The less your vehicle is on the road for business, the more money you are wasting. Vehicle breakdowns are one of the main causes of lost revenue for business owners who rely on their fleet so much. Proper routine care and maintenance may seem tedious and unnecessary if your vehicle is generally in good health, but the experts at DeBoer’s Auto can detect potential future issues to avoid a major breakdown later on. This starts with our digital inspection process, which is highly recommended to keep your fleet operating at high levels all the time.

Having a vehicle is one of the necessities of life for many people. It’s especially important for people who live in rural areas where mass transportation options aren’t available. The problem is vehicles can be expensive when you buy them and repairs can seem like they cost even more sometimes. However, case studies show people who own their vehicles for a long time and take care of them properly may actually be saving up to $100,000 by doing so. Let’s take a look at how it works.

When it comes to maintaining your vehicle, it’s important to bring it to an auto repair shop you trust. Part of that trust involves knowing that the best possible products are being used to keep your vehicle maintained properly. Valvoline makes some of the top products in the automotive industry and they back up their products by offering their Valvoline VPS Service Plus Warranty. They believe in their products so much that they will warranty component failures up to $4,000. With the proper maintenance schedule and the use of Valvoline products, chances are you’ll never have to take advantage of the warranty program.

At DeBoer’s Auto, we work on a variety of fleets and vans for customers. Some examples include the Ford Transit, the Dodge ProMaster and the Mercedes Sprinter. Our focus today is on the Mercedes Sprinter vans since they are very popular and we see a lot of common problems with them from our customers. Properly maintaining this type of vehicle can prevent downtime for your business, and we can help you identify the most common problems before they become a significant issue.

Who doesn't love a fresh Caprese salad? It's a gift from your garden saying thank you for all your hard work and tender loving care you've given it all spring. The fact is that we are Jersey and WE are the real deal when it comes to Jersey tomatoes. Oh, they are just so delicious! Fresh off the vine, sliced with a little sprinkle of S&P Yummmm.

It's still a few months until the "goods" are ripe and ready to pick, but

we've been pretending since last Labor day, and have made due

with what's available, so lets use what we can until then. 

1 pound Marinated grilled chicken breasts

2 avocados (sliced)
2 ripe tomatoes
1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese

Have you ever bought a new car at a dealership and the sales representative said you had to get all of your service and maintenance completed at their dealership to maintain your warranty? This has been a problem throughout New Jersey for years as it instills fear in the consumer that they don’t have the freedom to perform any maintenance or repairs on their own or by their favorite auto repair shop. With the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, these fears are no more and consumers have the freedom to take their vehicle anywhere for service, or service it themselves, while still maintaining their warranty.

At DeBoer’s Auto, our goal every day is to provide the highest level of quality service to every customer that walks through the door.

Not only will Tina provide exceptional knowledge on the frontlines to do an outstanding job, but we are confident our customers will love interacting with her when they walk in the door.

As a fleet operator, the last thing you can afford is to have your vehicles in the shop for days at a time. Not only are you spending money on the work that needs to be done to them, but you’re also not making any money. We understand this completely at DeBoer’s Auto, so we prioritize getting your fleet in and out as quickly as possible with the highest quality of workmanship. Time is money for fleet owners and here are some of the ways we can increase our speed of service.

Owning or managing a fleet can be a stressful job. Setting a budget and sticking to it is challenging since so many unexpected things can happen to vehicles that drive up the costs of operating them. DeBoer’s Auto has worked with many fleet operators over the years and has a better understanding of their risk management strategies as a result. Not only can these strategies keep your business moving forward, but they can also minimize direct expenses and keep insurance numbers as low as possible.

At DeBoer’s Auto, we believe all vehicles can go 250,000 miles without any issues. However, this requires regular and timely repairs and maintenance to be achieved. By doing so, you could realistically save upwards of $100,000 when you factor in the cost of paying for expensive repairs due to ignoring warning signs or even buying new vehicles every couple of years. This isn’t very time efficient nor cost-effective for fleet owners, so we offer personalized fleet services to help you keep your vehicles on a regular schedule for maintenance and repairs to ensure your business is moving forward.
