There are seven liquids a car can possibly drip: oil, gas, brake fluid, transmission fluid, gear oil, water, and coolant. How do you tell the difference? This article aims to help your know-how.

I should been bringing my diesel here a long time ago! Chris and his wife were incredibly helpful and very informative. Chris saved all the old parts and before he did anything made sure I understood why he was changing them and sent me photos and had me come down and look at everything he was doing so I didn’t think I was getting taken advantage of. Very honest and trustworthy. I will definitely be bringing my diesel here from now on!

If you think your mechanic doesn’t have to deal with getting certified like other professionals, you are quite possibly mistaken. We say “quite possibly” because mechanics generally aren’t required by law to get certified in this country, so it’s conceivable that Bub down at the local filling station doesn’t have any meaningful credentials hanging on his wall. However, since the founding of the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) in 1972, a culture of professionalism has emerged and today about half of the country’s auto mechanics are ASE-certified. There are other kinds of certification, too, and other issues to consider when searching for the right mechanic. We’ll walk you through the details.
