Back in the day it pretty much meant you needed to go shopping for a brand new car when the odometer turned over to 100,000 miles. The components would be completely worn out and the body would more than likely be the worse for wear too. Today’s cars are designed to keep going and…
I recently heard about a couple that were taking a well-earned vacation in when they received a call from their son who was in college. “Dad, how does this car insurance thing work again?” Not a comforting call. He didn’t want to disturb his dad while he was on vacation but since he was…
Football season is here again and even though we aren’t football superstars, we are the superstars of auto service and repair! Just like a football game where it takes each player doing their job correctly to have a winning team, it takes each component operating in peak efficiency to have a properly running car!…

Keep in mind that the automotive industry doesn’t have any standards for service or repairs. The owner nor mechanic do not have to be certified. This makes it vitally important that you do your research very carefully. Remember…no matter what price you are quoted, someone else can always come in lower but make sure…
I have written in the past about our cars being computers-on-wheels that constantly collect data. What if they were required to share that collected data with government agencies. I know…this sounds like George Orwell’s novel, 1984 doesn’t it? Could our car become, in some form, Big Brother? What if you find yourself zipping…
Twice a year the Car Care Council, a non-profit organization, celebrates National Car Care Month. This happens in April and again in October. The reason they feel the need to spend money on advertising the importance of car care is because so many consumers don’t take care of their vehicles properly. Neglect of this…
Are you one of those people that wait until a warning beeps or the low fuel light illuminates? Do you feel confident you can go several more miles before actually running out of gas? Do you make a game of “I think I can, I think I can” meaning I think I can get…

We love being your personal mechanic.
Sincerely,
Gene of Certified Automotive Specialists
