When searching for a local auto repair shop in the Ottsville area, look no further than Cunningham’s Automotive Repair. Cunningham’s vows to provide the local
customer the service excellence that you expect.
Locally owned and operated by a husband and wife team, Cunningham’s has
earned the reputation of providing honest, prompt, and fair service.Spring has arrived, with summer following close behind. This brings a new set of service demands for your vehicle. The cooling system in your vehicle may be put in extremely high demand as outdoor temperatures rise and put excessive demands on your vehicle’s system. The primary function of the cooling system is to remove heat from the engine and release it into the air. The water pump circulates coolant throughout the system, where it absorbs the heat before being returned to the radiator. There are various components that make up the cooling system – the water pump, the thermostat, and the radiator. If any of these is not working effectively or efficiently, the engine can overheat and stop functioning. Cunningham’s will provide you with an estimate for the services required, and will get you back on the road as soon as possible.
Another area of common concern is the brake system on your
vehicle. There are many symptoms that
indicate that there may be a problem with your brake system. Some of these include:
- Your pedal is low or soft when you push down
- Your pedal is hard when you push down
- Your brake warning light comes on and stays on
- Brakes constantly squeal and grind
- Vibrations or clunking sounds come from your vehicle when you apply your brakes
If you are experiencing any of these
signs, then it is time to visit Cunningham’s Automotive Repair for a brake
assessment. It is possible that your
brake fluid is low or needs changing. It
is also possible that you may need new brakes or simply an adjustment to your
brake system. Cunningham’s will give you
a written estimate before any work is done so that there will be no surprises
when you receive your bill.
After a six-year trend in annual repair cost drops,
2012 saw a 10% increase in car repair costs to $368 due largely to an
increase in labor costs. This can be attributed to several factors, including
an improving economy and a return to pre-recession labor rates. The average age
of vehicles has also reached an all-time high, which has caused a slight increase
in percentage of more expensive repairs.
