Is your car making a noise you can't quite figure out? 🤔🔧
Screeching, grinding, clicking, clunking... here's the thing: the same sound can come from a lot of different problems. A squeal could be your brakes, or it could be a belt. That's why we can't tell you what it is over the phone. It would only be a guess.
What we CAN do is find it and fix it. Give us a call at (410) 730-3839, tell us what you're hearing, and bring it in so our ASE-certified techs can take a look.

Did you know asphalt can reach over 140°F in the peak of summer? ☀️🔥

That extreme heat is your tires' and belts' worst enemy. High heat causes rubber to degrade faster, leading to dry rot, tire blowouts, and snapped serpentine belts.

3 quick things to check this month:

1️⃣ Tire pressure (heat increases PSI!)
2️⃣ Tread depth
3️⃣ Cracks in your engine belts

Notice anything off? Swing by LMT Auto Repair for a quick visual check before your next highway drive.

📍 Keep your ride rolling safely!
