An Auto Mechanic with a Degree in Biochemistry…Makes Sense.

What?  Yes, that is what Jim Liacos the owner of Jim’s Auto Service of Raleigh brings to the table among many other things!  After returning from the Army, Jim went to Iowa State to earn that prestigious degree.  From there, he became a scientist at the National Disease Center concentrating on diseases that affect herd animals.

This sounds like a work of fiction, doesn’t it?  Where did this renaissance man get his knowledge for fixing cars and trucks?  Well, when Jim was growing up dad ran a taxi cab business featuring a fleet of Checker Cabs.  Someone had to repair them when they broke down.  That task fell to our aforementioned “man for all seasons.”

Jim Liacos is an ASE Certified Master Mechanic and employs like-minded people at this shop located at 3711 Tarheel Dr. in Raleigh NC.  When you need expert auto repair from people who have worked on every imaginable type of vehicle on the road, drive in to Jim’s Auto Service or call for an appointment at (919) 824-4566.

I Can Barely See out of my Windshield.

How many times have your said that while driving around the roadways of the Raleigh area?   Wiper blades should be replaced every six months to a year or as soon as you notice a difference in driving visibility.  Have you been hearing the squeaking, chattering, skipping, smearing or streaking reducing driving visibility?

When you inspect your wiper blades look for these thing –

1.  Broken frames detached from the connection points

2.  Metal corrosion

3.  Cracks, tears, or missing pieces

4.  Check the squeegee for rounded edges

5.  Tug on it to make sure it is securely installed.

Here is the thing about wiper blade maintenance and replacement…you can do it yourself, or have your trusted mechanic do that for you as a part of routine maintenance such as an oil change, or wheel alignment.  In Raleigh, that auto mechanic should be Jim’s Auto Service.  They take care of all the vehicles around the Capital.  Call for an appointment at (919) 824-4566.
