🔧 MYTH vs. REALITY 🔧

MYTH:
“You have to take your vehicle to the dealership for diagnostics and computer work.”

REALITY:
Independent shops like APS Automotive invest thousands of dollars every year in professional diagnostic equipment, software subscriptions, training, and manufacturer access.

Modern vehicles aren’t repaired with just wrenches anymore.

Today’s repairs often require:
✅ Advanced scan tools
✅ Live data analysis
✅ Module programming
✅ Electrical testing
✅ Software updates
✅ Ongoing technical training

At APS Automotive, we continuously invest in the equipment and training needed to diagnose and repair modern vehicles properly.

That means dealership-level diagnostics with the personalized service and honest conversations you’d expect from a family-run shop.

If your check engine light is on, warning lights are appearing, or your vehicle just isn’t driving right, we’re here to help.

🌡️ Your Temperature Gauge Is Not a Suggestion.

We’re starting to see more vehicles coming in with cooling system issues as the weather warms up.

The problem is that most cooling system failures don’t happen overnight.

A small coolant leak, weak radiator, sticking thermostat, aging hose, or failing water pump can slowly get worse until one hot day your vehicle overheats.

By then, what could have been a small repair can turn into:
❌ Overheating
❌ Towing bills
❌ Engine damage
❌ Head gasket repairs

Signs your cooling system may need attention:

🔹 Coolant smell
🔹 Coolant spots under your vehicle
🔹 Temperature gauge running higher than normal
🔹 Heater works inconsistently
🔹 Cooling fan running excessively
🔹 Low coolant level

A quick inspection now can help prevent a much bigger repair later.

Over the last couple months, we’ve had to make a difficult decision at APS Automotive.

Due to major increases in oil and parts pricing, our full synthetic oil change service has increased from $69.99 to $79.99.

To be fully transparent with our customers, our oil cost alone has jumped nearly $10 per bottle in a very short period of time, and supplies of certain grades like 0W20 have become harder to consistently get. When inventory becomes available, we’ve been purchasing in bulk just to make sure we can continue servicing the vehicles our customers rely on every day.

And it’s not just oil.

Filters, parts, shop supplies, fluids — nearly everything in the automotive industry has been increasing faster than we’ve ever seen before.

That said, we want everyone to know something important:

APS Automotive is still doing everything we can to keep repairs affordable and fair for our customers.

We are absorbing many of these increases ourselves wherever possible because we know families, seniors, and working people are all feeling the pressure right now too.

Recently, we had a senior customer experience an A/C condenser issue shortly after installation. The manufacturer agreed to replace the part under warranty, but labor typically is not covered. Knowing she lives on a fixed income, we worked with her because sometimes being part of a community means doing the right thing even when it costs you something.

That’s how we’ve always believed business should be done.

We truly appreciate every customer who supports local small businesses like ours. Your trust keeps independent shops alive, keeps local families employed, and allows us to continue helping people the best we can.

Thank you for sticking with us through these changing times.

🚨 Your brakes will usually warn you before they fail — the key is knowing what to listen for.

Here are some common brake sounds you should NEVER ignore:

🔊 High-pitched squealOften a warning indicator telling you your brake pads are getting low.

⚠️ Grinding noiseUsually means metal-on-metal contact — and that can quickly damage your rotors and calipers.

↩️ Noise only in reverse or forwardCan be worn pads, hardware issues, or rust buildup changing contact points.

🔄 Noise while turningSometimes it’s as simple as a backing plate rubbing the rotor — but it should still be inspected before it causes damage.

🚗 Vibration, pulling, or changes in braking feelThese can all point to brake or suspension issues that should be checked sooner rather than later.

The sooner brake problems are caught, the more likely you are to avoid larger repairs and unsafe driving conditions.

If something sounds different, feels different, or just doesn’t seem right — get it checked.

🔥 Throttle Body!!!

Your Tune-Up Might Be Missing This…

⸻

🔧 A Common Miss

When we do a tune-up, there’s something we always recommend — and for good reason.

👉 Throttle Body Cleaning + Fuel System Cleaning

Over time, carbon buildup and deposits can cause:
• Rough or unstable idle
• Poor fuel economy
• Sluggish throttle response
• Overfueling (which can damage your catalytic converter)

⸻

✅ Why it matters

Cleaning these systems helps:
✔ Restore smooth idle
✔ Improve fuel efficiency
✔ Keep your engine running properly
✔ Prevent costly issues down the road

⸻

Most people skip this — but it can make a big difference in how your vehicle runs.
