Celebrating National Automotive Service Professionals Day
June 12th is National Automotive Service Professionals Day, and at DeBoer’s Auto, we believe this is more than just a day—it’s a chance to recognize the amazing people who keep our shop running and our customers safely on the road. From the bay to the front desk, deliveries to digital storytelling, we’re proud to introduce you to our crew.

Fatherhood doesn’t come with a pause button—between work, sports practices, school pickups, and weekend errands, dads are always on the move. And in the middle of all that hustle, it’s easy to let vehicle maintenance fall to the bottom of the list. That’s where we come in.

At DeBoer’s Auto, we believe that every little action has the power to make a big impact—on a car, a family, and even a whole community.

That’s why we created our Customer Loyalty Program, not just to reward our customers for choosing us, and to offer something even more meaningful: the chance to give back.

When the skies open up in a sudden summer downpour, there’s nothing more important than being able to see—and be seen—on the road. Most drivers don’t think twice about their windshield wipers or headlights until they’re caught in a storm and realize too late that something’s not quite right. But those quick fixes you’ve been putting off? They could be the difference between a safe arrival and a dangerous situation.

Emergency Items to Keep in Your Car This Spring (and Beyond!)
Spring brings sunshine, road trips, and the itch to just go—whether it’s a spontaneous drive to the shore or a long-overdue visit to family. But as we all know, even the best-laid travel plans can hit a speed bump. That’s why it’s smart to have a seasonal emergency kit stashed in your car. Just like you'd swap out your winter wardrobe for spring, it’s time to trade the ice scraper for some warm-weather essentials.

At DeBoer’s Auto, we believe “Life is about the journey, not just the destination.” And having the right tools in your car can help make sure your journey is a safe one.

 First Aid Kit
A must-have no matter the season. Stock it with bandages, antiseptic wipes, allergy meds (hello, pollen!), tweezers, gauze, and pain relievers. Spring adventures often come with minor scrapes, bug bites, or unexpected allergic reactions.

 Water & Non-Perishable Snacks
Warmer weather means quicker dehydration. Keep a few bottles of water and some long-lasting snacks (like granola bars or trail mix) in your kit. These can hold you over if you’re waiting for roadside assistance—or just hit a traffic jam with hungry passengers.

 Sun Protection
A small bottle of sunscreen, a hat, and even a pair of sunglasses can make a big difference if you’re stuck outside your car longer than expected. Bonus points for tossing in insect repellent while you're at it!

After months of cold mornings and bundled-up drives, the first warm day of spring feels like a breath of fresh air. You jump into your car, crank up the A/C... and instead of cool relief, you get a blast of warm, stale air. Not exactly the welcome you were hoping for, right?

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Every spring, we see a wave of drivers surprised to find that their A/C isn’t working like it used to. The truth is, even if you haven’t touched the A/C in months, winter can quietly take a toll on your system.

At DeBoer’s Auto, we believe your car should empower your lifestyle—not interrupt it. Whether it’s your daily commute, a spontaneous weekend getaway, or hauling the kids to practice, your vehicle needs tires that deliver performance, safety, and peace of mind. That’s why we’re excited to share an exclusive offer from Continental Tire.

Every vehicle on the road relies on a system of fluids to function properly — much like the human body depends on blood and water. These fluids don’t just “sit there.” They work actively to lubricate, cool, clean, and protect key systems in your car. Skipping out on monitoring and maintaining them can lead to performance issues, costly repairs, and even safety concerns.

Let’s take a deeper look at four of the most important fluids your car needs to stay healthy and road-ready: engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid.

Engine Oil: The Lifeblood of Your Engine
If there’s one fluid every driver knows about — or at least should — it’s engine oil. Itplays a critical role in keeping your engine's moving parts lubricated, reducing friction, and preventing overheating. As it circulates, it also helps carry away small particles of debris and carbon buildup, keeping your engine cleaner.

When the birds start chirping and the days get a little longer, most of us feel that itch to tidy up. Spring cleaning is practically a seasonal tradition—but while we’re busy scrubbing baseboards and organizing closets, there’s one place we often overlook: our cars.

After months of slushy roads, salt buildup, and freezing temps, your vehicle deserves a bit of post-winter love. Think of it as a reset for the road ahead.

As spring finally blooms and the days get longer, it’s the perfect time to plan a weekend adventure. Whether you’re in Hamburg or Sparta, NJ, there are countless road trip destinations just 1 to 1.5 hours away that will make the most of the season. Pack some snacks, roll the windows down, and check out these awesome spring spots.
But first things first: before you hit the road, make sure your vehicle is just as ready for spring as you are. A spring maintenance check-up from DeBoer’s Auto ensures you can travel with confidence.
