CUSTOMER STATES: "The car runs terrible, and the brakes aren't working very well."

Well… they weren't kidding!

Brandon took this classic car for a test drive and quickly discovered he had to push the brake pedal practically to the FLOOR to get the brakes to engage!

So what was going on?

The engine was running terribly due to vacuum leaks and worn-out tune-up parts. It was running so poorly that the power brakes weren't getting the vacuum assistance they needed to work properly.

After a tune-up and adjusting the ignition timing, the engine is running great, and the power brakes are working like they should!

Sometimes a brake problem isn't actually caused by the brakes themselves!

Cold weather is coming! Is your vehicle ready?

We asked our guys what they think is most important for drivers to check before the temperatures drop.

Here's what they had to say!

Attempt #7… and those hard lines still weren’t going anywhere. 😂

Mayo was trying to get the old hard lines off the DPF so we could transfer them over to the new one on this Ford Transit.

After enough fighting with it, it's time to see if we can just get new ones.

Sometimes you have to know when to stop fighting the old parts.

This Jeep Commander came in for a weird noise… and there was a lot going on.

First, we found two completely different tire sizes on the front 265/60R18 on one side and 245/65R17 on the other. That difference in rolling diameter can put unnecessary stress on the differential and drivetrain.

Then we noticed the lift kit was installed on the front only, changing the suspension geometry and contributing to some pretty serious wear on the inside of the front tires.

Sometimes a weird noise leads you to a whole lot more.

Everyone had an answer for this one.

If you could pick ONE repair to never have to do again… what would it be?

Drum brakes? Wiring? Heater cores?

Apparently no repair is safe around here.

We asked the guys a very important question today…

If you had to get a car part tattooed on you, what are you picking?

And more importantly… where are you putting it?

We made a little pumpkin patch at the shop! If you’re stopping in for a service or repair, make sure you pick a pumpkin ...

This car came in sounding a little louder than it should.

Turns out, someone cut the catalytic converter right out.

Unfortunately, catalytic converter theft is still very much a thing and this is what it can sound like when yours is suddenly gone.

A leaking heater core turned into quite the project.
Getting to it meant pulling the dash apart and then putting everything back together once the repair is done.

Just another look at what goes into the repairs you don’t usually get to see!
