Automotive News & Information - Sargeant Service Center

It’s not always easy to recognize when your vehicle is suffering from a simple problem that requires a little maintenance and TLC or there is real engine damage as symptoms can be overlooked and seen as “normal.” While not all sounds and smells may threaten the life of your car or truck engine, there are some obvious warning signs that require a vehicle inspection here at the shop right away.

Amazing!! By God's divine intervention we found this place. We're traveling from Tampa when our van started hesitating really badly. We called and even though they were closing soon they took the time to check it out and assure us that it was nothing major and even topped off our brake fluid which was low and they did it for free! If we lived here we would definitely use them again and again for service. Thanks!! - Becky M.

We have great pride in our military and veterans and honor them on Veterans Day each November 11th. Did you know how and why it is on November 11th? The reason dates back to 1918 and pays homage to the date and time the WW I cease fire went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month when a temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect. November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars” eventhough the official end of the what we refer to as "The Great War" ended with the Treaty of Versailles signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France.

I was travelling from south Fl to Buffalo, NY in June when my car stopped on 1-95. AAA towed me to this facility and it was the best thing that could have happened to me. They are a first class, family operated business. They had diagnosed, ordered and gotten the parts and repaired my car in a little over 3 hourse. They gave me a ride to get lunch and picked me back up. During this time I was being kept aware of all that was being done and the costs I guarantee if I lived in this area, this is where i would go. -Linds M

Hands down the best service I have ever had while getting my car fixed. This family owned business treats its customers like family plus they offer a shuttle service , which is a bonus. Would recommend this company to anyone who wants the job done professionally, efficient and honest. -Debi K

Have you checked your brakes lately? I know you expect them to stop your car or truck when you step on that brake pedal, but when they don't work as expected it's too late and then you have an accident with damage to your vehicle but more importantly to the people inside your car and those on the road who may be in your path.

Let's avoid that issue! Test your brakes by lightly tapping them in different situations when the roads are both wet and dry. If your vehicle is pulling to one side, your brake pedal pulses up and down or the steering wheel shakes when the brakes are applied, you are very much overdue for a brake check. Getting in early will save you money as it is always easier to fix a problem before it becomes a huge issue and your brakes are gone requiring new brakes, pads, rotars, and drums.

When in doubt stop by our shop and have one of our professional automotive repair technicians take a look. Don't wait until it's too late to solve these problems and let us help you stay safe on the road! After all, that is the reason we raise these garage doors every day and open these tool boxes. We love what we do and want to ensure our drivers can stay on the roads longer with their vehicles safer and more cost efficiently.
