When does College start?

We have a lot of customers wondering when does college start?  Well it starts sooner than you think.  If you have a college student that is driving and has been all summer, and is getting ready to leave for college soon, it would be a very good idea to get their vehicle into the shop so that we can do a FREE vehicle health assessment before they leave for school.  Some, not all, young people don’t really pay attention to noises, squeals, rubbing, check engine lights, etc.  Why?  Because they love being able to be mobile, and don’t want to go a minute without their vehicle.  Also they tend to play their music loud so that they really can’t hear anything.  When they see their check engine light come on, they like to think its just a loose gas cap.  So we highly recommend that a parent drive the car, to see if anything is amiss, and then bring it in so that we can look it over, and make sure everything is in good order.  We want to give you peace of mind.  We have had kids away at college ourselves and know first hand how it can be a worry.  Heck even my daughter came home from college one time, missing her muffler…didn’t realize it was gone, due to the volume of her music!!  Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we hope to see you soon.

 

 

 

Where can I get my vehicle inspected for free?

Did you know that we do Free Vehicle Inspections?  We do a free vehicle health assessment everytime your vehicle is at our shop.  We want to make sure that your fluids, belts, hoses, brakes, suspension, and exhaust system are in tip top shape.  These inspections are then emailed to you so that you can see what we have found.  We take pictures of any issues we may find, plus on the report there are links to videos, so that you can learn more about how your vehicle functions.  After we send it to you, we give you a call, to answer any questions, and to also provide estimates for any needed work.  If you would like a FREE Vehicle Health Assessment, just give us a call, and we will set up an appointment for you!

Back to School

Do you have a student that is going back to school?  Are they taking a vehicle with them, across the state, several states, or even the country?  If so, we would like to offer you peace of mind, by performing a FREE vehicle inspection before they leave.  We will check all of the belts, hoses, brakes, exhaust system, A/C system, cooling system, suspension…even the tires.  Having your child drive off to school where you don’t see them every day isn’t easy..I know, but knowing that their vehicle is in good repair, does help give you peace of mind.  Nothing is worse than getting that phone call “Help, I’m broke down”  and it always in the middle of NO where!!  Don’t let that happen to your student, give us a call, and we will get them in ASAP..we will also set up a time for them to come back in next time they are home, so that we can check everything again!!  We don’t want you to ever have to worry about the vehicle they are driving, we will take care of it for you!

 

 

 

How much does it cost to have my vehicle inspected?

Are you going on a road trip and wondering how much an inspection on your vehicle would be?  Well, the good news is, that at Long’s Car Care Center, we perform what we call a Pre Road Trip inspection for FREE!!!!  We want you to have an enjoyable vacation, and we know that there is nothing worse than breaking down in the middle of nowhere.  We suggest having this inspection done at least a couple of weeks before you plan on leaving so just in case there is any work to be done, you would have plenty of time to get it done, and not be under the gun and stressing out.
