There's nothing worse than hopping into your car on a chilly October morning, turning the heat k**b to high, and getting hit with... ice-cold air! If your engine is warm but your defroster or heater vents are blowing cold air, you're likely dealing with a stuck heater control valve, an air pocket in your cooling system, or a clogged heater core.

🚩Red Flags to Watch For:

- A sweet, syrup-like smell coming from the vents.
- Damp carpet on the passenger-side floorboard.
- Windshield fogging up instantly when you turn on the defroster.

Don't freeze on your morning commute! Contact us to get your heating system flushed and working again.

From the outside, a transmission rarely looks urgent.

That is the whole problem.

Fresh fluid is red or gold, depending on your car. Worn fluid goes dark. It stops protecting the parts that keep you shifting smooth. You usually do not notice until the shifting feels off.

We would rather see you for the small job than the big one.

October is all about horror movies, but some things on the road are way scarier! Which of these gives you the biggest goosebumps?

A) Hearing a sudden loud POP on the highway at night 🛞💥

C) Stepping on the brake pedal and feeling it sink squishy to the floorboard 🛑🧽
D) Seeing smoke start creeping out from under the hood 💨

Whatever your driving nightmare is, regular preventative maintenance keeps the real horror stories off your daily commute! Turn to our shop for your auto services.

Have you ever heard the old advice that you should only pump gas early in the morning because fuel expands in the heat, giving you "less gas" for your money?

We’ve all heard it, but is it actually true? Consumer Reports put this legendary gas-station myth to the test to see if filling up during the hottest part of the day actually drains your wallet! Read the full verdict in this article.

It's a common myth that you get more gas for your money early in the morning because the temperature is cool. CR’s auto experts put this to the test.

"I found this place based off of like 5 recommendations from Facebook and saw it was near my house so I figured I'd give them a try. When I walked in the guy that greeted me at the door was very friendly. I asked him if they had time for an inspection and he said of course. I filled out a check in form handed him my keys. Before I could even settle down and start really waiting they called my name letting me know my truck was finished and ready to go. Payment was smooth and easy. They even gave me a little oil since I was running low on the house. I will absolutely return for a repair should I need it. 10/10 service"
