Getting an Estimate on Auto Repair.

I think most of us have gone through this.  We start to hear noises coming from our car and we take a deep breath.  Or maybe one of the trouble lights comes on.  Oh boy, how much is THIS going to cost?  Our minds begin to conjure up the worst case scenarios.  We can’t afford a thousand dollar auto repair bill right now.

The important issue is NOT to wait too long.  You may be a shade-tree mechanic who thinks he knows what is wrong under the hood.  If you happen to be wrong, then you will REALLY pay in the long run.  You need to find someone who services all types of vehicles in the Raleigh area and has been doing it for decades.

Jim Liacos of Jim’s Auto Services has a spotless reputation for repairing cars and trucks in the area for over FORTY years.  His reputation for accuracy and fairness in Raleigh NC car repair is second to none.  Find out about that “new sound” emanating from your vehicle.  Get a free estimate from Jim by calling (919) 824-4566 and making an appointment at 3711 Tarheel Drive in Raleigh.

Is Your Car Telling You It Needs Brake Service?

We tend to overlook our brakes until we hear screeching noises.  There are many other signs of impending brake failure before it ever gets to that point.  Does your brake pedal feel more soft and spongy?  Conversely, if the brake pedal is hard to push this may be indicative of a problem in the power assist mechanism.

Worn seals or split hoses may seriously reduce your braking poser.  If your car pulls to one side or another you may be headed for eventual disaster even if there is no noise at this particular time.  How long does it take to come to a complete stop?  This one can sneak up on you because you are not thinking that it is taking longer to stop with the same amount of pressure on the brake.

Car Maintenance in Raleigh When You Need It.

People who are wise in many different areas can often become flummoxed when talking to a car mechanic.  You need to find someone who assesses the services that your vehicle needs at the proper intervals.  No one wants to overspend on auto repair.  You need to know when it comes time for any routine maintenance that your car requires.

Take brake fluid flushes for example.  Your auto repair shop should visually inspect your brake fluid once or twice a year to determine if it needs flushing.  Power steering fluid should last the life of the vehicle and normally does not require frequent flushing.  There are many aspects of your routine auto maintenance that you want to trust to a pro.

There is an easy answer when you are looking for auto service in the Raleigh area.  Trust an auto mechanic with over 30 years of experience.  That is Jim’s Auto Service.  Jim will tell you when your vehicle needs a certain type of maintenance and EXACTLY what it entails.  Call him today to make an appointment at his shop located at 3711 Tarheel Drive (919) 824-4566.

When Was the Last Time You Checked Your Tires?

Do you have regular oil changes?  Routine maintenance is something you always remember when it comes to your precious vehicle.  Even such things as air filters changed regularly.  You are usually on top of that aren’t you?  Be honest, when was the last time that you leaned down and inspected each of your tires for wear and tear or punctures?

Worn and/or unbalanced tires can cause a multitude of problems and pose an imminent danger to you and your family.  When tires begin to vibrate it results in unsafe driving conditions.  It is entirely possible that you won’t notice the problem until it is too late.  If your car breaks down you may be stranded on the side of the road.  If one or more tires fail you may be upside down on the side of the road!

Jim’s Auto Service in Raleigh will consistently balance and rotate your vehicle’s tires to improve wear and tear.  A smoother ride means a safer ride and less expense because you won’t be replacing tires as often or paying an auto body shop to repair the damage when you crashed into a guard rail after a blow-out!  Call Jim Liacos today to have your tires examined at (919) 824-4566…or wobble into his shop at 3711 Tarheel Drive.
