MAINTENANCE TIP- Clean those leaves off your windshield!
November’s beautiful leaves aren’t as pretty when they end up packed into your hood cowling, the space between your hood and your windshield. They’re especially ugly when they cause damage to your vehicle. If you leave them unattended, leaves can clog drains in your cowling resulting in water draining into the interior of your vehicle where it can cause expensive damage. Delicate electronics, clogged cabin air filters, and mildewed carpets are just the most likely possibilities. Take a few moments to scrape that goo away and you’ll be less likely to need our services!

Latest Automotive Recalls
Automobiles are just like any other product; occasional flaws in manufacture or design can cause problems once they leave the factory. When an issue is identified the manufacturers and government work hard to bring the vehicles back in for refit or repair, but not all recalls make the front pages.
