At DeBoer’s Auto, we focus a lot of our attention on fixing vehicles and providing regular maintenance to prevent problems from occurring. One thing we don’t talk about often that we offer is vehicle accessories. Whether it’s a roof rack or a quality floor mat, you don’t have to go shopping elsewhere for them. Think about the accessories that could make your life and travels a little easier and then reach out to us before purchasing them.

Not many things are worse than getting into your vehicle and finding out that it won’t start. Most of the time this is because your battery is dead or very weak, which means you’ll have to jump-start it to get you where you need to go. While we all want our car battery to last as long as possible, the truth is it can get weak quickly and unexpectedly to the point where it needs to be replaced. 

Whether you have an obvious mouse problem at your home or not, there’s still a chance you could have one at any time. Mice can cause major damage in and around your home in many ways, including on your vehicle. They love getting under the hood during the winter since it’s warmer than being outside in the weather elements. The problem is they can cause serious damage to your vehicle. We’ve explained a potential solution to keep them away.

Our employees at DeBoer’s Auto love to come to work every day for many reasons. One is because we all love working on cars and making customers happy, but we also genuinely like to have fun. A game we like to play often is show-and-tell. You might have played this when you were a kid or play it with your children now and can attest to how great of a game it is. We take it up a notch at DeBoer’s Auto and get our customers involved in our show-and-tell games by letting them see their vehicle in our shop while we tell them what they need to know about it.

DeBoer’s Auto is pleased to announce the hire of our new employee, Jess. Jess previously worked at a lawn mowing company and has a significant amount of experience working on vehicles. In fact, she grew up around cars and performs work on her vehicle herself. We are confident in her ability to do a great job at DeBoer’s Auto and we fully expect our customers to feel the same way. Here’s a little more to know about Jess.

DeBoer’s Auto always strives to provide the best for our customers, whether it’s the work we do on vehicles, the pricing, or any other type of service. We understand everyone has busy schedules and might not have the time to call us to schedule vehicle service appointments, so we’ve made the process easier for you. Otis is our new virtual assistant chatbot that can help you with a variety of things. All you have to do is click on the lower right-hand corner of the website and ask Otis any questions you have. Here are the benefits you can experience.

The Mercedes Sprinter Van is a great vehicle, but it’s also a very common one that we see in our shop at DeBoer’s Auto. The biggest problem is we often were not able to do the repair in-house because we did not have the equipment or parts to be able to work on them. This meant we had to send the vehicle to Mercedes to get repaired or the customer had to do so. We never like to make our customers jump through hoops or spend any extra money if it can be avoided, so we are thrilled to have acquired the Mercedes scan tool so we can handle most repairs to Mercedes Sprinter Vans in-house.

The average driver doesn’t know a lot about their steering or suspension system, but that doesn’t make it any less important to maintain. Not keeping your shocks and struts operating properly might not hinder your day-to-day driving or create a noticeably different driving experience, but it could negatively impact you in an emergency situation. Part three of our three-part series on the safety triangle discusses what you need to know about maintaining your steering and suspension system.

It’s always important to ensure your brake system is operating at maximum capacity. If they aren’t working at maximum capacity, they could still work effectively enough for a little while, but they will eventually fail quicker as well. The last thing you want to experience is a situation where you have to slam on the brakes in an emergency and they don’t work how they should. Part two of our three-part series on the safety triangle explains everything you need to know about maintaining your brake system.
