You wouldn't try to run a marathon while breathing through a straw, right? 🏃‍♂️ That’s exactly what your engine is doing when it has a clogged air filter. Your engine air filter is the only thing standing between that grit and the internal components of your motor. A dirty filter restricts airflow, which forces your engine to work harder and burn more fuel just to keep up. Stop by our shop for a filter change and all your other maintenance needs!

Your cooling system’s job is much harder in the spring and summer as the ambient temperature rises. Coolant does more than just prevent overheating, but it also contains additives that protect your water pump and radiator from internal rust and scale. Over time, that fluid becomes acidic and loses its protective properties. A cooling system flush is a simple preventative service that can save you from a much more expensive head gasket or radiator replacement down the road.

Quick tip: Take a quick look under your car in the morning. If you see bright green, orange, or pink fluid on the driveway, give us a call before that small leak becomes a big problem.

If you could buy your next SUV with "Prime Shipping," would you do it? 📦 This article shows that most drivers are saying "No Thanks." They want to hear the engine run and feel the seats before they sign on the dotted line.

Cast your vote in the comments:
A) "I’d do it! Save me the trip to the dealership."
B) "No way. I need to talk to a human and take a test drive."
C) "Only if they can drone-deliver it to my driveway today!"

Dealers are reportedly unimpressed with sales.

Is your check engine light the only thing cluttering up your dashboard this spring? 💡⚠️ Spring cleaning isn't just about physical dirt, but it's about clearing out those lingering to-do items. If you’ve been ignoring a warning light or a maintenance reminder since the holidays, now is the time to address it.

Have you ever seen a car nameplate that made you do a double-take? 🧐 It turns out, car manufacturers love to recycle names, even when the vehicles have absolutely nothing in common. From the Dodge Charger (which went from a muscle car to a subcompact hatchback and back again) to the Mitsubishi Eclipse, some names have lived many different lives. 🏎️♻️

Check out this list of "name-sharers" from CarBuzz and see which one surprises you the most!

Automakers have the entire dictionary and alphabet to come up with a name for their new car, yet still land on the same one.
