What is a Tune-up?

Your vehicle can get great benefit from a tune-up.  Put it this way…it is one of the very best ways to maintain the original performance of your ride.  Working on a car that is badly out of tune can give a noticeable boost to both engine performance and fuel economy.  That should be all that you need to know!

Here is another way to put it…do the tune-up now and potentially prevent far more expensive repairs later.  The common parts that are replaced when your vehicle is tuned-up are things such as spark plugs, wire plugs, an air filter, as well as a fuel filter.  It is not necessary to know how each of these things work in synergy, just that they do!

Jim Liacos and the tune-up professionals at Jim’s Auto Service know how to tune-up every make and model of vehicle on the roads of the Raleigh area.  It comes from decades of experience as well as staying on top of new technology.  At Jim’s Auto Service on 3711 Tarheel Drive you get both.  Call for an appointment today at (919) 824-4566.

Sticker Shock Avoided.

There is little worse than sticker shock.  Maybe it is the price of a new car, or something as innocuous as the price of eggs at your local grocery store.  In this day and age, with instant communication sticker shock should be a thing of the past.  Every once in a while, it rears its ugly head!

You should not experience this feeling when you have your vehicle serviced.  Yet, it happens all the time in our country.  It is real, and it will continue as long as you allow it to.  Why not get a fair and honest estimate of all your car’s repair needs before you bring it into the shop and find out what it all will cost after it’s too late?

At Jim’s Auto Service, Jim Liacos wants you to know the cost of the repairs needed BEFORE you make a trip to 3711 Tarheel Drive.  That is why they put an entire page on their website at www.jimsautoservices.com so you can fill out a form under the heading estimates.  Then, give them a call for an appointment at (919) 824-4566.

How many times have we entered into something without knowing the true final cost?  It happens to all of us at one time or another in a variety of ways.  There is little in this life more jolting than “sticker shock” when you see the final bill!  Near the top of that list may be the function of vehicle repair.

On occasion we wait to long to fix a problem because we are worried about the final cost.  When we do that, it is possible that a minor issue will become a major one!  So, how do we avoid that when we hear our car making noises, or the check engine light is on, or we notice something else that we can’t explain or repair on our own?

The answer in the Raleigh area is Jim’s Auto Service.  It is right there on their website jimsautoservices.com.  On the estimates tab you can fill out and send in your vehicle’s issues and send it to Jim who will give you as complete an assessment as possible.  Then, if you wish, just bring it in to 3711 Tarheel Drive or call ahead at (919) 824-4566.

Maintaining Your Engine.

Maintaining a car’s engine is like proper health care and diet for your body.  If your vehicle’s engine is neglected it will give up on you.  No one wants to be stranded on the roads around Raleigh in the winter.  Why not use common sense and treat your car’s motor like your own internal organs?

People don’t know what to pay for a simple tune-up anymore.  Spurious auto mechanics around the country are charging as much as $1000 for a simple tune-up!  Step 1: Check your owner’s manual.  What are the scheduled tune-ups for your particular vehicle?  Just as you should not ignore them they don’t need to be done TOO frequently either.

Step 2 is obvious.  You pick up the phone and call Raleigh’s ultimate shade tree mechanic, Jim Liacos.  If you don’t know him already then go to www.jimsautoservices.com and fill out an estimate right on his website.  Jim has spent four decades tuning up vehicles in the Raleigh area.  Give him a call today at (919) 824-4566.

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.
