Summer in Wisconsin means warm weather and high humidity, which can be tough on your vehicle's cooling system. It's important to keep your car's cooling system in good shape to prevent overheating and expensive repairs. We know it can be really frustrating when your air conditioning doesn't work on hot days. However, please don't use Freon kits from local stores. These kits can make repairs more expensive. Most Freon cans have Stop Leak, which can clog your A/C system. The Stop Leak is meant to fix leaks, but it often ends up blocking all the A/C parts, leading to more extensive and costly repairs. If you feel like your A/C is not working properly give us a call! At Bob’s Main Street Auto & Towing we’re here to help keep your vehicle in great running condition all year around! Stay cool on the road this summer

We’re diving into an important topic that affects the comfort and safety of your driving: SHOCKS & STRUTS. Whether you’re a new or experienced driver, understanding these components of your vehicle's suspension system can help you keep your vehicle in top shape. What Are Shocks and Struts? Shocks and struts are parts of your vehicle that help manage the impact and rebound motion of your vehicle's springs and suspension. To put it simply, they help absorb the bumps and potholes you drive over, so you can enjoy a smoother ride. The Role of Shocks and Struts Absorbing Bumps: The primary job of shocks and struts is to absorb the energy from road bumps that your vehicle's springs pick up, preventing your car from continuously bouncing on rough roads. Enhancing Comfort: By controlling the movement of the suspension and springs, shocks and struts make your car rides less bumpy and more comfortable. Improving Handling: These components help keep your car stabl ... read more
