"I literally do not trust any other mechanic. These guys are honestly like the car dad you never had. They are quick, kind, and will even advocate for you- if you make the mistake like me and purchase a warranty with your vehicle. I know what to expect when getting my car serviced at Mike’s and my expectations are high- they meet them every time. I wish I had a way to vouch for them even more, they are who I recommend to anyone who asks."

Not all heroes wear capes... some wear grease-stained uniforms! 🔧 It’s National Automotive Service Professionals Week, and we just want to say a massive THANK YOU to our crew. They keep the wheels turning, the engines purring, and our customers safe on the road. ❤️

Thinking about trying one of those "pay-as-you-go" insurance plans to save a few bucks? As mechanics, we need to give you a quick heads-up about a hidden side effect!

A recent article by CarBuzz breaks down how these programs track your driving. One popular method involves plugging a small telematics dongle directly into your car's OBD-II port (under the dash). While it's highly accurate, these devices draw power directly from your vehicle’s 12-volt battery system. ⚠️ If your car sits idle for a couple of weeks, that little device can drain your battery.

Read the pros and cons before you plug anything in!

Our ways of driving are continuously changing, so why should your insurance stay the same?

🌡️📈 Did you know that for every 10-degree jump in outside temperature, the air pressure inside your tires can increase by 1 to 2 PSI?

As June heats up, the pavement can get brutal. If your tires were already slightly over-inflated, that extra expansion can put you at risk for a summer blowout. If you need a tire inspection, contact our team for assistance. 🛞⚠️

Is your car celebrating a milestone? 🎂 Once your odometer hits 75k miles, it’s officially entered its " prime." At this stage, your engine's seals can start to lose their flexibility, which can lead to tiny oil leaks on your driveway or to oil burning that wasn't there before. High-mileage oil is specifically formulated with seal conditioners that help swell and rejuvenate those old gaskets, keeping the oil inside the engine where it belongs.

Need an oil change with a high-mileage oil option? Turn to our team to get the ultimate oil change service.

Between high interest rates and "market adjustments," the average new car payment is enough to make anyone sweat in 2026. But here’s a secret: The cheapest car you’ll ever own is usually the one already sitting in your driveway!

This article from CarBuzz hits the nail on the head. You can fall back in love with your current ride and save thousands in the process. ✨

Seriously. Don't buy a new car right now.

"Mike's team really does an awesome job. They went above and beyond with excellent communication, highlighted the issues that need immediate fix and which could wait, serviced my vehicle quickly, and continue to follow up to ensure my truck is running great. So happy I found a trustworthy shop close to home. I've always worked on my truck myself but when life gets too busy, I know Mike's team will take great care of my truck when I cant!"
