I live in Jacksonville Beach and take my 2001 Mercedes for any maintenance and repair to Kevin Sargent because I know I can trust and depend on getting the best service and fair price. I have been using Sargent's for about three years now and always trust whatever they do or recommend is absolutely professionally necessary. They definitely go out of their way to make me happy (which they have done many times keeping in mind the age of my car)! In my opinion, Kevin Sargent and all his mechanics are the VERY BEST in the area.....maybe even in ALL of Florida!!! P.S. They are also the friendliest bunch of people I have had the pleasure of meeting!!

Here’s a quick rundown of a system that’s very important, but you take for granted until there’s a problem; your brakes.  While there is a multitude of configurations and levels of complexity in automotive brake systems, they all essentially work the same way. Disregarding anti-lock brake systems and the like, this is how braking works in its simplest form.

In today's economic climate, people are working hard to make their dollars go further.

Alignment is the position of your wheels in relation to your vehicle and how they interact with the road. When your vehicle is properly aligned, your wheels will point in the same direction as the vehicle. To maintain proper control of your car, you must keep your wheels in proper alignment. Otherwise, steering will become difficult, your tires will wear unevenly and your fuel economy will decrease.

Judging by the number of near-rear-endings we witness on our morning commutes, the typical attitude toward brake maintenance appears to be, “Brakes: Don’t let them stop you!” This puzzles us because monitoring your braking system’s health is one of the most straightforward aspects of car ownership. You do have to know what to look for, though, or rather, what to listen and feel for. So let us, uh, break it down for you. Here are the top three signs that your brakes need fixing.
