Let’s talk about winterizing your vehicle!

It’s not as complicated as it sounds. It is super simple and can all be done when you schedule your next oil change! Wiper blades are one of the most neglected parts of a vehicle and should be replaced if there are any scratches in the rubber. Not replacing them when they are streaky, could cause snow and ice to build up faster. Even though they are rated for low temperatures, the changing weather can affect your battery. Having lower, sometimes freezing temperatures slow down the chemical reaction in your battery, weakening the power it distributes. Having the proper mixture in your cooling system is a key factor in making sure your hoses don’t freeze. Having too much water…

A standard OBD-II code reader (often used at parts shops) will only reveal the basic cause of the problem. To get to the root of the problem, you need an advanced scanner.

Car Parts Availability in 2021: Challenges and Solutions

We appreciate your patience during these challenging times and want to say THANK YOU! "The Biggest Supply Chain Disruption Since World War II" is causing delays and price increases in the automotive parts industry. COVID-19 shutdowns depleted the supply of car parts as manufacturing plants closed down worldwide. However, auto repair shops and parts vendors remained open as essential businesses. DIY auto repairs surged during the pandemic, leading to increased demand for parts. Consequently, we have depleted our stock of automotive parts. Skilled labor shortages in automotive manufacturing further delayed production and restocking due to unfilled manufacturing jobs and retirement of baby boomers. Raw material shortages, including steel, precious metals, microchips, chemicals, lubricants, and solvents, have contributed to limited supply…
