Archive for March 2020Does Your Car Have A Recall Item?Posted March 29, 2020 7:17 AMRecalls are pretty serious for Charleston residents and don't happen all that often. But sometimes cars have less serious problems that Charleston residents still might want to know about. For these less serious cases, the vehicle manufacturer issues what is known as a Technical Service Bulletin – or TSB. These bulletins tell Charleston service centers (including Steve & Stacy's Servicenter) how to repair a problem that occurs frequently or is especially difficult. No matter how well they're made, vehicles are bound to have problems with their design or manufacturing. Think of all the moving parts. When the government thinks a problem is really serious, they require the vehicle manufacturer to issue recall notices to Charleston residents and to fix the affected vehicles free of charge. The they try to contact all Charleston residents who own that type of car so they can have it taken care of at their Charleston service center. To find out if your car has any recall issues, give us a call: Steve & Stacy's Servicenter Trip Inspection at Steve & Stacy's Servicenter in CharlestonPosted March 22, 2020 7:56 AMCharleston area drivers love their vehicles.

Do you notice any unusual odors in your vehicle? If so, it could be as harmless as a dirty cabin air filter. But if it's an exhaust leak, it could be fatal for Charleston drivers and their passengers on a long trip. Of course you'll want to be comfortable, so get an air conditioning service if you aren't getting the cold air you’re used to. Are your wiper blades still working well? If not, that is a quick and inexpensive fix for Charleston drivers. Headlamps are often overlooked when planning for a trip.

Steve & Stacy's Servicenter Tracking True in WV: Wheel Alignment in CharlestonPosted March 8, 2020 9:07 AMThe biggest issue for Charleston area drivers is always safety. When your vehicle wheels are out of alignment, the vehicle will pull to one side, which could lead to an accident. When you're vehicle is out of alignment, you should have it taken care of right away at Steve & Stacy's Servicenter in Charleston. When undergoing an alignment service at Steve & Stacy's Servicenter, your vehicle is put on an alignment rack where the tires, steering and suspension parts are checked for damage. Then the alignment is charted and checked against the factory settings. Obviously, a big jolt can seriously knock things out of alignment, but Charleston area drivers also need to understand that a series of smaller ones can add up. That's why we recommend periodic alignment checks. If your vehicle owner's manual doesn't specify the interval, once a year might be appropriate.
