Vehicles Built to Last.

We thought you might like to see some of the vehicles that hold up the longest and best on the highways and bi-ways of America.  In the old days, people bought new cars routinely every couple of years rather than maintain them.  Today, quality workmanship and just the economy in general may dictate that you keep your car on the road longer.

The average age of a vehicle on US roads is more than 11 years!  That may surprise you.  Modern vehicles are higher in quality, designed and engineered to last longer than ever.  A Consumer Reports survey of 740,000 people, has identified ten vehicles that are the most likely to make it to 200,000 miles.  You might want to check that out.

If you are the average driver around Raleigh, then your vehicle is about a decade old.  You need to seek reliable maintenance to keep it humming along.  The answer is always Jim’s Auto Service at 3711 Tarheel Drive.  Keep your car, truck, SUV, or mini-van on the road well into its second decade and keep Jim’s number handy (919) 824-4566.

Bring ‘em all in.

We will handle them all…domestic, foreign, hybrid, SUV, trucks, etc.  My staff and I are what are known as “shade tree mechanics”.  What that means is we did not go to school to learn how to fix a specific model of vehicle.  We learned under the “mighty oak”.  From Edsels to today’s hybrids we fix them all.

What you need to know as 2018 dawns is that the changing weather in the Raleigh area means that your vehicle needs to stay in tip-top condition.  As we catch basketball fever around here we want to be able to get to Tarheel games safe and sound.  Don’t worry, we will be here to make sure that you do!

We are Jim’s Auto Service.  I am Jim Liacos and for the last 40+ years I have learned to fix every make and model of vehicle with four wheels (and some with two when I was a kid).  When you need vehicle repair and maintenance in the Raleigh area please make an appointment at our 3711 Tarheel Drive location by calling (919) 824-4566.

Another New Model Year.

When you are in the auto repair business you look at the new year as a new model year.  There are many new cars on the roads of Raleigh that were not there at this time last year.  I have seen them come and go…from Edsel to Prius.  Some makes and models survive and thrive and some go the way of the dinosaur!

Whatever the case may be, I have made it my life’s work to maintain and repair them all.  Some people may call me the “ultimate shade tree mechanic”.  My name is Jim Liacos.  I did not go to school specifically to repair a certain type of vehicle.  I graduated from the mechanical school of hard knocks and hope to be your auto mechanic in 2018.

As we gather together with family and friends this time of year we at Jim’s Auto Service wish you a safe and happy Holiday season and a prosperous New Year.  If you have just bought a new car or are trying to get by with your current ride for another year we will be here for you.  Merry Christmas from Jim’s Auto Service of Raleigh.

You are NOT too Busy to Keep your Car on the Road.

During the busy holiday season you may not be thinking about keeping your vehicle properly serviced.  The truth is, you need your car more than ever this time of year.  It had better start and keep running all the way to grandma’s house!  Not only is a break-down inconvenient, but in ever-changing weather it could be downright dangerous.

When was the last time you had your battery checked?  When was the last time you had your vehicle’s oil changed?  When was the last time your tires were checked?  I know…nag, nag, nag, but it is for your own good and the safety of your family.  Before it gets away from you why not have a check-up on your car?

The ultimate shade-tree mechanic in the Raleigh area is Jim Liacos.  Jim does it all on just about every make and model out there.  Jim is the owner of Jim’s Auto Service.  He and his team are Raleigh North Carolina’s complete vehicle care and maintenance specialists.  Call for an appointment today at his 3711 Tarheel Drive location (919) 824-4566.
