Apple pie for the win!
By Heidi Robertson on Sep 19, 2024 11:54:07 AM
Don't you just love this time of year? The crisp mornings and the fall colors. We love to do our annual tradition of apple picking and selecting pumpkins and mums for decorations. Then home to start the bake-off. Well actually, my sister started days ago with cookies and favorites of the crowd, but we like to make a couple of apple pies with our selections from the morning's adventure. This recipe is a favorite, but we do a few variations just to keep it interesting. We break for dinner while the pies finish off and fill the house with an amazing aroma. Then forks up! But, don't even think about forgetting a scoop of ice cream on top!
Ingredients
Pie:
1 unbaked pie crust
3 large or 4-5 small Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup sugar
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
½ cup heavy cream
2 tsp vanilla extract

A Simple Guide for Smooth Rides
By Tina Ormond on Aug 27, 2024 4:36:39 PM
Understanding Your Car’s Suspension:
At DeBoer’s Auto, we believe that understanding your vehicle’s essential parts shouldn’t require a mechanic’s certification. That’s why we’re breaking down your car’s suspension system in a way that’s easy to grasp, even for an 8-year-old!
What is a Suspension System?
Your car’s suspension is like a team of superheroes working together to make sure your ride is as smooth as possible, even when the road gets rough. Let’s meet the team:
Springs: The Bouncers
Springs are like the bouncers at a trampoline park. Their job is to absorb the impact of bumps and dips in the road, so you don’t feel every single jolt as you drive. They make sure that when your car hits a bump, it can bounce a little without making the ride uncomfortable.

Streamlining Workflows and Ensuring Transparency
By Bill DeBoer on Jul 25, 2024 11:45:00 AM
At DeBoer's Auto Truck and Fleet Repair, we pride ourselves on delivering top-notch service while maintaining transparency and efficiency throughout the repair process. One of the key tools that enable us to achieve this is our advanced OBD-II scan tool, Roxie. This powerful device not only streamlines our workflow but also provides our customers with clear, understandable insights into the health and status of their vehicles.
Understanding the OBD-II Scan Process
When a customer brings their vehicle to DeBoer's Auto, one of the first steps we take is performing an OBD-II scan. This scan is crucial for ensuring that the vehicle's emissions system is compliant and that there are no underlying engine issues. By conducting this scan at the outset, our technicians gain a comprehensive understanding of the vehicle's condition before proceeding with any repairs or inspections.
The process begins with our technician plugging the Roxie scanner into the vehicle's OBD-II port. This connection allows Roxie to communicate with the vehicle's onboard computer and retrieve detailed diagnostic information. The technician inputs the pre-scan number for the work order, along with the customer's name, and initiates the scan. Within moments, Roxie generates a full readout of the vehicle's status, highlighting any potential issues that need attention.
Enhancing Workflow Efficiency
The real magic of Roxie lies in its ability to seamlessly integrate with our workflow. As soon as the scan is complete, a copy of the readout is automatically sent to our email system. This ensures that both the technician working on the vehicle and the service consultant managing the repair process have immediate access to the diagnostic data. By sharing this information in real-time, we eliminate any guesswork and ensure that everyone involved is on the same page.
This streamlined process not only saves time but also enhances the accuracy of our diagnostics. Our technicians can quickly identify any issues and determine the necessary repairs, while our service consultants can communicate these findings to the customer promptly. This level of efficiency is particularly beneficial during state inspections, as it allows us to verify compliance and address any concerns swiftly.
Ensuring Transparency for Our Customers
At DeBoer's Auto, we believe that transparency is key to building trust with our customers. The Roxie scan tool plays a significant role in achieving this by providing clear and detailed insights into the vehicle's condition. After the initial scan, the results are reviewed by both the technician and the service consultant. This collaborative review ensures that every aspect of the vehicle's health is thoroughly assessed and communicated accurately to the customer.
What's more, the Roxie tool is utilized not just at the beginning of the repair process but also at the completion. After all repairs are completed, a final scan is conducted to confirm that all issues have been addressed and that the vehicle is in optimal condition. This final scan provides a comprehensive update on the services performed, giving our customers peace of mind and confidence in the quality of our work.
The integration of the Roxie OBD-II scan tool at DeBoer's Auto Truck and Fleet Repair has revolutionized our approach to vehicle diagnostics and repairs. By streamlining our workflow and ensuring transparency, we are able to deliver exceptional service while keeping our customers informed every step of the way. Whether it's for a routine state inspection or a complex repair job, Roxie helps us maintain the high standards of quality and trust that DeBoer's Auto is known for.

