The Stars at Hollywood – Chabill’s Tire & Auto Service
Hollywood Stars
Transportation is the second largest investment for most families, after your home ranking first. It’s understandable that car owners want the “star treatment” for their vehicles. Interestingly, Houma, Louisiana, happens to be the childhood home of at least 6 nationally acclaimed music and/or acting performers, 11 professional athletes, and 13 elected officials/politicians. While this is impressive, these individuals may not be handy at helping you with your ride. The “stars” at Chabill’s Tire & Auto Service, however, are highly qualified to assist you with all your routine maintenance, repair, and tire needs. Located at 106 S. Hollywood Road between Martin Luther King Blvd./W. Tunnel Blvd. and 24/W. Park Ave., our shop may not be the Hollywood seen on the big screen, but we’re ready to roll out the red carpet for you just as we’ve done since 1968.
Professional Service and Repairs
For professional service and repair for your vehicle, bring your auto to Chabill’s Tire & Auto Service. Our certified technicians are familiar with all makes and models, so we offer a full range of preventive maintenance services for every car. We’re also qualified to take care of all your mechanical repair needs, ranging from wheel alignment to radiator replacement. If your ride needs tires or tire care, we do that too, carrying multiple major brands (BFGoodrich, Michelin, Goodyear, and Uniroyal).
Tip: If your check engine dashboard light is illuminated, have us properly diagnose it to obtain a trouble code. The check engine warning can be caused by many things, including a loose gas cap, a bad oxygen sensor, an ailing exhaust system, etc. Your auto will not pass emissions inspection until the problem is addressed.
Automotive Brake Service
Brakes are a critical safety component of your car, helping you stop on time and keeping you and your passengers safe in an emergency braking situation. Like other vehicle components, brake systems also require regular maintenance and replacement of worn items. Brake pads and rotors are not designed to last forever. Depending on your car, these can require consistent replacement at anywhere from 25,000 to 65,000 miles. Damage to your braking system or premature failure of other brake components can also lead to a reduction in braking effectiveness. When this happens, it is best to visit Chabill’s Tire and Auto Service as soon as possible. Some signs that you may be in need of brake repairs or new brake components for your car are noted below.
- Excessive noise when braking
- Longer than normal time or distance required to stop
- The brake pedal goes right to the floor when depressed
- Vibrations felt in the steering wheel when under braking
Vehicle Air Conditioning Systems
There’s nothing worse than battling the sweltering summer heat in the confined space of a car with a malfunctioning A/C unit. When your vehicle is blowing nothing but hot air, it’s time to visit the experts at Chabill’s Tire and Auto Service. Our automotive technicians can diagnose your vehicle’s air conditioning and environmental system and recommend the right repairs to keep you cool on the road. Car air conditioning systems are complex, and problems can be difficult to diagnose. Leave it to the skilled technicians at Chabill’s Tire and Auto Service. With advanced technology and a keen eye, the technicians at Chabill’s will pinpoint the issue and have your vehicle’s air conditioning system running cool in no time.

- Leaky hoses
- Electrical issues
- Evaporator issues
- Broken blower fan
- And more…
Car Shocks And Struts
A car’s suspension components are designed to take the abuse of everyday driving. Like most things, these components eventually wear out and require replacement. If you are beginning to experience a “less than comfortable” ride or if your vehicle emits noises and rattles over every bump in the road, it may be a sign of failing suspension components. At Chabill’s Tire and Auto Service, we are experts in all things related to automotive suspension. Our highly trained technicians can diagnose issues with your car shocks, struts and steering-related components. They can recommend repairs that will restore your vehicle’s comfortable ride.
Car And Truck Alignments
The alignment of your car or truck’s tires in relation to each other is more important than you may think. When your vehicle’s alignment is outside of the manufacturer’s specifications, it can wreak havoc on your car in a variety of ways. Many times, a vehicle alignment issue may not be that noticeable. It can cause damage to other vehicle components if left untreated. If you believe you are experiencing any of the following symptoms while driving your vehicle, it’s time to visit the automotive specialists at Chabill’s Tire and Auto Service:
- The steering wheel does not return to the center
- The car drifts to one side of the road while driving straight
- Uneven tire wear
- Excessive tire wear
- Vibrations or shaking felt in your steering wheel
Chabill’s Tire and Auto Service utilizes specialized equipment and ASE-certified technicians to ensure that your car or truck’s wheels are aligned properly and within the manufacturer’s requirements. Getting you back in your vehicle quickly, safely and heading straight down the road is our priority.
Vehicle Maintenance Flushes
Vehicle maintenance flushes are one of the most underutilized services in the automotive repair industry. Oftentimes, they can save you the most on repairs. Many of the critical components of your vehicle (such as your engine and transmission) use a variety of fluids to keep them cool and lubricated so that they work at optimum efficiency. Over time, these fluids are exposed to high pressures and heat that cause them to degrade and become less effective. As a result, it is best to change these fluids and lubricants regularly to keep your vehicle’s most critical components running in perfect order. The expert technicians at Chabill’s Tire and Auto Service are ready to offer you the following maintenance flushes to help maintain your vehicle:
- Engine Oil Change
- Engine Coolant Replacement
- Transmission Fluid Flush
- Air Conditioning Fluid Replacement
