Robert's Car Care

While putting away inventory earlier today I realized we stock 11 different weights and blends of engine oil. It got me thinking to when I first started in the auto industry almost every car used 10W40 and now almost 40 years later, we don't even stock it anymore. In the late 80's in a push for better fuel economy 10W30 and 5W30 became the pop...

Your vehicle notices these changes too so this is the time to check your battery, exterior lighting and get your car ready for winter. This fall we have a lot of exciting things g...

The phone rings and the conversation starts with the familiar "how much do you charge for.....".  When the customer is asked why they believe they need a certain part, I usually hear they had the diagnostics done at a chain parts store. So you ask, where am I going with this? When your check engine light comes on your car is telling ...

From early wooden wheeled wagons to today's modern muscle cars, there's always been a guy that wanted to make it better, make it his own. I really can't recall ever owning a car that I could just leave alone. Whether it was different wheels, stere...
