On a clear day you can see forever. But when it’s raining you need all the help you can get! Often forgotten, your windshield wipers are essential to your safety when you and your family are in your car. Standard wipers only last about 6 months. Are your wipers squeaking, chattering, smearing or streaking? We can check out your windshield wipers and make sure your washer pump is working and full of fluid. This is the season for sudden rain showers, so don’t risk a crash because you couldn’t see well. Stop in or all 727-868-6998 today!

Checked your car battery lately? It’s an “old-timer” if it’s three years or older. On average, a battery will last 3 to 5 years, but driving habits and exposure to extreme heat can shorten the life of your car battery. There are some warning signs: slow engine crank, “check -engine” light, low battery fluid, and corrosion around the battery posts. Stop in and let us check your battery. A bad or weak battery can harm your car’s charging system or starter and cause expensive repairs. We stock Interstate Batteries, the #1 automotive replacement batteries in America with 15 million batteries sold every year. It’s 90+ degrees outside. The last thing you want to happen is to be stranded with a dead battery. Give us a call today at 727-868-6998.

Like any other part of a car, the A/C unit has evolved over the years in both technology and design. This can be tricky when restoring the A/C unit on a vintage car, but fortunately A/C experts know A/C systems cold, and can help it fit together.
