Kinda hard to see, but we have undercoating capabilities now! I like to use an oil/wax based undercoating. It does not last as long as a rubber or paint based solution, but offers a ton more rust protection as it will absorb into the metal and wont flake or hold moisture behind it!

I think Cassie did one hell of a fine job welding up this oil pot holder on the side of the drill press stand!

With the help of Loren, Ashlea, and Timmy, we made a new stand for the drill press last night! Looks pretty slick!

Jared's Shop now offers oil testing. We can send your engine oil, transmission fluid, gear oil, or practically any other automotive fluids to a lab to have them tested. Testing can give you early warning of problems and inform you about the condition of your car. Cost is $25 + Postage (only to cover lab fees... Your cost is my cost).

Make sure your gas cap is tight! Not only can a loose gas cap cause a check engine light, but it can also allow gasoline to evaporate from your tank! Improperly seated gas caps allow 147 million gallons of fuel to vaporize every year in the U.S.!

Use the correct octane fuel! Using fuel that is a higher octane than what your vehicle manufacturer calls for can actually lead to decreased fuel mileage with no increase in performance! Only high-performance motors benefit from higher octane fuel!
