                                    I know it is crazy to think summer is nearing the end and the cooler weather is right around the corner. We want to beat the storm and make sure our vehicles are ready for the colder weather. Tires are very important to stay up on because they are the only contact your vehicle has with the road. Tire rebates are beginning which is another indicator that it is time to start inspecting our tires. Call us today to inquire information on tires and which rebates are available. We are ready to serve you and get your vehicle ready for winter before it is here! 

We often get questioned if we work with aftermarket warranties and the answer is yes! We try to be your one stop shop and make it as easy as possible as we know vehicle repairs can be stressful. All we need when you drop your vehicle off is your warranty companies name, phone number and your contract number. This can all be found on the service agreement you receive from the aftermarket warranty. Call us today to schedule an appointment. We service all makes and models, domestic or foreign.

If the battery is drained down to low, you may notice that there's no sounds or interior lights that illuminate. You can try jump starting the vehicle. If jump starting the vehicle is successful there is a good chance that you have a battery issue. Signs of a bad alternator can be things such as dimming lights and possible stereo issues. If the vehicle starts but stalls out, your battery may not be getting charged due to the faulty alternator. If the battery light pops on the dash, that can also inform you of a faulty al ... read more
