One of the biggest secrets to reaching 300,000 miles is simply addressing problems immediately. In this Autoblog article, experts explain how ignoring a small issue leads to "cascading failures", where one cheap part failing ends up ruining multiple expensive ones.

These simple maintenance habits can keep your vehicle running far longer than you think.

🛑 STOP! Before you check your coolant level, remember the #1 Rule of Radiators: NEVER open the cap while the engine is hot. Opening that cap on a hot engine is like opening a shaken-up soda bottle, but with 220-degree liquid.

The best way to go about it is to check the "overflow" plastic reservoir (the see-through tank) while the engine is cool. If it’s below the "Full" line, give us a call. We’ll top you off and check for the "why" behind the low level!

We often get asked: " Can I just buy one of those recharge cans from the parts store?" 🤔

The truth is, your A/C is a sealed system. If it needs more refrigerant, it means there is a leak somewhere. Adding a "quick fix" can often introduce air or moisture into the system, which can eventually ruin your parts. Our mechanics can recover the old refrigerant, vacuum-test the system for leaks, and refill it to the exact amount required by the manufacturer. Do it right the first time and stay cool all summer long! 🧊

Hey everyone — Dave here from Main Street Garage 👋
Memorial Day weekend is coming up and I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has served or is currently serving in the military 🇺🇸
With summer right around the corner, this is usually when we start seeing vehicles come in with overheating issues, weak batteries, worn belts, coolant leaks, and AC problems. The heat definitely exposes problems that may have been hanging on through winter.
So we decided to run a few specials through 5/29:
🔧 $25 OFF services over $250
🔧 $50 OFF services over $500
🔧 $75 OFF services over $750
These discounts also apply to previously quoted repairs if you’ve been holding off on getting something done 👍
(One offer per vehicle. Cannot combine offers.)
If your vehicle has been needing maintenance, making noises, leaking, overdue for service, AC not blowing cold, or you just want to get ahead of summer problems before they leave you stranded, give us a call and we’ll be happy to help.
Thanks again for all the support — we really appreciate this community and everyone that trusts us with their vehicles.
