Mallard Auto Care, Castro Valley offers hundreds of auto services and repairs, including: 


Hayward Highland Transmission Fluid Change


Transmission fluid change prolongs transmission life and can make for smoother shifting. Replacing old transmission fluid with fresh fluid removes debris and grime, and introduces fresh transmission fluid that has correct chemical and mechanical properties.


Hayward Highland Check Engine Light


Our mechanics use cutting-edge digital diagnostics and rely on their extensive experience and advanced training to diagnose the root cause of a check engine light. Once we know the cause, repairs can be completed on the same day (in most cases).


Hayward Highland Oil Change


At Mallard Auto Care, Castro Valley we are big fans of fully synthetic motor oil, and of regular motor oil change. Removing spent engine oil removes grime and debris, and the new oil filter will do a much better job of filtering out such impurities. Oil change every 5000 miles or 6 months (whichever comes first) will go a long way to keeping your vehicle’s engine in top shape.


Hayward Highland Brake Service


Brakes are crucial to your safety, so at Mallard Auto Care, Castro Valley we offer a full range of brake services – brake pads and brake rotor replacement, brake caliper repair, brake fluid line inspection and replacement, and brake master cylinder repair – to name just a few. We work on both disk brakes and drum brakes, and our technicians can also perform anti-lock (ABS) brake service and repairs.


Hayward Highland Auto Air Conditioning Service


Even normally balmy Bay Area can have hot days in the summer, so our family-owned and operated auto repair facility offers comprehensive automotive air conditioning services and repairs – we offer system diagnostics, coolant leak detection, and repair, coolant refill, and we can inspect and replace hoses and other ac components if needed.


Hayward Highland Power Steering Fluid Change


Power steering fluid, like all fluids, needs to be changed from time to time. Fortunately, the interval is much longer than the oil change time interval. We recommend power steering fluid change every 100,000 miles unless your vehicle exhibits power steering problems, or you detect a power steering fluid leak.


When your vehicle needs maintenance or repairs, our friendly staff will welcome you and your vehicle. We will treat your vehicle as if it were our own, and you will experience first-hand “Quality, Value, Service” that are the hallmarks of Mallard Auto Care, Castro Valley. Call us to schedule an appointment, or with any questions, you may have.
