Do you drive a FIAT?

If you're a fan of European cars, you are definitely familiar with Fiats. The first Fiat (Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino) plant opened in Italy in 1900 with 35 staff members making 24 cars. By 1903, Fiat had some success, making some profit and producing 135 cars. Fiat also produced its first truck that year. In 1906, production grew to 1,149 cars. The company then went public at the Milan Stock Exchange. In 1908, the first Fiat was exported to the United States, and Fiat produced its first aircraft engine. Fiat taxis also became popular around Europe, and by 1910, Fiat was the largest automotive company in Italy. That same year, a Fiat plant was built in Poughkeepsie, New York, by the newly founded American Fiat Automobile Company. Owning a Fiat was a sign of distinction; the price of a Fiat in the United States was $6,400 in 1918, compared to the $525 it would take to own a Ford Model T. After World War I, Fiat produced its first tractor, the 702. Fiat had an 80% market share in Italy by the 1920s.

In 1922, Fiat began building the Lingotto car factory (which was the largest car factory in Europe at the time), which was completed in 1923. The factory was the first in Italy to use assembly lines. By 1925, Fiat owned 85% of the car market share in Italy. Giovanni Agnelli led the company until his death in 1945.

Today, Fiat continues producing and selling cars around the world, with its main focus being the European market, especially Italy. In January 2009, Fiat acquired a 20% stake in Chrysler LLC, which saw the return of the Fiat brand to the United States after a 25-year absence. Today's lineup of Fiat vehicles includes:

Fiat 500
Fiat Panda
Fiat Ducato

Do you drive a Mercedes-Benz?

The history of Mercedes-Benz starts in Germany with Karl Benz's creation of the first gasoline-powered automobile, the Benz Patent Motorwagen, which was patented in January 1886. The automobile was marketed in 1901 by Daimler Motors Corporation, and in 1902, Emil Jellinek, an automobile entrepreneur who worked for DMC, created the trademark for the vehicle, naming the 1901 Mercedes 35 after his daughter, Mercedes. Jellinek began selling Mercedes cars not only to the elite in France (like the Rothschild family), but also to billionaires around the globe, including Rockefeller, Astor, Morgan, and Taylor. In 1899, Jellinek drove at a race in Nice under the pseudonym Monsieur Mercédès; this race is considered the birth of the Mercedes brand.

No matter which Mercedes-Benz model you drive, we at Mark's Auto Service can take care of your car. We perform services in Mercedes-Benz brake repair, transmission repair, and Auto Repair. Some of Mercedes-Benz's models today include:

The most common fluid leak symptoms are easy to recognize:

Fluid spot on the driveway
If you see fluid on the ground from your car, it is time to have it inspected. Delaying repairs can greatly complicate the repair process. As well, the only “acceptable” fluid loss from a vehicle is condensation from the a/c system on humid days.

A sweet or burning odor
If you smell a sweet or burning odor you almost certainly have a fluid leak. A sweet smell is indicative of an engine coolant leak. A burning smell is usually caused by a fluid leak dripping on the exhaust system.

Smoke from under the hood
Smoke from under the hood indicates an acute leak that requires immediate attention. In some cases, fires have started do to excessive oil leaks on the exhaust system.

You keep adding fluid
Many motorists make the mistake of not repairing the root cause of the fluid loss. All of your vehicle’s systems that use fluids are sealed and designed not to lose fluid. If you are adding fluid, we recommend having one of our service experts inspect your vehicle.

A glowing or flashing CHECK ENGINE or SERVICE ENGINE SOON light alerts you to problems in your vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system that should be checked out as soon as possible. Many times you won’t notice a difference in vehicle performance.

Check the Gas Cap
First, check the gas cap to make sure it wasn’t left loose after refueling.

Sometimes, this can trigger the light. If the gas cap was left loose, the light should go out after a few short trips. If the gas cap wasn’t the problem and the light remains on steady, make an appointment to have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Flashing?
Important: A light that flashes requires more prompt attention, indicating a more serious problem that must be checked out immediately to prevent damage to the catalytic converter.

When you experience a flashing light, minimize driving at high speeds or under heavy loads.
