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.

At DeBoer’s Auto, we focus a lot of attention on the safety triangle to educate our customers and inform them of why it’s important. There are three parts to the safety triangle and part one is the tires. People often take their tires for granted and simply air them up when they are low on air. There’s a little more you should do with them, though, to keep them properly maintained and safe to drive on. Here’s what you need to know and do with your tires regularly.

Flushing out your automatic transmission is a service you should do regularly to keep your transmission alive and operating without any problems. If you don’t stay on top of this service, you could end up spending a significant amount of money in the long run when you have to get it replaced. We always recommend that our customers get a transmission fluid flush according to the manufacturer’s recommended timeline and here are some of the reasons why and how we do it.

Staying on top of your vehicle’s maintenance schedule is important for several reasons. One is because you want to extend the life of your vehicle as long as possible. And when it comes to maintaining your brakes, you want to make sure they are operating properly to keep you as safe as possible. The best way to accomplish both is to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations from your vehicle owner’s manual and keep up with your brake fluid maintenance. Here’s what you need to know about the process.

DeBoer’s Auto is thrilled to announce the date for our back-to-school car care clinic as Saturday, September 25th, 2021. It’s a very important clinic for drivers of all ages and skill levels to help them learn more about their vehicles. Back-to-school means kids are getting back into the swing of learning new things, so bring your new driver to the clinic and you might even learn a few things yourself.

Getting a state vehicle inspection is something everyone has to do. The inspection itself often doesn’t take a long time, but when you consider the wait time you might experience to even get an appointment, it can become burdensome. DeBoer’s Auto wanted to eliminate that burden by ensuring we have enough licensed New Jersey inspectors so you won’t have to wait as long. We’ve discussed a little bit about how that benefits you and what our new licensed inspectors had to go through to become licensed.
