Repairing the People’s Car.
Volkswagen has been dubbed “the people’s car” because of its meaning in English. The Volkswagen group is the largest in the world. This immortal vehicle goes back to pre-World War II Germany. In those days only one German out of fifty owned a car. It was clear that there was a market for an inexpensive compact car.
Well, this innovation caught on world-wide. After the war, Volkswagen became the symbol of West Germany’s regeneration. In 1961 VW expanded its product line with four new models. Then in 1969 a larger type was introduced. Today the Volkswagen line continues to expand its presence around the globe.
If you are a proud owner of one of these reliable vehicles you want to keep it in tip-top condition. In Raleigh that location is 3711 Tarheel Drive. That is the home of your Volkswagen repair experts…Jim’s Auto Service. Just as we are all proud of our ‘Heels, take pride in your ride and have your VW maintained by Jim Liacos. Call (919) 824-4566.

Congratulations to the UNC Tar Heels
(Click the link above for more information)
"Congratulations to the University of North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team... now NCAA champions for the SIXTH time! Only
two other schools hold more national titles than the University of
North Carolina -- UCLA, who holds 11 titles and the University of
Kentucky, who holds 8 titles."
Brake Check Time.
Next to the engine itself and the tires, what could be more
important than your vehicle’s brakes?
Your safety depends on them. Now
that winter is pretty much over it is time to make sure that your brakes are
ready for increased highway driving in warmer weather. When was the last time that a professional
took a look at them?
Often, it is painfully obvious that brake repair is a
priority. When you hear that awful “squealing
noise” when you put your foot on the pedal do not hesitate another day. A less obvious, but important sign would be a
“mushy” feeling when you apply the brakes.
We may convince ourselves that this is not serious, but it probably
demands your attention.
Brakes do not always adhere to a schedule. Your owner’s manual may tell you the number
of miles that are “projected” between a brake replacement. Safety is at stake here. Trust Raleigh’s vehicle brake replacement
expert Jim Liacos. Stop by his shop
located at 3711 Tarheel Drive and have your brakes checked…or call for an
appointment at (919) 824-4566.

How About a Break on Your Car Repair?
We are coming out of winter and it is an exceptional time to
have your vehicle maintained. I can just
about guarantee you that if you have not had a mechanic look at your car in
2017 something needs to be done. Maybe
it is only an oil change, but getting on top of it now could save you countless
dollars and frustration later.
One of the things that causes us to put off the inevitable
is price. We think…I’ll just wait
another thousand miles until I really need vehicle maintenance. Meanwhile, people are driving around Raleigh
just waiting for something to go haywire under the hood. What if you could get a “deal” on your next
auto maintenance or repair bill?
You deserve to save money!

every possible vehicle on the road. Go

When to Flush.
No, we are not talking about that…it’s your radiator that is
the subject of this article. Your car’s
engine coolant will cause an engine to overheat. It’s the coolant’s job to circulate through
the engine and the radiator. When summer
comes that is what will keep your engine running at full capacity.
What are some of the signs that your vehicle needs a coolant
flush?
1. Seeing your
temperature gauge go up.
2. A puddle of
antifreeze underneath your car.
3. You hear a
grinding sound.
4. Rust is visible in
the coolant.
5. Steam emanating
through the hood.
That last one should get your attention! This is a good time of year to pay attention
to this potential problem. When the time
comes, make an appointment with Raleigh’s ultimate “shade tree mechanic”. Jim Liacos of Jim’s Auto Service is the
answer for all of your car maintenance needs.
Make an appointment or drive in to 3711 Tarheel Dr. by calling (919)
824-4566.
