Is your car celebrating a milestone? 🎂 Once your odometer hits 75k miles, it’s officially entered its " prime." At this stage, your engine's seals can start to lose their flexibility, which can lead to tiny oil leaks on your driveway or to oil burning that wasn't there before. High-mileage oil is specifically formulated with seal conditioners that help swell and rejuvenate those old gaskets, keeping the oil inside the engine where it belongs.

Need an oil change with a high-mileage oil option? Turn to our team to get the ultimate oil change service.

Nothing means more to us than hearing stories like this.

A customer came in with a 2006 Toyota Sienna DIY camper van at 285,000 miles—knowing it was time for a major engine and transmission upgrade before hitting the road again.

Our team sourced a lower-mileage engine and transmission set and completed a full transplant with the care, precision, and attention to detail we’re known for.

The result?

A camper van that runs like new—and a customer ready for cross-country travel with total peace of mind.

We’re grateful for the trust, and even more grateful to know they’re now hitting the road with confidence. Call us and book your next appointment: 615-834-6464

🛑 STOP! Before you check your coolant level, remember the #1 Rule of Radiators: NEVER open the cap while the engine is hot. Opening that cap on a hot engine is like opening a shaken-up soda bottle, but with 220-degree liquid.

The best way to go about it is to check the "overflow" plastic reservoir (the see-through tank) while the engine is cool. If it’s below the "Full" line, give us a call. We’ll top you off and check for the "why" behind the low level!

We often get asked: " Can I just buy one of those recharge cans from the parts store?" 🤔

The truth is, your A/C is a sealed system. If it needs more refrigerant, it means there is a leak somewhere. Adding a "quick fix" can often introduce air or moisture into the system, which can eventually ruin your parts. Our mechanics can recover the old refrigerant, vacuum-test the system for leaks, and refill it to the exact amount required by the manufacturer. Do it right the first time and stay cool all summer long! 🧊
