told me that my vehicle was ready. I couldn't have been more satisfied. Thank you and I will doing FUTURE BUSINESS!
