Coming Soon!!!
We are in the process of opening our newest location which will be ready in January 2012. This is our first car service facility that we have built from the ground up and we are very excited about the services we can provide our customers from this location. This modern 10 bay facility is conveniently located just a couple of miles between the South Park and Ballantyne areas at 6625 Carmel Road. We are moving Duane Hutcheson from our Dilworth location to manage the store and we have hired Ed Cruz to take over for Duane at the Dilworth location. So watch for the "Now Open" sign at the corner of Carmel Road and Highway 51 and visit our newest facility.

Maintaining Present Vehicle May Make Financial Sense
Although you may want to get rid of your present vehicle in favor of a new car, taking better care of your current set of wheels may make much more sense in the long run-helping you achieve a goal of financial freedom. Today's vehicles can easily go over 200,000 miles if maintained properly.

Pressure Check
Tires are the most neglected part of an automobile, buy an inexpensive tire gauge and check the pressure every other week or come to us and we will check it for you. Not having the tire inflated properly will cause lower fuel mileage and increased tire wear, but it's also a safety issue.

Fully En-Gauged
Your vehicles gauges will alert you to potential problems, consult the owner's manual and familiarize yourself with the symbols and lights on your dash. When you see low oil pressure or low oil level lights and/or high readings on the temperature gauges, stop and have the vehicle towed to us or if you are on the road to the closest repair facility. These warnings can cause severe damage if you continue to drive.

Be sure to update your email and home address when you visit us next time, we will be sending reminders to help you keep up with your inspection renewals.

Safety Tip: Lights should be inspected regularly.
Check to see that bulbs are illuminated, and headlights are properly aimed. If you have scratches and your headlight lens are cloudy ask us how we can refinish them for you while you vehicle is serviced.

Get fluent about fluids
The liquids that go into your car (gas, oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid, etc.) are crucial to its survival. To extend the life of your car beyond 100,000 miles, experts suggest frequent oil changes and fluid checks done at qualified repair center. Most quick-change lube shops do not have extensive training. Often, "they don't have experience so they'll top off long-life fluid with non-long-life or they'll put power-steering fluid where the brake fluid ought to be." These mistakes cause damage, but the car owner won't realize it until well after the discount oil change was done. In choosing oil, use what the vehicle manufactures recommend. Gasoline also matters: Different cars benefit from different types, so check your manual. Some Hondas, which run really hot because of the compression recommend premium, when in doubt use what the manufacturers recommend.

Winter and Bad Weather
It's just around the corner, are you ready? Our 28 point inspection can help you be prepared for the winter driving season; we examine your vehicle and let you know what condition your vehicle is in. We check the lights, the suspension and steering, brakes, tires and all fluid levels to make sure you ready for winter. Now is a great time to throw a few things in your trunk just in case. Gloves, a blanket, extra coat, small shovel, jumper cables and a flashlight with new batteries are great items to have in case of emergency.
