Reality Check Automotive

Reality Check Automotive At Covey Automotive Consulting it is our goal to give the best advice for all your automotive needs; One day the belt snapped on the 1986 Crown Victoria Wagon.

Growing up I was raised by a single mom, so a vehicle breakdown could be devastating for many reasons. For one, basic day-to-day living can be tough without a car; and secondly, how can you trust the person who is implementing the repair? Unfortunately, a few bad apples took advantage of the desperation. With only enough money for the belt, I biked to Sears and bought the part. When I came home,

my mom gave me a flat head screwdriver and an adjustable wrench. After an hour or so, I had the belt installed, the car was running, and I had become the superhero of the day. That didn't make me an instant mechanic - I still wanted to be a Rock Star. This experience has always served as a reminder that on the other side of the service desk is a person. Someone who is having a bad day in a vulnerable position who just needs thing to "go right" for once. Someone who has spent more than they should on a lemon. Someone who just needs good advice. My goal is a confident, well-informed driver - someone car savvy enough to look a tech in the eye and say "oh really?"

The year is slowly coming to a close; are you considering a new vehicle purchase? Dealerships are trying to clear out inventory, 2017 models and 2018. One valuable tip I got from a long time customer is December 31st is the wheel and deal day. Trying to meet and of month and end of year quota sales persons are scrambling that day. An original MSRP of 38,000 Chrysler Town and Country van fully loaded, was purchased for 15,500. That's an incredible deal! With some good research, a financial plan you could drive away a great vehicle at an affordable price. Happy driving!

As the new school year begins many young drivers are leaving home for the first time. Make sure they are prepared for any vehicle need. I offer lessons on checking fluids, tires, tire changes, and components. Afraid they may get oversold if dropping a vehicle with an unfamiliar shop? I can teach them the right questions to ask a service advisor or quick l**e shop as to not get oversold and undervalued as a customer.

Have a young driver hitting the road soon? Knowing road signs and signals is part of responsible driving.
