If covid wasn't hard enough getting parts, the USA is currently still on strike. Parts from the dealerships from the states that are in stock are now on backorder due to the strike. Also friendly reminder to keep your vehicles maintained. Looks like the cost of vehicles won't be dropping too quickly 😔

The United Auto Workers strike threatens to put pressure on already-high car prices.

Fun little article about running premium vs regular fuel. The situation ALWAYS depends on your vehicle specifically, there is no concrete yes or no on what fuel to run.Good news is all cars are designed to run on 87 fuel but for optimal performance, 91 or 93 may be the right answer.

We tested higher octane fuel than manufacturers require on the Honda CR-V, BMW M5, Ford F-150, and Dodge Charger to see if it impacted acceleration or MPG.

Quick 7 minute video from one of our techs favorite YouTube channels. Just an insight on what exactly your motor oil is doing and the importance of oil changes. Each oil has its own personal touch on additives. One of our techs favorite brand is Motul for the high oxidation additives, says from personal experience that it's slowed down the oil consumption on his vehicles.

This is the difference 43 years makes when it comes to fitting a v8 into a vehicle. We got a 2012 audi s5 and a 69 Lincoln mark. Things are definitely getting more and more compact! Let's just say we can no longer sit inside the engine bay while we work 😪
