Auto Repair in Lorton

Wiper blades deteriorate from being exposed to sunlight and this causes them to become stiff. Stiff wiper blades will not wipe your windshield properly. Replacing your wiper blades will help your visibility, especially at nighttime driving. New wiper blades help keep your windshield clear from all the different distractions of lights. Stay Safe! Thank you for watching.  

Hi there. Ben here at Advanced Auto Tech. I want to take a minute to talk about fluids in your car and when they should be serviced. For most vehicles, the transmission, brake, coolant, and power steering fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles, and differential service and manual transmission transfer case should be changed out every 75.

Another way to maintain your tires is to keep them rotated at every service interval. The reason we do this is that if they're not rotated, they will start to wear unevenly. Tires that are not rotated regularly get cupped and that causes road-noise, and it also can cause some irregular patterns in the ... read more
