The single most important act you can do to get the longest life from your vehicle is to follow your manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. You’ll have a safer ride, longer service life, and better resale value toward your next vehicle.

Your vehicle battery takes a beating these days, with all the electronic systems on today’s vehicles. Their service life is now just 2-5 years! If you’re coming up on that date, or if you have any recurring electrical issues, we can check it and make sure you’ve got enough battery power for your needs.

In most vehicles, brakes need replacing only once or twice in 100,000 miles. It’s really a matter of how you drive that determines how long they will last. Always use top quality parts for the safest brakes possible.

Your transmission is a system that gets little attention in today’s vehicles. But they still go through just as much stress and wear as they did decades ago. Be sure and have your transmission serviced as recommended by the manufacturer for a long and trouble-free life.” so it will be easy to find.

Your nose can tell you a lot about how your vehicle is operating. There are numerous materials and fluids that all have certain properties for normal operation, but once they get too hot, they will produce a noticeable smell. A sweet, acrid smell is likely electrical wiring, and since wiring is well hidden it’s best to evacuate a vehicle with this smell.

Your vehicle comes with instructions; it’s most often called an “Owner’s Manual” or “Operating Guide.” Inside, you’ll find information about every aspect of your new vehicle, from how to start it, to where to find fuses, and when to get maintenance done. Trust this booklet, as millions of dollars have been invested by the manufacturer in the procedures they provide. We are happy to help you, so come on in and we’ll discuss your needed maintenance requirements and how we can help you stay on track!

Out of the blue, there’s suddenly green, red, or other color fluids under my car. WHAT’S GOING ON!! No need to panic…yet. Depending on the manufacturer, some coolants are red, some are green, and some are yellow. Never mix colors, and always use the color your vehicle already has in the radiator. Also, many transmission fluids are red. If any of these are under your car, you have a leak, and it needs to be addressed. If it’s monstrously large, don’t drive the car, have it towed to avoid more damage.

Fuel costs continue to rise, and there are ways to minimize the damage to your bank account. Keep your car in its best tune at all times. Replace the air filter no later than when scheduled. Keep your fuel injection system clean, so it operates more efficiently. Fuel up when it’s cooler, so the fuel you buy is more dense. And consolidate trips and drive a little slower, to get the maximum miles per gallon of fuel. Come in and see us for more gas-saving tips!

Modern vehicles now have a filter, similar to the engine air filter, in the cabin ventilation system. It does the same function, that of removing dust, particles, and pollen from the ventilation air. In some luxury brands, this is a HEPA filter for its better filtering properties. Usually well-located for maintenance, this filter should be changed often to protect your family from airborne contaminants. We know where it is , and can change it for you at your next service.

Just like your steering system, your brake system is a major part of controlling your vehicle once it starts moving. The braking system is what slows you down, allowing you to safely enter a corner or driveway and keep control. It stops you whenever you want to stop, or immediately if there’s an emergency ahead. There are many parts to your braking system, and they need to be inspected regularly. Make an appointment today so you can keep your family safe.

How did your wipers work the last time it rained? Did they skip, streak, split or squeak? If so, now is the time to have them replaced. It’s a quick maintenance option that will increase your visibility in the rain, helping you to drive safely, as well as protect your glass from scratching. Don’t forget the rear wiper, if you have one. Because when it’s raining and you’re backing up, being able to see is important too!

The key to a car running at its best is basic maintenance. Keeping up with fluid changes, tire checks, filter changes and other services will help avoid bigger and more expensive repairs.

At home you change your furnace filter, but what about your vehicle’s Cabin Air Filter? If you or your loved ones suffer from allergies due to airborne particles, the cabin air filter purifies the air in your passenger compartment by filtering pollen, dust, and other contaminants. It also helps keep the interior of your vehicle clean and fresh.

Maybe you’ve neglected the “Oil Change” light a little too long. A clean engine is a well-running engine, and a clean filter means that your oil stays as clean as it can for as long as it can.

There are several different types of antifreeze and coolant products. Some manufacturers require a specific type to be used that is compatible with the alloy your engine is made from. We know what works best for your vehicle and driving, so come on by and get the coolant service your car deserves!

What kind of spare tire does your vehicle have? Surprisingly for most people, cars today may not even have a spare…only a patch kit and a can of sealant! Check your owner’s manual for this information, and be sure to know the location of your spare tire or kit.

Tires need tread depth to provide grip and to channel water away from the point of road contact. As tread decreases, there is less traction available, and your vehicle can slide, or even hydroplane in wet weather. We’ll check your tread depth and let you know when it’s time for change.

Brake pads come in a variety of materials, based upon how they will be used on your vehicle. Some will stop quicker than others; some may create more brake dust on your wheels. Some are quieter than others, too. Talk to us when it’s time to replace your brake pads, and we’ll set you up with the right ones for your driving needs.

Hoses and serpentine belts are items that need regular inspection for wear. The serpentine can fray and break, causing the loss of power steering, electrical power, and engine cooling. Hoses can develop leaks, losing your engine coolant and causing your car to overheat. Whenever that hood is up, have the technician give a quick inspection.

Tire Care. Like a good pair of shoes, your tires are what keep you connected to the road. Even if you’ve recently replaced your tires, checking your air pressure, and getting them rotated are other ways to take care of your Valentine this year by keeping them safe on the road

Your transmission puts the engine power to the wheels, and it needs regular maintenance just like any other system on your vehicle. Scheduled maintenance includes changing the fluid, and adding a new filter. If you’ve never had your transmission serviced, you may be unaware of the damage being done!

Greetings! I read your help wanted ad on Craigslist- it interested me to the point of contacting you about employment. My name is Mike Moffett, although I go by the nick-name of Doc. I am a forty-year veteran of the auto repair business, Having on pretty much all makes and models, and have worked in 4 different states. I currently reside in Omaha, As my family and grand kids live here. I have been back for 15 years. I am well-tooled, and have vast experience. I am currently not working; the last separation having been due to a pay dispute. My phone number is 402-706-3241. I can be reached anytime. Thank You, Mike moffett. (Doc)
Can you list what makes of cars you service specifically? I can see Honda, Toyota, Volkswagon, Audi and BMW. But do you do Mazda and Nissan too? What about Mitsubishi?
I went in today to see if they could work on my sons Passat. The man who came to assist me said they are not taking any new customers during the summer. Its April and spring time not June. When I asked if he could recommend someone I was told no just check around he did not know anyone. I seriously doubt he did not know because he is in the business of foreign cars.This is very bad business. Don't tell me its summer when it's not and have a recommendation for someone who wanted your business that you won't provide for. I have been in the customer service business for 24 years and know what bad service is. This business provides poor customer service.
