Just Ask!



We get it…we love our trucks and cars just like you do! If you didn’t, you wouldn’t bother caring for them or getting minor issues fixed when needed. We are here to take care of all issues from maintenance to “motor-meltdown!” There are several things you should be asking us or your technician when getting service for your car.

How’s the Exhaust System? When is the last time you got under your car and checked out your exhaust? That’s what we thought. Make sure to get this looked at, if your technician doesn’t normally. A bent pipe or leak could cause even worse problems down the road.

Is My Battery OK? With the cold weather already creeping in, it’s a good time to get the health of the battery checked. Most service facilities have battery testers.

Are My Tires Worn and How’s the Pressure? If your tires are worn, that could mean even more problems for the car. It could affect alignment and steering. This is a simple check; same with tire pressure. Ask to get it checked at the start of the service and again at the end to see if there’s a possible leak.

What is that Noise? Trying to pinpoint the cause of a strange noise in your car can make anyone go crazy! If you hear something, ask the tech to drive the car to hear for it. Describing the sound is great...but they do need to hear it to guess where it’s coming from.

It’s always better to be safe than sorry. A minor problem today could become major very quickly.
