Is that pesky TPMS light on? What does it mean anyway? Think you can ignore it? Don't! TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitor System and it alerts you to unsafe driving conditions. It means that one or more of your tires are either under-inflated or over- inflated. Did you know that under-inflated tires are responsible for 33,000 accidents and 600 fatalities a year? If your light is on, give us a call. Not only will we turn that light out for you but we will make sure that you don't have a tire problem and we will have you rolling out with the appropriate air pressures in all 4 tires. #TPMSlight #autorepairnearme #tires

“Does my car need an alignment?” We hear this asked everyday. If your car is pulling to one side, your steering wheel is crooked when going straight or you have uneven tire wear, you need an alignment. If any of these conditions describe you current situation, let us check your vehicle's alignment. In addition, it's a good idea to have an alignment check every year or so. This way we can catch a problem BEFORE you have uneven tire wear and have to replace 4 tires. We have the precision equipment to check your alignment and the experience and expertise to repair any issue. We have been performing alignments for Baltimore motorists for more than 60 years! #carpulling #tires #crookedsteeringwheel

I don't know about you but when we fall back and make that time change, there are a lot of things to get use to. I for one do not like it getting dark so early! It seems like we go to work in the dark and we come home from work in the dark. Another thing that I don't like is changing all the clocks! Changing the clock in your vehicle is one small thing that we can do for you. Just bring your owners manual with you and stop by. We will be glad to take this one task off your to do list! also, when you are changing the time on all your clock, change the battery in your smoke detectors at home. It could just save your life! #timechange #autorepair #autorepairnearme

Cooler temperatures are here and winter is sure to follow. Is your car ready for the cold weather? There are several things to check to make sure that your car is ready. First check your battery.The cold weather is very hard on your battery. As much as two times the normal current could be required when the temperatures are really low. A technician should run a battery test on your vehicle. Second, check your antifreeze. Your cooling system should be a 50/50 antifreeze and water mix to prevent freezing. Third, make sure that you wiper blades are in good shape to clear your windows. Also, check the state of your tires. Make sure they have good tread and are not dry rot. Also make sure that they have the correct amount of air in them. In order to be fully prepared, your vehicle should get a look over by an experienced technician. What's going on under your hood?? #coolingsystem #battery #wintercarmaintenance ... read more

Do you know why it is important to have your “timing belt” replaced? Do you know when to have it replaced? While we are at it, do you even know what it is and how important it is to your engine? Your timing belt is a belt that has teeth that turn the engine's camshafts and causes the valves to open and close at the right time. This allows for a smooth engine performance. If you have an interference engine, it is very important that you have it replaced BEFORE it brakes. If it brakes you can ruin your engine and have a costly repair. Different manufacturers have different recommendations for when it should be replaced. Give us a call and out experienced technicians can help you out with when to replace it, replace it if needed and just answer any questions that you may have.#timingbelt #carmaintenance #carrepairnearme
