Have you heard the phrase "If it looks, sounds, and feels like trouble it is"?  In the case of vehicle trouble, the more you know about your vehicle, the more likely you'll be able to head off repair problems. You can detect many common vehicle problems by using your senses: eyeballing the area around your vehicle, listening for strange noises, sensing a difference in the way your vehicle handles, or even noticing unusual odors. 

There is a list put together by the Federal Trade Commission on vehicle auto repair basics that we would like to share with you.

Do you hear a funny clicking sound when you turn the wheels of your vehicle? It could be your car or truck CV or Drive Axle, and it may be in need of repair. Safety is the number one priority for our customers, and it is our goal to keep your vehicle running smoothly to avoid any complications. Driving around with a damaged CV Joint or Drive Axle problem can be extremely dangerous. The axle is a structural component that bears the weight of the vehicle, any cargo and the acceleration forces between you and the ground, so it is important to have your vehicle inspected regularly by a trained automotive repair professional to ensure its safety.

JASPER remanufactured transmissions? We do those too! Call and ask about your re power options. We can discuss the options and offer a peace of mind decision when deciding between repowering the vehicle or replacing it.  The nationwide warranty coverage is outstanding. 

Getting ready for a Vacation?   Don't take a road trip without first getting your car or truck checked out for potential problems by our team of professional automotive technicians!    This will save you from a disaster while you travel!   You don't want to spend your time of "FUN AND RELAXATION" in a garage or even worse, on the highway!!!!  We want to keep you safe and confident behind the wheel.

Most auto owners come to the shop with specific services in mind and an idea of how much they’ll be spending.  Sometimes, a courtesy car inspection and a review of your service history will uncover additional items that require attention. How should you react to that?

Here’s some advice: It’s not as if your service advisor is saying “Do you want fries with that?” or “Supersize for 59 cents more.” We are not recommending something extra or something you don’t need. Recommendations are either based on the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule or on a problem uncovered during an automotive analysis.
