East Coast Automotive Services East Coast Automotive Services Advice on Buying New TiresPosted June 23, 2024 6:40 AMToday's tires and wheels offer a lot of options for every Jupiter driver's style, habits and driving conditions. East Coast Automotive Services Upgrade Shocks for Better Handling in JupiterPosted June 16, 2024 6:34 AMMany Jupiter drivers probably don't think of their shock absorbers as an important safety system; but that's just what shocks and struts are. They're all about ride control – keeping your vehicle tires in contact with the road and managing body motion. East Coast Automotive Services The Power Behind your Engine (Alternator Diagnosis and Repair)Posted June 9, 2024 6:40 AMThere's nothing like that sinking feeling when you turn the key and nothing happens in your vehicle. A lot of us are quick to blame the battery. But it may instead be your alternator that's failing. Your battery supplies power to start your vehicle, but the alternator is what sends power when your engine is running. The good news is alternators last a fairly long time, and it's not unusual to get seven years out of one. But they can give up the ghost thanks to the harsh conditions in the engine compartment. Alternators have bearings inside them that keep things turning smoothly. Debris, liquid, dirt and more can team up with the high temperatures your engine generates to cause those bearings to seize up. That's not good, and if that happens, you may even be able to hear the bearings grind. Other symptoms of a dying alternator are a squealing noise in the engine compartment or your headlights may go dim and bright, dim and bright. You might even notice an electrical smell. Any of these signs warrants a trip to your service facility. Here's something else to think about. If your alternator's bearings have seized up and the unit's shaft is not turning freely, that can destroy the belt that's attached to it. So don't be surprised if your service advisor says both parts have to be replaced. There are different grades of alternators you can buy, but consider just how important this part is to keep your vehicle running. Your service advisor will give you options based on your driving style and vehicle. Remember, if you notice any of those symptoms that may signal a failing alternator, have it taken care of before you wind up stuck somewhere at the side of the road. East Coast Automotive Services Jupiter Tire RepairPosted June 2, 2024 6:37 AMMost Jupiter residents have experienced a flat tire. You know it's inconvenient and a pain. Our tires are important. Keeping them in good working order isn't just a big safety issue for Jupiter drivers – it also has a financial impact. With high FL gas prices, we've all heard about the importance of keeping proper tire pressure to save on gas. In addition, proper inflation promotes even tread wear so your tires last longer. There's another danger with under-inflated tires for Jupiter residents. Low tire pressure puts added stress on the structure of the tire itself, causing it to break down prematurely. Also, under-inflated tires generate more heat which also reduces tire life. So get those slow leaks fixed quickly – don't just keep adding air every few days. You want to avoid tire damage. Jupiter residents should only hire qualified tire professionals to perform repairs - we have a whole team of them at East Coast Automotive Services. Jupiter folks can buy self-repair kits, but we advise you to save those for emergencies, like when you're off-roading and need a quick fix so you can hobble back to civilization and get professional help. If you need to use a repair-in-a-can product, remember it's a temporary measure only and your tire needs to be properly repaired as soon as possible. East Coast Automotive Services | ||

Karl Snyder, 07/18/2024Automotive service and customer care done, right! I drive a 2013 and a 2007 automobiles. The vehicles have approximately 150,000 and 135,000 miles on them respectively. East Coast Automotive has done an excellent job of keeping the cars maintained and roadworthy. There have been the usual items that have needed service/repair typical to cars with as many miles as they have on them. With the cost of new automobiles as high as it is these days, I have complete faith in East Coast Automotive helping me keep both vehicles on the road for as long as possible. If you’re looking for a good automotive repair center that you can rely on try East Coast Automotive.
