Maintenance Tip Monday:

Keep Your Engine Cool This Summer!

Summer heat doesn't just make you uncomfortable, it puts extra stress on your vehicle's cooling system, too.

A healthy cooling system helps prevent overheating, protects your engine, and keeps you on the road when temperatures climb.

Here are a few simple ways to help avoid overheating:

- Check your coolant levels regularly
- Keep an eye on your temperature gauge
- Inspect hoses and belts for signs of wear
- Address leaks before they become major repairs

A little preventative maintenance today can help you avoid a breakdown tomorrow.

If you're planning summer road trips or simply commuting in the heat, stop by PGW Midas and let our team make sure your vehicle is ready for the season ahead!

Stay Cool. Drive Confidently.

We're incredibly thankful for the recognition from the Richland County Sheriff's Department!
Our Father's Day BBQ was all about celebrating fathers, bringing neighbors together, and giving back to the community that supports us year-round. We appreciate Sheriff Lott and the RCSD team for joining us and helping make the event a success. Here's to strong communities, great partnerships, and serving others; both on and off the road.

Today, we celebrate the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, father figures, and mentors who show up every day with love, guidance, hard work, and sacrifice.

Whether it's teaching life lessons, lending a helping hand, cheering from the sidelines, or simply being there when it matters most, fathers play an incredible role in shaping our families and communities.

At PGW, we're grateful for all the dads on our team and the countless fathers we have the privilege of serving every day. Thank you for your dedication, your strength, and the example you set for future generations.

From all of us at Palmetto Garage Works, we wish you a Happy Father's Day filled with family, laughter, and well-deserved appreciation.

Funny Friday:
We've discovered the fastest and cheapest way to fix a check engine light...
Just put a piece of tape over it.
Problem solved, right?
Not exactly. ๐Ÿ˜…
Your check engine light is your vehicle's way of telling you something needs attention. Ignoring it might work for a day, a week, or even a month, but eventually your car will want to have that conversation.
If your dashboard is looking more like a Christmas tree than a dashboard, stop by and let our team take a look.

Maintenance Tip Monday:

Ever wonder why your vehicle's A/C isn't blowing as cold as it used to?

Your A/C refrigerant is what allows the system to remove heat and keep your cabin cool. When refrigerant levels get low, your A/C has to work harder, cool less efficiently, and can even put additional strain on expensive components like the compressor.

Signs your refrigerant may be low:
๐Ÿ”น Air isn't as cold as it used to be
๐Ÿ”น A/C takes longer to cool the vehicle
๐Ÿ”น Weak airflow from the vents
๐Ÿ”น Strange hissing or bubbling noises
๐Ÿ”น A/C cycles on and off frequently

The good news? Catching low refrigerant levels early can help prevent bigger repairs down the road and keep you comfortable all summer long.

Don't wait until the next heat wave hits! Stop by today and let our team check your A/C system to make sure you're ready for summer driving.

Call your local PGW Midas location to schedule your A/C inspection today!

We've all been there...

That little squeak turns into a squeal...
The squeal turns into a grind...
And suddenly your radio volume is doing all the heavy lifting.

While turning up the music might make the noise disappear, it doesn't make the problem go away!

If your brakes are starting to sound a little "expensive," don't wait until they become a much bigger repair. Stop by and let our team take a look with a complimentary brake inspection.

Be honest... what's the loudest you've ever turned up the radio to ignore a car problem?

๐ŸŒŸ Spotlight Wednesday: Shari Addington ๐ŸŒŸ

This week, we're honored to recognize someone whose dedication, hard work, and commitment have helped shape our company for nearly three decadesโ€”Shari Addington!

Shari has been on our team for over 29 years. In that time, she has been an essential part of the success of our organization. As our Purchasing & Administrative Coordinator, Shari wears many hats and plays a critical role in supporting all 39 of our locations.

From managing business licenses and coordinating loaner vehicle registrations to ensuring each location has the supplies they need to serve our customers, Shari's work touches every corner of our company. She also helps organize and support many of our community outreach efforts, including PGW Blood Drives, our involvement with the Family Promise Foundation, and countless other special projects.

Much of what Shari does happens behind the scenes, but her impact is felt every single day. Her attention to detail, willingness to help, and unwavering dedication make her an invaluable member of the PGW family.

Shari, thank you for your years of service, your hard work, and the care you put into everything you do. We truly could not do it without you, and we are incredibly grateful to have you on our team.

Please join us in thanking Shari for nearly 30 years of outstanding service and commitment!

Maintenance Tip Monday:

Is your A/C not blowing as cold or as strong as it used to?

The culprit might be something as simple as a dirty cabin air filter!

Your cabin air filter helps:
โœ… Improve A/C airflow
โœ… Keep dust, pollen, and debris out of your vehicle
โœ… Reduce musty odors
โœ… Help you breathe cleaner air inside your car

Over time, cabin filters become clogged and force your A/C system to work harder, especially during these hot summer months.

Pro Tip: Most manufacturers recommend checking your cabin air filter every 12,000โ€“15,000 miles (or at least once a year).

Not sure if yours needs replacing? Stop by a PGW Midas today and we'll be happy to inspect it for you!

Better airflow.
Cleaner air.
More comfortable driving.
