WHAT DOES THE DRIVETRAIN DO?  Our vehicle's drivetrain connects the engine to the wheels which makes the vehicle to move. As our vehicles engine is running, the drivetrain helps send power through the transmission to the drive wheels. The drive wheels can be either the front wheels, rear wheels or all the wheels. They also may be referred to as front-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drive.  HOW CAN I TELL WHICH TYPE OF DRIVETRAIN MY VEHICLE HAS?  As easy as this sounds you may look in your owner's manual and it should have it stated in there. If you are not able to find it in the manual, here is another way to find out. If the engine is mounted sideways this means the belts will also face sideways. If the belts face one side of the vehicle or the other, it is probably front-wheel drive. If the engine is mounted front-to-back with the belts facing you as you stand in front of the vehicle it is likely rear-wheel drive.  PARTS OF THE DRI ... read more

As Labor Day is one of the most traveled holiday, make sure your vehicle is ready for the road. Before you hit the road please keep in mind to check things like fluids, wipers, hoses, and belts. Make sure your vehicle has the correct amount of engine oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid. Your vehicle's battery should also be checked. Heat evaporates battery fluid which can speed up corrosion. The weather is also still warmer so be sure that the A/C is working up to the standards. Lastly, check tire pressure and all lights to make sure they are all working properly. If you have any questions about items stated above please give us a call and we will be happy to assist you

As the end of August is approaching us, kids are going to be on their way back to school. With that being said that means we have closed another successful school drive. This year we were able to raise a total of $738.06. Thank you to everyone who made a cash donation or a school supply donation. Without all your generosity we would not be able to do this for our community. With the donations we are able to help over 500 kids within Washington County. Thank you all again, we couldn't do it without you!

Are you driving down the road and feeling a vibration you have never noticed before? The vibration can be caused by a few things. It could be something as easy as your tire unbalanced and just needing to be rebalanced. If you hit something prior to the vibration starting it may mean the rim possibly bent or a suspension component may have been damaged. A driveline U-joint also could cause the vehicle to shake. A U-joint is a component that connects the driveshaft to the differential and sometimes will connect the driveshaft to the transmission. It may even connect two driveshafts to each other.
