Winter weather will be here before you know it, so now is the time to start preparing your vehicle.

There are plenty of other safety concerns to be aware of as well when it comes to driving during the winter. We’ve got you covered with five ways to prepare your vehicle for the winter months.

Choosing an auto repair shop to handle your vehicle repairs and maintenance can be difficult since consumers have many different options to choose from. Many people make the mistake of taking their vehicles to the most convenient location or the ones that offer the lowest prices. The problem with this is the repair shop may not be qualified to do the repair you need, don’t provide any workmanship guarantees, and end up costing you more money in the long run. Here are important characteristics to look for when choosing an auto repair shop.

A New Jersey state inspection is required for every vehicle that drives on the road. With proper maintenance and care of your vehicle, passing the state inspection is usually not an issue. However, when you fail an inspection, you may have to deal with more consequences than just simply getting the issue fixed by a repair shop and getting it re-inspected. There are timing issues to consider, as well as possible ramifications when you decide to sell your vehicle. Here’s what you need to know about a failed New Jersey state vehicle inspection and how you can ensure you always pass the inspection.

Buying a new vehicle every few years can get expensive and make you pay a lot more than you need to for automobiles. Some people want to avoid paying for costly repairs so much that they would prefer to buy a new vehicle every time a repair is needed. While this may be justified in some cases depending on the vehicle’s age and condition, many times the repair could have been prevented in the first place. The secret to keeping your vehicle for many years is preventative maintenance, and we’ve explained why it’s so important.

One of the things we take great pride in at DeBoer’s Auto is understanding the busy lives our customers have. Bringing in your vehicle for regular maintenance or to have something repaired is rarely convenient and can be time-consuming. Our goal is to be as efficient as possible in everything we do and provide the best care to your vehicle so you can have some of your time back. Here are the ways we do that.

Any business owner knows how important referrals are. Every industry and trade has plenty of competition and it’s easier than ever for customers to look online to find a professional best suited for them. And when a customer comes into your shop or store, you have one chance to make a good impression. If you do, then you may earn several other customers as a result. We take referrals seriously and have also developed a program to help our customers who provide a service as well. 

At DeBoer’s Auto, we enjoy educating the youth and anyone interested in our industry about being an automotive technician. We are proud to offer a formalized apprentice program where we will take in a student and educate them on our trade via online learning as well as plenty of hands-on experience. If you or anyone you know is interested in becoming an automotive technician, our apprentice program can be a great first step in a long and fulfilling career.

We love living, working, and raising our families in Sussex County. The NJ State Fair or The Sussex County Farm and Horse Show have been part of our history since what seems like forever.  It's not just something to do, it's the event of the year for local residents and business owners. There will be vendors coming from across the country to sell their products or provide their specialty culinary treats.

The rides, ferris wheel, the games and prizes. 4H competitions, all those animals, tractor pulls, pig racing, sausage & peppers, fried oreos, funnel cake and cotton candy. How could you possibly consider not going?

We know that going to the fair can add up to be a big expense. Maintenance on your vehicle can be easily justified to put off until later. We also know that putting off maintenance on your vehicle can lead to bigger headaches and bigger tickets down the road. We'd like to give you a couple extra bucks in your pocket for your trip to the fair.  

Bring your fair tickets when you come in for your oil change August 2th -9th and we'll give you $10 off you oil change. Schedule today at 973-827-4047

*Offer valid on services scheduled and completed August 2-9th, 2019 only.
