Your headlights play a key role in keeping you safe on the road, helping you see clearly, and ensuring other drivers can see you. If your headlights are dim, cloudy, or not working properly, it can reduce visibility and increase your risk while driving. Regularly check and replace bulbs or restore cloudy lenses to keep your headlights shining bright!

Is your car leaking oil when parked? Noticing oil spots under your car could mean a leak that needs immediate attention! Whether it is a damaged gasket, oil pan, or bad seal, stop in and let our team help prevent further damage.

Fall has officially arrived! As we enter the fall season, here are some car maintenance tips to keep in mind.

🍂 Check your battery: Make sure your battery cables and terminals are clean, tight, and free of corrosion. Bad connections can prevent enough voltage from getting your vehicle to start.

🍂 Test your lights: Protect yourself and others on the road by testing your headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals to confirm they're in working order. Replace any bulbs that have burned out or have someone check the electrical system if you're experiencing other issues.

🍂 Crank the heat: Prepare for the cooler temperatures by making sure your heat is in working order and that your dehumidifier is working for the interior of your vehicle.

🍂 Check suspension: Make sure to have someone check your suspension and steering system so that you can remain safe while on the road. Any worn out shock absorbers, struts, or related components can make your car more difficult to control.

🍂 Inspect your tires: Regardless of the season, check the tread, inflation, and overall condition of your tires.

Is your car getting fewer miles per gallon than you are used to? With gas prices this high, it is important to get the most out of your car. Common causes of decreased fuel economy are underinflated or worn tires, dirty or clogged air filters, worn spark plugs, or a faulty oxygen sensor.

Get the most out of every gallon by staying on top of your car's maintenance. If you notice a drop in your fuel economy, bring your car in and let our team help find the cause.

Your wheel bearings let your wheels rotate smoothly while supporting your vehicle's weight. Like other components, they can wear over time, so it is important to know when to replace them.

If you are experiencing loose or unusual steering, uneven tire wear, unusual noises when you accelerate or turn, or vibrations coming from the steering wheel, it is time to have your car checked. A failing wheel bearing can affect your vehicle’s handling and safety, so don’t ignore unusual noises or changes in how your vehicle drives.

Your radiator plays a critical role in keeping your engine from overheating. When it starts to fail, catching the warning signs early can help prevent costly engine damage.

Signs of a failing radiator are engine temperature running higher than normal, coolant leaks or puddles under your vehicle, low coolant levels or needing to refill frequently, steam or an overheating engine, and/or a sweet smell coming from under the hood. If you are experiencing any of these signs, don't ignore them and make sure to bring your car in for a look.

Your brakes are something that should never be ignored! If you are experiencing squeaking or squealing when braking, grinding or metal-on-metal sounds, a longer stopping distance, or vibrations/pulsating when you brake, then it is time to have your brake pads replaced.

When it comes to your brakes, don't take any chances. Make your way over to us and let us help keep you safe.

On the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, let us remember the lives that were lost and to never forget the courage displayed by our first responders.

Trying to drive without power steering? Without power steering, you need much more effort, and tight turns, parking, and emergency maneuvers become harder. If your power steering fails while driving, grip the steering wheel firmly, signal and slow down gradually, steer smoothly onto the shoulder, turn on your hazard lights, and call for professional help.
