Your Car’s Vital Fluids: What They Are and Why They Matter
By Tina Ormond on May 13, 2025 12:38:43 PM
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.

But here’s the truth: tires often take the blame when the real issue lies deeper within the vehicle.
Let’s explore the real reasons your ride feels rough—and how to fix them before they turn into bigger (and more expensive) problems.

How Women Bring a Fresh Perspective to Automotive Service and Customer Care
By Tina Ormond on Mar 18, 2025 6:29:02 PM
Challenging the Norms at DeBoer’s
The automotive service industry has long been perceived as a male-dominated field, with the expectation that men are the primary decision-makers when it comes to vehicle maintenance and repairs. However, this outdated notion is quickly changing as more women step into leadership and customer-facing roles, proving that expertise, communication, and customer care are not gender-specific. At DeBoer’s, our team of knowledgeable, skilled, and customer-focused women is redefining what it means to work in automotive service.
Breaking the Stereotype: Do Customers Prefer to Speak with Men?
It’s a common assumption that when a man brings his car in for service, he wants to speak with another man. While DeBoer’s certainly accommodates all preferences—Chris, our male Service Advisor, is always available—we’ve found that most customers, regardless of gender, are completely satisfied and often delighted with the expertise and approachability of our female team members.
