Do I need snow tires or all-season tires? This is a question we often hear from our customers.  To help answer that question we need to have a better understanding of your winter driving needs. Whether you need snow tires or all-season tires depends on several factors:

Last winter I noticed my heater wasn’t providing good heat.   I had the thermostat changed and I had the cooling system flushed, which didn’t seem to make much difference.  The garage told me the heater core could be restricted and will likely need to be replaced. They said they could try back flushing the heater core but wouldn’t guarantee that it would fix the problem.  When I got the estimate, it was a bit shocking.

Is your car's undercarriage exposed to the harsh elements of New Hampshire winters? Rust, corrosion, and salt damage can significantly reduce your vehicle's lifespan and resale value. That's where NHOU undercoating comes in....

One of the tires on my trailer lost all of its tread, it was like someone peeled it off with a big knife; you could even see the steel belts.   The trailer is not even 5 years old and the tread on all the other tires are like new.  When I went to buy a replacement, they told me I should replace all the tires due to their age.   I checked the date code on the tires, and they were just 6 years old and hardly used.  I was told this is a common problem with trailer tires.

The A/C on my 2017 Honda CRV stops working for no reason.   When I first turn it on the A/C blows really cold, but after a while the air turns warm like I turned it off, and I can’t get any cold air no matter what I have the settings on.   The shop checked my A/C charge and said everything seems to be working fine.  But the next day the A/C started blowing warm air again on my drive home from work.  What could be going on?  Do I have a bad compressor, sensor or something?...

The cost of replacing a water pump can vary depending on the make, model, and year of your vehicle, as well as the labor rates in your area. However, in general, replacing a water pump can be a costly repair.

A driver got a surprise the other day when he brought his vehicle into the shop for an oil change.  He knew his Owner’s Manual recommends an oil and oil filter change every 5,000 miles, but when Dan suggested his cabin air filter should be replaced, he thought,  "Hey they're just trying to sell me something I don't really need.  After all, how bad can a cabin air filter be?"
