Sure, they'd be too expensive to build, probably unsafe, and break almost instantly, but look how cool these cabins are.

Hot pavement puts tires through a serious workout, so small maintenance mistakes deserve more attention than they might get on a mild spring morning.

Hot August pavement puts tires through a serious workout, so small maintenance mistakes deserve more attention than they might get on a mild spring morning. Underinflation, worn tread, old rubber, and neglected damage can all create problems when tires spend hour after hour rolling across hot roads....

Car maintenance can get pretty arcane, but lots of simple pitfalls can be avoided by consulting the owner's manual, as most mechanics know.

Good morning!🌞

This is a little awkward post, but I need to clear up something. We received an erroronerous 2 star Google review from someone who is not a customer, but thinks a certain individual works for us.
THIS IS NOT TRUE-this individual does not and never has worked at Advant Automotive. This is very disheartening, since we put our heart and soul into an honest run business.

Thank you and enjoy this beautiful day!

Some cars are just old, but others are truly obsolete. Here are the key differences between timeless classics and dead automotive technology.

Rochester's air quality today is 260, which is very unhealthy. Protect yourself while in your car:

Keep your windows up!

Turn recirculation mode on. This closes the outside intake vents, blocking up to 90% of outdoor fine particulate matter.

Maintain a safe distance from the vehicles in front of you to avoid breathing in their exhaust in.

Make sure you have a clean cabin air filter ($30.00 approximately) during hazy or smoky conditions.

Be safe!