The Impact of Oil Viscosity on Your Vehicle in Cold Weather
By Bill DeBoer on Dec 28, 2023 11:45:00 AM
As winter approaches, it's crucial to consider the effects of oil viscosity on your vehicle's performance. Oil viscosity, or its thickness, plays a significant role in engine function, especially in colder temperatures. Understanding this factor can help car owners make informed decisions about the type of oil they use and the importance of routine maintenance.
In colder weather, traditional oils tend to thicken, creating challenges for engines during startup. Thickened oil struggles to flow efficiently, increasing friction and wear on engine components. This can result in poor fuel efficiency, reduced engine performance, and potential long-term damage.

Winter Ready: 3 Vital Checks for Your Vehicle
By Bill DeBoer on Dec 21, 2023 8:15:15 PM
Winter is upon us, and ensuring your vehicle is equipped to handle the challenging conditions is crucial for both safety and performance. Here are the top three things you need to check to winterize your ride:
1. Battery Condition:
As temperatures drop, your car's battery has to work harder. Cold weather can significantly reduce its efficiency. Make certain your battery is in optimal condition by checking the charge and inspecting for any signs of corrosion on the terminals. If your battery is more than three years old, it's wise to have it professionally tested or replaced to prevent any unexpected breakdowns in the freezing weather.

Understanding the Ideal Gas Theory: How It Affects Your Tire Pressure in Cold Weather
By Bill DeBoer on Nov 14, 2023 9:33:26 AM
You may be wondering how this chemistry lesson relates to our work on cars. The ideal gas theory is an equation that uses P for pressure and V for volume. This theory explains what happens to the air in your tires during cold weather. As the temperature drops, the pressure in your tires decreases due to a direct correlation. This is the reason why you may see your tire light come on every morning during the winter months.
The formula for the ideal gas theory is PV = NRT. This means that the pressure times volume equals the number of moles of air multiplied by the gas constant rate and temperature. Although we cannot control the weather, we can help you when your tire pressure is low and direct you on how to keep your tire pressure in a safe range so that you can travel safely.

Savory Corn Bread Stuffing
By Heidi Robertson on Oct 30, 2023 2:06:47 PM
Growing up in my house we had holidays and meals that I thought were traditional. The fresh turkey, mom's sausage and parsley stuffing, mashed potatoes corn, usually a green bean casserole, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and almost everything was made from scratch. What else could you possibly need? Fast forward through the years, and lucky for me, I married a man who loves to cook and is really good at it. Although the first couple of holidays were honestly a bit of a gamble for me. If we hosted, I'd have to have the side comment with my siblings, as to ""Please, don't say 'Where's the sausage stuffing?'", and yes, you have to at least try the homemade squash soup he made. In every case, we were all pleasantly surprised and our bellies were always too full at the end of the day. Now one of the favorites is the cornbread stuffing that he makes. It's amazing, and there's usually not much for leftovers.

What Are Insurance-Covered Auto Repairs?
By Bill DeBoer on Apr 7, 2023 9:15:08 AM
DeBoer’s Auto regularly works with insurance companies to help our customers end up in the best situation possible. When you bring your vehicle to us for an auto repair, we can determine whether an insurance claim is possible. There are a few different types of insurance to know about liability, comprehensive, and collision.
Liability is the one you must have and kicks in when you damage other people’s property. Comprehensive insurance covers you in the case of theft, fire, and other types of damages. Collision insurance covers and indemnifies you when you have a collision with other items or vehicles. We will focus on comprehensive and collision to help you better understand what auto repairs might be covered under those policies.
