How do I know if my motor mounts are bad? If they are worn out or worse yet broken, you will be able to feel you motor shift/move around. You may even hear a clunking noise, especially if more than one of them is broken. If you are feeling or hearing any new noises it is best to bring it into the shop so that we can check and make sure all is well. Having broken motor mount can cause more damage, replacing them is the thing to do.
My battery light is on, what do I do? If your Battery sign appears on dash board it could mean several things are faulty in your electrical system. You could have a bad battery or the cause could be a faulty alternator or loose cables. Bring your vehicle to us so we can check out your charging system before your car leaves you stranded.
Why is my car overheating?
A number of systems in your vehicle, when not operating properly, can cause your vehicle to overheat. Low coolant, broken water pump or a missing serpentine belt to name just a few. If your vehicle is overheating, we recommend that you have it towed in so as not to cause any further damage. Once you get it here, our Technicians will diagnose it, so that we can repair it and have you on your way in no time.
Hot weather is on it’s way this weekend. This is a friendly reminder to NOT leave your pets unattended in your vehicle. Sometimes we think we are just going to be able to run into a shop for a second, in and out, no problem. Then something happens and you get stuck in a long line, or the help is slow, whatever, it can make your “quick” stop into a long one, and this could be fatal to your beloved pet. So play it safe, leave them at home, or be able to take them in with you. It’s just no worth the risk!!

Our niece just asked us “Why should I do a pre-buyers inspection?” She is young and inpatient, and just wants this car. She didn’t want to wait for us to do the inspection. We finally got her to realize the importance of the inspection and she brought it in. Thank-goodness, she finally listened to us. This vehicle look really nice on the outside, I can understand why she wanted it so badly, but once we got it up in the air and could see the underside, it was a disaster. Rust everywhere, and a really BAD patch job on the exhaust. It was so bad, she figured it out all by herself. She was SO happy that she listened to us and didn’t spend the 13K on this vehicle. Please no matter how nice a car looks on the outside, always have a trained technician give the vehicle a good inspection…you won’t be sorry!
