Zabor Auto, heavy duty up to 1 ton
A 3500 or an F350 is too big for a lot of shops. Not this one.

Zabor Automotive services heavy duty trucks up to 1 ton at both locations. Domestic and foreign. Same approach as everything else that comes through the bay: we tell you what the truck actually needs, what can wait, and what it will take. Then you decide.

Bring it in for honest transparent service and repairs.

A Toyota Prius, or any hybrid or EV, still needs a shop that knows the high-voltage side.

Zabor Automotive services hybrid and electric vehicles at both locations. Hybrid engine oil, inverter fluid, battery work, high voltage diagnosis, electric A/C, transaxle service, AWD hybrid systems, and water pumps.

If the dash is talking and you are not sure whether it is the gas engine or the hybrid system, that is the appointment.

Not everything that shows up on an inspection has to be done today.

Zabor Automotive is built around a clear explanation of what is needed versus what can wait. That is the line on the site, and it is the job. Excellent, trustworthy, and transparent. No pressure to buy work that can wait.

If something is making noise, a light is on, or you want a straight read before you decide, that is the appointment.

Most people assume winter is what kills a car battery. AAA says it is actually the heat.

High temperatures speed up fluid loss and oxidation inside the battery, which is why AAA calls heat the number one cause of battery failure and reduced battery life. Most batteries have a three to five year service life even with good care. AAA also sees roadside calls climb when temperatures sit above 90 for a few days in a row, and dead batteries are at the top of that list.

If yours is in that three to five year range, a test takes a few minutes. Worth pairing it with a charging system check while the car is here, because a failing alternator is one of the most common reasons a battery goes down early.

We will tell you what the test says. If it has life left in it, we will tell you that too.

Cars talk to you before they break. The trick is knowing what to listen for. Three sounds you should never ignore.

1. Rhythmic knocking that speeds up with RPM. Could be rod bearings or valve train. Both serious.
2. Squealing that changes with engine speed. Usually a belt or pulley on the way out.
3. Grinding when you brake. That is metal on metal and rotors are next.

Full list and what each one means, on the blog.

Most local shops give you 12 months or 12,000 miles on parts and labor, if that. Zabor covers you for two years or 24,000 miles on qualifying repairs at both locations. That means work we do today is still under warranty next summer. It is one of the reasons customers come back and refer friends.

Ask about it when you book.

Happy Fourth of July from Zabor Auto Rockdale. Wishing you and your family a safe and joyful Independence Day weekend. If you are hitting the road for the holiday, take your time, buckle up, and please have a designated driver lined up before the celebrating starts. Our Rockdale shop is closed today, Friday, July 3rd, and we will be back to regular hours on Monday. Grateful to serve this community.

July 4 weekend is a few weeks out. Three things to check before any long drive.

• Tire pressure when cold. Check the sticker inside your driver door jamb, not the number stamped on the tire. The sticker is your spec.
• Coolant level. Overflow tank should sit between MIN and MAX when the engine is cold.
• Wiper blades. Summer storms hit fast, and bad blades turn a downpour into a five mile slow lane.

If anything looks off, we are open the rest of this week and through July 3 at both shops. Bring it in before the highway gets busy.
