WE ARE NOT MOVING 😊

Actually, it’s just the opposite. We’ve been working hard on improvements to the shop, remodeling, painting, cleaning things up, improving our workflow, and continuing to build Merritt Automotive for the future.
If you’ve driven by lately and noticed things looking a little different, that’s why!
We are still right here at 1644 W. Midland Rd. in Auburn, still open, still working, and still committed to taking care of our customers and our community.
We appreciate everyone who has supported our family and our business over the years. We’re excited about what’s ahead and we’re not going anywhere!

Stop by and let us know what you think!

Thank you for supporting Merritt Automotive! 🔧❤️

🚨 DASH LIGHT CHALLENGE ANSWER! 🚨
The correct answer was...
✅ A — LOW TIRE PRESSURE

That little horseshoe-shaped light with the exclamation point is your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning light.
⚠️ What should you do if it comes on?
✔️ Check all four tire pressures as soon as possible. ✔️ Look for nails, screws, or obvious damage. ✔️ Inflate tires to the pressure listed on the driver's door sticker (not the tire sidewall). ✔️ If the light stays on, have the TPMS system inspected.
Ignoring this light can: ❌ Reduce fuel mileage ❌ Cause uneven tire wear ❌ Affect handling and braking ❌ Lead to a blowout if a tire is severely underinflated

🎉 Congratulations to everyone who guessed correctly!
