How often should I rotate my tires?  Your tires should be rotated every other oil change, or every 6000 miles. Neglecting to rotate tires is a major cause of premature tire wear

Is it really necessary to replace my timing belt at the manufacturer recommended interval?  YES. The failure of a timing belt in many cars can result in major engine damage. The cost of repairing an engine with a broken timing belt is much greater than the cost of a timing belt replacement.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System Can Saves Lives   Most people ignore their tires, yet tires are undoubtedly a critical safety component on a vehicle. Where the rubber meets the road affects traction, handling, steering, stability and braking. Because of this, a sudden tire failure can have serious consequences, especially if it occurs when operating at high speeds.

Engine oil is what lubricates a car's engine, allowing it to run smoothly and last longer.  Car owners must maintain a car's engine by changing the oil and using the oil appropriate for their cars make and model. Every car comes with a “check oil” light and an oil filler under the hood. These components allow car owners to monitor their oil levels and add oil as needed, without having to hire a mechanic.

Brakes are pretty much the most important safety device on your car. If you’ve ever partially lost your brakes in the past, you’ll agree that it’s not something you want to experience again. Inspecting your brakes twice a year for wear and damage can protect you and your passengers. Additionally, it will also help save you money by catching any damage before it becomes too costly.

Thank you for helping me make a dream come true.  The car speaks for itself!  - Ben Jarrard, One happy customer!

The great thing about today's technology and a shop as big as ours is that we can work on everything!  Our alignment pit is the only one in the area big enough to work on the large diesel trucks and then there are beauties like this.

This place is awesome! The fuel lift pump on my motorhome started leaking diesel. They got me right in. Ordered the part from Cummings diesel and fixed my problem right away. The fellas at this shop were all friendly! They worked on everything, cars and big diesel trucks! They were accurate with their estimate. Price was more than fair! 

I would recommend this shop to anyone. This shop doesn't have a fancy waiting area, but the work was on point, and the price is right. I travel in my motorhome with my family so I am very careful on selecting who will work on it. This place came highly recommended by a long time local. Great family owned place that take pride in what they do and don't rip people off! Not many like this left! They also only employ ASE certified techs ( they had a sign outside help wanted ASE tech) awesome place.   -  Thanks from Danny R of West Hartford CT, passing through with a 5 star review on YELP!
