This vehicle was towed to us because it was having issues starting. Something was trying to make a home under the hood 👀.
Do you think it was a squirrel, mouse, or bird? 🧐

🎃Happy Halloween 🎃

Tomorrow is National Cat Day and the purrfect way to celebrate all cats is to remember how to keep them safe during the colder months ahead.
Cats are known to be attracted to the warmth of car engines when seeking out shelter when it’s cold. If you park outside, on the street, or even have easily accessible garage, cats will find a way to escape the cold.
🐈 The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) recommends sprinkling cayenne pepper around your car. It could take a few days to start working, but it’s proven to work.
🐈⬛ You can also try a commercial spray call Nature’s Mace Cat Repellent. Just like cayenne pepper, this can be sprayed around to keep cats away.
🐈 A simple check under the hood and between the tires and wheel wells is helpful before starting your car.
🐈⬛ If you discover a cat in your car and they are trapped, please call your local police or fire department to help.

“Can’t you just pull the code and tell me why my check engine light is on?”
We get asked this question a lot when it comes to diagnostic work and usually the answer is no. It’s take time to properly diagnose a vehicle and the picture below is a great example. Diagnostic tools provide direction and guidance to where the problem actually lies.
We are however equipped with the right tools to diagnose and fix it right the first time.

Did you know that as a vehicle owner, it is your responsibility to regularly check your oil levels?
Most vehicles alert drivers when it time for an oil change but the issue isn’t the oil, it’s running low or out of oil. Engines that run on low or out of oil can cause catastrophic damage resulting in pricy repairs.
Here is a great video explaining how to check your oil levels. As always, if you are unsure or need help, we are here for you!

Happy National Name Your Car Day 🚙
Comment below and tell us what you named your car!
Brian Skay named his 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo, Monte.
A study done in 2018, found that “53% of American drivers who name their cars give them a name that starts with the letter ”B”. Of those who name their cars, 70% are men and ‘Baby’ was the number one name.”
Here are a few other top names:
🚗Betsy/Betty
🚙 Beast

The dreaded low tire pressure light! Nothing like getting in your car in the morning to go to work and seeing the low tire pressure light come on 😬.
Chances are there may nothing wrong with your tires because it’s common to see this dreaded light with large swings in temperatures between day and night.
If you have concerns that it is not temperature related, give us a call and we’d be happy to check your tires!
