Should I Inspect My Rental Car Before Driving?

Should I Inspect my Rental Car Before Driving? Hey Venice, Jenny here with a topic that might have you scratching your head or wondering, well should I inspect my rental before driving it off the lot?

Auto Repair Shop Ending Hunger in Southwest Florida Part II

Auto Repair Shop Ending Hunger in Southwest Florida Part II

Auto Repair Shop Ending Hunger in Southwest Florida Part II Back in November we had run a campaign to collect canned goods, non perishables, hygiene products and even pet products for the South County Food Pantry. We decided to keep the food drive running through the new year and even had help from another auto repair shop on the East coast of Florida, A&H Automotive. Through these gracious efforts we hope to get the food Pantries and food banks back in good standing since hurricane Ian swept through.  We received boxes of goods from A&H automotive and items from our local clientele that all contributed to our second haul for the South County Food Pantry. A&H understood what all entails when you are hit with a category 5 hurricane, so they jumped right in to help us with our initiative. We couldn't be more thankful for the support we have received from them and all contributing businesses over on the east coast to make this possible.  ... read more

Why Does My Car Smell Like Burning Oil?

Why Does My Car Smell Like Burning Oil?

Why Does My Car Smell Like Burning Oil?    Oil, a major component to your vehicle, and often times can be leaking from those compartments that holds it. A guest of ours recently came into our shop with the complaint of a "hot smell". Our technician Tony informed me that the term "hot smell" usually always refers to the smell that stems from an oil leak, where the oil is dripping onto another component in the vehicle and burning essentially. In this case, the oil leak was coming from a bad Valve Cover Gasket. Oil leaking from or around the engine can be potentially dangerous. You could significantly damage your engine if you let an oil leak go. You want to avoid fire hazards, but also, future expensive repairs.  He found this leak upon doing a thorough visual inspection, oil residue found coming out of the Valve Cover Gasket.    What Tony found was the oil that was l ... read more
