"Was having an issue with my truck bed latch. Initial dealer estimate I was quoted was $850. I came to Car Nerds for a second opinion. They told me to come through and ten minutes later, the issue of a loose screw was identified and resolved. Finding an honest place such as this is rare. I will definitely be coming here for all of my future maintenance needs."

June is National Safety Month, and we want to share our favorite no-cost driving safety tip: The Three-Second Rule. ⏱️

When the car in front of you passes a fixed object (like a sign or a tree), you should be able to count to three before your front bumper reaches that same spot.

Why it matters to us: In stop-and-go summer traffic, tailgating is the #1 cause of fender-benders. Giving yourself space protects your brakes, reduces panic stops, and keeps your car out of our repair bays! Let’s keep our community roads safe this summer. Share this tip with a new driver in your family!

Thinking about trying one of those "pay-as-you-go" insurance plans to save a few bucks? As mechanics, we need to give you a quick heads-up about a hidden side effect!

A recent article by CarBuzz breaks down how these programs track your driving. One popular method involves plugging a small telematics dongle directly into your car's OBD-II port (under the dash). While it's highly accurate, these devices draw power directly from your vehicle’s 12-volt battery system. ⚠️ If your car sits idle for a couple of weeks, that little device can drain your battery.

Read the pros and cons before you plug anything in!

Our ways of driving are continuously changing, so why should your insurance stay the same?

🌡️📈 Did you know that for every 10-degree jump in outside temperature, the air pressure inside your tires can increase by 1 to 2 PSI?

As June heats up, the pavement can get brutal. If your tires were already slightly over-inflated, that extra expansion can put you at risk for a summer blowout. If you need a tire inspection, contact our team for assistance. 🛞⚠️

Is your car celebrating a milestone? 🎂 Once your odometer hits 75k miles, it’s officially entered its " prime." At this stage, your engine's seals can start to lose their flexibility, which can lead to tiny oil leaks on your driveway or to oil burning that wasn't there before. High-mileage oil is specifically formulated with seal conditioners that help swell and rejuvenate those old gaskets, keeping the oil inside the engine where it belongs.
