October is National Car Care Month! If you haven’t done a fall checkup yet, don’t sweat it. There’s still plenty of time to get your vehicle ready before winter. Taking care of small things now (like testing your battery, topping off fluids, and setting tire pressures) saves you from big, expensive surprises later. Consider this your friendly reminder!

If coming to a stop at a red light sounds like a creaky closet door in a haunted house, your brakes are screaming for help! 😱 That high-pitched screeching or harsh metallic scraping is your brake pad wear indicator grinding. Crisp stopping power is important, so turn to our mechanics for quality brake service!

Notice a steady flutter or vibration in your hands once you hit a higher speed, but it goes away at lower speeds? That's a classic sign of unbalanced wheels! Over time, small wheel weights can fall off your rims, or tire rubber wears unevenly. At high speeds, even a tiny weight imbalance creates a harsh wobble that wears out your suspension components fast. A fast spin-balance gets your ride smooth again! Make an appointment with our shop today.

"My 22-year-old son has a 2015 Dodge Challenger that has been giving me headaches since we bought it four years ago! 😩

When his car broke down, I called numerous automotive shops trying to get quotes and figure out where to have it towed. It was actually while waiting for the tow truck to arrive that I came across Clarke Automotive during an online search, and I’m so glad I did!

From the very first phone call, their customer service exceeded my expectations. They were friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. What really stood out to me was that out of all the places I contacted, Clarke Automotive was the ONLY one that asked for the vehicle’s VIN! That immediately gave me a good impression of their attention to detail.

The problem turned out to be exactly what we suspected: a faulty fuel pump.

Something else that reassured me was when the tow truck driver mentioned that they bring vehicles to Clarke Automotive on a daily basis. That made me feel even more confident about my decision.

After four years of dealing with headaches over this car, I cannot express how relieved I am to have finally found an automotive shop I feel I can trust!

Excellent customer service, professionalism, and a great first experience. I will absolutely be returning for any future automotive needs and highly recommend Clarke Automotive! ❤️"

There's nothing worse than hopping into your car on a chilly October morning, turning the heat k**b to high, and getting hit with... ice-cold air! If your engine is warm but your defroster or heater vents are blowing cold air, you're likely dealing with a stuck heater control valve, an air pocket in your cooling system, or a clogged heater core.

🚩Red Flags to Watch For:

- A sweet, syrup-like smell coming from the vents.
- Damp carpet on the passenger-side floorboard.
- Windshield fogging up instantly when you turn on the defroster.

Don't freeze on your morning commute! Contact us to get your heating system flushed and working again.
