Where has the time gone? It seems just yesterday the good drivers of northern Virginia were concerned with winterizing their vehicles, and now: Memorial Day is upon us. That means barbecues, and tailgates, and summer vacation. And that’s not all it means: Collectively, cars and trucks account for nearly one-fifth of all U.S. emissions, emitting around 24 pounds of carbon dioxide and other global-warming gases for every gallon of gas. Some of this could be prevented if everyone kept their cars running efficiently. Summer means heat, and dust, and lots of stop-and-go traffic, all of which can take a hefty…

read moreWhy Choose Mechanic Service over Dealership Service
This question is so frequently asked by car owners and oftentimes is not easy to answer as not every dealer and repair shop is made equal.
