The Summer Sun vs. Your Car.

The sun is a formidable opponent when it comes to your car.  The heart of your car is your battery.  When the sun beats down, that battery takes quite a toll.  If you think about it, what would be more likely to happen, cold weather affecting the performance of your battery or hot weather?

The truth is, it is the searing heat.  Just look at the label.  If you purchased your battery anywhere from five to seven years ago then its shelf life is just about over.  That is especially true if you live in a hot climate like Raleigh.  Over-charging as well as excessive heat also contributes to its limited life as its liquid evaporates over time.

Fear not, there is someone who has your back!  In the Raleigh, North Carolina area Jim Liacos is your ultimate shade tree mechanic.  For decades, he has been Raleigh’s battery replacement specialist.  Before you find yourself stranded on the side of the road make an appointment at his shop located at 3711 Tarheel Drive by calling (919) 824-4566.

Summer Starts Next Week.

There is something to contemplate.  Even though we have had a feel for summer heat already the official beginning is right around the corner.  Do you think you can make it through the summer of 2017 without air conditioning in your car?  If so, please don’t bother including me in your car pool this summer!

Your car’s air conditioning system is the life-blood that will make it tolerable to get from point A to point B in the Raleigh area over the next few months.  One tip that we can give you aside from having your A/C checked and ready for the heat and humidity would be to protect your car from direct sunlight as much as possible by parking in shaded areas.

The best tip of all, however is to have your vehicle’s air conditioning system checked and maintained by a real professional.  In Raleigh, that man is the ultimate shade tree mechanic.  His name is Jim Liacos.  He repairs and replaces air conditioning units in cars as well as anyone around.  Drive in to his 3711 Tarheel Drive location or call (919) 824-4566.

Time To Get to Know Your Auto Mechanic.

I think this is a really good idea.  Simply put, your mechanic is your car’s doctor.  You want to get to know your family physician don’t you?  In the same way, you want to know that the place you take your vehicle to be maintained and repaired is run by someone that you trust with your car’s life.

Consider this your formal introduction to your vehicle’s future mechanic.  We call him Raleigh’s ultimate “shade tree” mechanic because of his years working on every conceivable thing on four wheels.  He grew up just north of Boston (you might still be able to pick up the accent!).  He served in the Army in the late 60’s. 

Rather than continue to describe this renaissance man we invite you to visit www.jimsautoservices.com.  After you read the biography of Jim Liacos I believe that you will want to trust him with your vehicle’s well-being.  Let Jim work on your car EVERY time.  Make an appointment at his 3711 Tarheel Drive location by calling (919) 824-4566.
