Laurel Hill Automotive & Tire

11/03/2026

Hear or feel a distinct THUMP underneath your feet whenever you shift from Park into Drive or Reverse? Or maybe the engine vibrates heavily while sitting idle at red lights? Your engine and transmission don't rest directly on the metal frame. They sit on heavy-duty rubber and hydraulic mounts made to absorb engine torque and vibration. Over time, engine oil leaks or rubber aging causes these mounts to tear or leak their internal dampening fluid.

Do your vents smell like warm maple syrup when you turn on the heat? Don't reach for pancakes because you might have a leaking heater core! The heater core uses hot engine coolant to warm your cabin. A leak leaves a sweet smell, fogs up your windshield, and starves your engine of coolant. Let’s get it fixed before cold weather hits for real!

"My engine light came on while I was driving home from work. I immediately drove to Laurel Hill they took a look and made an appointment for me. Mark reassured me it was ok to drive until appointment.
I dropped my jeep off at Appointment time. There was some miscommunication & wrong information with the new Receptionist. Which left me feeling anxious & overwhelmed.
I stopped down the next morning & Spoke with Bella& Mark who Clarified what the problem was & Reassured me it would be resolved that day& if it wasn't they would help me with transportation.
I would highly recommend Laurel Hill for all vehicle services .
Mark, Bella, Jonathan are ALL so Professional, Knowledgeable, Respectful, Honest, Sympathetic , wanting the customer to be safe driving and Reasonable Price.
I will forever be Grateful for Laurel Hill tire& automotive and always take my jeep there.

Don't forget to set your clocks back an hour this upcoming weekend (if you observe DST)! For most of us, evening commutes are about to get a lot darker, a lot earlier. 🌙👀

With nightfall hitting during peak rush hour, driving demands top-notch visibility:

Headlights: Are your lenses cloudy, yellowed, or oxidized? Hazed headlights can cut light output by up to 80%! 💡
Wiper Blades: Dark roads + streaky wipers = zero visibility. 🌧️
Clean Glass: Clean the inside of your windshield to prevent blinding glare from oncoming headlights. 🧼

Fall back smoothly and stay safe on dark roads. Feel free to swing by for a quick inspection!

"I took my car in for a exhaust repair. The staff was awesome. They diagnosed the problem and did the repair. They were very professional. They fixed the problem in a timely manner, and were very reasonably priced. The fix is awesome and I was on my way within a couple hours. Very impressed with the office staff and the mechanic,they are a great business and I will bring all my vehicles there for repairs from now on "

Notice your engine idling rough or surging slightly while sitting at a red light now that the weather is cooler? Check your PCV valve! This tiny one-way valve vents crankcase combustion gases back into the engine intake. Over time, oily sludge glazes the internal spring shut, or the rubber vacuum hose dry-rots and cracks in autumn air, which creates a hidden vacuum leak that throws off your air-fuel mixture.

Swapping a clogged PCV valve takes minutes and protects your engine seals from blowing out under pressure! Get it done at our shop soon.

Does your engine let out a loud SCREECH for 10 seconds when you start it on a chilly morning? That's your serpentine belt slipping on a weak tensioner pulley! Cold air makes aging rubber stiff, causing it to lose grip on your alternator and power steering pulleys. Catching a worn belt early keeps you from getting stranded with a snapped belt down the road!
