Who actually likes taking their car into a mechanic shop to get worked on? There are usually two reasons why you have to take it in. One is to get routine maintenance done. The other is because you’ve experienced a breakdown or other major issue that needs to be addressed. These major issues can be a nightmare and create a significant inconvenience to your budget and lifestyle, so we have some tips to help you avoid those situations.

One of the most common customer questions we get at DeBoer’s Auto is whether it’s worth it to pay a significant price to invest in their current car, or if they should just buy a new one. The simple answer is it just depends. When your car gets a certain age, there will come a time when it needs new tires, new brakes and other high ticket items. By the time all the servicing and maintenance is done, your bill could approach $3k-$5k quickly. So is it worth it to make that investment in your current car, or sell it and buy a new one? Here’s what you need to strongly consider before making a decision.

Driving during a winter event is never fun. Usually the best case scenario is arriving at your destination much later than normal, but sometimes it could mean you get stranded for several hours until the winter storm passes. This time of year it’s always best to be over-prepared rather than being caught off guard, so we’ve put together a survival guide for you to take into consideration this winter season.

Not only are car repairs a burden financially at times, but they can be a hassle. You are most likely busy every day and simply don’t have the time to sit around and wait for your vehicle to get repaired. The good thing is many auto repair shops in Sussex County offer loaner cars for their valued customers. Some people may balk at the idea of driving around a rental car, but there are some great benefits that should be taken advantage of!

Despite the fact half the drivers on the road are women, there’s a huge disparity in women’s car knowledge compared to men’s. We could speculate and debate about the reasons why that’s the case. Instead, we at DeBoer's Auto understood the importance of educating women about their cars and decided to do something to help change that. When it comes to any subject, the more you know, the more confident you are. On Saturday, October 27th, we presented a two-hour seminar designed to familiarize women with their cars so they’ll be more confident drivers and consumers.

Repairing or replacing this component can be quite expensive.
