I'm very sad to let you know Grandpa Perry passed away yesterday at 93 years old. He has been apart of the community since the 1950s, served his country, had a racing team, was loved by all his family, friends and of course bowled up until last summer. There will never be another like him and he will be missed by many

🚗 The Truth About "Lifetime Fill" Transmission Fluid 🚗
Many car manufacturers label their transmission fluid as “lifetime fill,” suggesting it never needs to be changed. Sounds convenient, right? Not so fast. “Lifetime” really just means “until the warranty runs out”—NOT forever.
🔧 Why This is a Problem:
Over time, transmission fluid breaks down due to heat, friction, and contamination. If left unchanged, it loses its protective properties, leading to wear and potential failure of expensive components. A neglected transmission can mean rough shifting, slipping gears, or even complete failure—an issue that could cost thousands in repairs.
✅ The Smart Solution:
Changing transmission fluid every 30,000–50,000 miles keeps your transmission in peak condition, preventing costly breakdowns. Fresh fluid maintains smooth shifting, prolongs the life of your vehicle, and saves money in the long run.
💰 Short-Term Convenience vs. Long-Term Savings:
Skipping fluid changes might seem hassle-free, but it’s a ticking time bomb. Regular maintenance ensures a healthier, longer-lasting transmission—keeping your ride running strong for years!

🚗 Beware of "Too Good to Be True" Oil Change Deals! 🚗

We all love a good deal, but those super cheap oil change ads might be hiding more than just savings. Here’s what you need to watch out for:

🔧 Low-Quality Oil & Filters – Some shops cut costs by using subpar oil or filters that don’t properly protect your engine. This can lead to expensive repairs down the road!

💰 Upselling & Hidden Fees – That super oil change special? It might not cover synthetic oil, a full oil capacity, or extra services you actually need. Many shops use low prices to get you in the door, then push unnecessary add-ons.

⏳ Rushed or Incomplete Service – Cheap oil changes often mean high-volume work, where mechanics may skip important steps like checking other vital fluids, tire pressure, or even properly tightening your drain plug.

🚨 Potential for Damage – Some budget shops employ inexperienced workers or rush jobs, leading to stripped oil pans, incorrect oil types, or even forgotten drain plugs—putting your engine at serious risk.

✅ What to Do Instead?

Choose a trusted mechanic with good reviews.

Look for quality over cost—a few extra dollars for proper care can save thousands in engine repairs.

Ask about the oil brand, filter quality, and included services before you agree.

Your car deserves the best—don’t let a cheap oil change turn into a costly mistake! 🚗💨
