Automotive News & Information - Advantage Auto Service

There is a reason we check your brake fluid when you come in for a service check. Maintenance pays big dividends and we want to avoid high repair costs for our Murfreesboro drivers. Did you know that brake service isn't just all about the brake pads, drums & rotors? That we have found low brake fluid to be the cause of a large percentage of brake issues here at Advantage Automotive Service? Seriously, brake fluid is an important part of your braking system and with your service intervals being less frequent on the newer vehicles 5,000-10,000 more miles this has become an issue! Why?...

There are multiple types of tires on the market for almost every car, truck, or SUV. The type of tire you want depends on a variety of factors, from climate to how you drive. Here’s a short rundown of common street tires that’ll suit your needs.

If you drive a lightweight car, truck, or SUV, the torque converter you have installed is probably just fine. For those of you with more heavy duty applications, like high horsepower setups or towing rigs, the stock converter may not be enough. At Advantage Automotive Service in Murfreesboro, TN, we can help with that.

Are your fleet vehicles equipped with four-wheel or all-wheel drive? More and more, companies are moving towards vehicles equipped with one or the other - they’re safer and more useful, particularly in inclement weather or less than ideal conditions. If your fleet is powered by all four wheels, Advantage Automotive Service in Murfreesboro, TN has you covered.

Repairs are costly and we all want to avoid them including our team here at Advantage Automotive Service! It's our job and we take it seriously. Here, it is all about keeping your car or truck serviced and looking for problems "before" they happen to avoid those high repair costs and ensuring you avoid any breakdowns when it's hot outside or cold outside as either is a problem for our Murfreesboro drivers! Nobody can forsee a flat tire or blowout due to running over a nail, but we can avoid some of the regular issues we see all the time such as....

Sometimes it is EASY to see if your car or truck needs to come into our shop for professional repairs!
1. You see steam rising from the engine!
2. The Check Engine Light is on!
3. The engine starts, but there is an odor that is not right.
4. You hear grinding or thumping noises.

Transmission Cut to show you the inside of it

Nothing works if your transmission doesn't work! Simply put you are going nowhere without it and it is the one thing that both car and truck drivers alike never think twice about until it really acts up or they have no power or simply don't move forward. Most of us have a newer car or truck with an automatic transmission in it vs. a standard transmission so do not notice that it is slipping gears until the problem is really serious so the question is how do you get the most out of your transmission? The obvious answer is to take care of your transmission with scheduled service per your owner's manual recommendation but we have put together a simple checklist for our Murfreesboro drivers to help them become "transmission aware" as it were.

If you have to judge a fellow human, do it based on their actions. I feel like this is my seventh, maybe 8th year of having the opportunity to have David and his crew take care of my vehicles. I’ve been through three and we have had him and his crew take care of them. David could probably quote me when I say, “if I’m not moving, I’m not making any money”. For me and my family, that’s a very real truth. I’m self-employed and run a service company that spans a wide radius of Nashville. Anyhow, an honorable human that runs a service aimed not just at helping himself but helping those that help him. Being self-employed myself, I know David burns the candle from both ends to the middle to make sure everyone feels like a priority.
