If your tires are wearing thin on just the inside or outside edges, your alignment is off! A wheel alignment restores straight-line tracking and keeps your tire investment protected. Get one at Ledoux's Auto Repair & Service - 13th Street in Salem.

Hear a high-pitched squeal when you tap the brakes? That’s not a malfunction. It’s a built-in safety feature! Tiny wear indicators make that noise to tell you your pads are down to 15% life. Catch it early, and have them replaced at Ledoux's Auto Repair & Service - 13th Street.

Can you believe August is already wrapping up? That means early morning school buses, busy crosswalks, and lower speed zones are officially back in action! 🚸 With stop-and-go school traffic starting up, your vehicle's brakes and tires need to be in top shape for sudden stops.

If your brake pedal feels squishy, or if you hear a faint squeal when slowing down, get those pads checked by our team.

Thinking about topping off your washer fluid with a splash from the garden hose? Think twice! 🚫🚰 It feels like a quick hack, but plain water drops the ball on two major things:

Zero Cleaning Power: Water can't dissolve sticky bug guts, tree sap, or road grime. Instead, it just smears a blurry streak across your glass.
The Freeze Factor: Come cold weather, water freezes solid inside the plastic reservoir, leading to cracks in the tank and damage to the tiny pump motor inside!

Keep a jug of real fluid in your trunk instead! If your car needs a top-off in addition to other maintenance, give Ledoux's Auto Repair & Service - 13th Street a call or visit our team in Salem, OR.

Most drivers remember engine oil, but what about your transmission fluid? Your transmission handles massive hydraulic pressure and heat to smooth out gear changes. Dirty, burnt fluid causes harsh shifting, delayed engagement, and unnecessary gear wear.

If your shifts are starting to feel clunky or sluggish, drop by the shop. A fluid flush can add years to your transmission’s lifespan!

Baggy jeans, vinyl records, and digital cameras came back...and now '90s cars are having their official moment!

This article points out that collectors and daily drivers alike are paying top dollar for clean vehicles from this era. Read on to learn why '90s car values are skyrocketing.

You might expect an older Ferrari to appreciate in value, but Honda? Toyota? Chevy? It's not just sports cars from the '90s that are suddenly red hot.
