Your brake fluid should be serviced when it begins to get moisture contamination. This depends on the climate and the area where you live. Your brake fluid services your entire braking system so it is just as important that it is in good condition as it is for the rest of your brake components. If you brake fluid has to much moisture contamination it can cause it to "boil" and that can cause a failure of your other braking components.  Give us a call and let us take care of you.  Happy Adventures, Heather

If your car sounds loud it could be the the engine fan running constantly. When the coolant is low the engine can go into limp mode to protect it from damage, and it will turn on the engine cooling fans to keep the engine at a safe temperature.  If you're having issues then it should be looked at as soon as possible. Give us a call or request an appointment online.  Happy Adventures, Heather

Your serpentine belt may be squeaking from age or it could have gotten something on it, oil perhaps? It is something that should be checked out, sometimes it's as easy as the belt has stretched and it just needs an adjustment or it could be due for replacement.  Happy Adventures, Heather

I know today is black Friday and that itself has become a national holiday, but with all of that please remember to shop at the local stores in your town. They are small businesses trying to provide for there families, they work long hours with very little reward other than to know they are making a difference in the lives of the people who they employ and to there children. We are a small business too and sometimes people forget.  Please remember to shop small and support that local family who is doing their best to make a difference. Happy Adventures,  Heather
