Transmission Maintenance Tips:

•  Have your car’s transmission fluid changed according to the manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule, or when it becomes discolored or contaminated. *Transmission fluid should be clear and red in color.
•  Use the proper, manufacturer recommended transmission fluid.
•  Check your driveway for transmission fluid leaks.
•  Maintain your transmission fluid at the correct level, never overfill! *Some vehicles do not have a transmission dipstick and require a  mechanic to check the fluid level.
•  Always put pressure on the brake while shifting between park and drive, or reverse.
• Never shift to park or reverse while the car is still in forward motion, wait for a complete stop.
•  Do not tow your vehicle with the drive wheels on the road.
• Bring your car or truck to Lim’s Auto Body for a transmission check immediately if you notice any of these issues.

You have lots of choices when picking your mechanic. We would hope that you would consider Lim’s Auto Body. We understand the responsibility that comes into our care each time a client leaves their vehicle at our garage. As a family operated business, we also understand what it means to have a safe and reliable vehicle to transport your family. For this reason, we’ve compiled a helpful list of things to seek out when shopping for a preventative mechanic.

License and Certification: Lots of people love cars, are passionate about engines, and will offer to fix your vehicle for a bargain price. Unfortunately, not all these individuals are certified mechanics. When somebody other than a certified mechanic works on your vehicle, not only can it void your warranty, it can also lead to more problems later. Before you hand over your mode of transportation to a stranger, ask about his or her credentials. How long have they been in the business? Where did they go to school, or who did they train under? And do they have certification as a mechanic.

Our Staff: It’s so easy these days to book an appointment over the phone, or over the internet. Many individuals leave their vehicles without ever speaking to the company that will be working on it. Try to stop by a potential garage in person. Discuss any issues your vehicle has been having, and get a feel for whether the team seems genuine in their hopes to help you out. Any mechanic can fix a vehicle, but are they going to put in the dedication and high-quality work that guarantees you a safe vehicle when they’re finished? At Lim’s Auto Body, our team of experienced mechanics work hard to provide the best possible service every time they work on a vehicle.

What Are Others Saying? Before there were advertising companies and park benches covered in business logos, there was word of mouth, and this method of advertising still stands today. Fortunately, the age of the internet has made it easier than ever before to see what others are saying about a business and their practices. At Lim’s Auto Body, we encourage our clients to check out what past clients have said about us. We’re also happy to discuss previous types of work we have done, and how we can help you improve your vehicle. Don’t just take our word for how much care we put into our work, see what others are saying for yourself.

Fair pricing: There’s an industry standard for many types of repairs, especially if it’s going through your insurance, but some services range in price from mechanic to mechanic. Don’t be afraid to shop around for the best price, rather than taking the first quote you are given. Of course, it isn’t always best to go with the lowest bidder, over a high-quality shop, but sometimes you can get both. At Lim”s Auto Body, we aim to provide our customers with outstanding service on every job without breaking the bank. Our preventative repair work is very affordable, and we are happy to work with you to figure out a way to get your car in tip top shape without making it feel like a financial nightmare. Our end goal is a satisfied client, which is why we’ve tailored our preventative services to fit your schedule and budget.
