Clay, I just want to thank you for repairing the AC on my Corvette. I was unsure where to take it, as it was out of warranty and a trip to the dealer would no doubt prove very expensive, and a trip to an independent might prove problematic if they weren't able to handle the GM specific side of the problem. You were recommended to me by Stevie as an honest and GM/Chevy experienced tech. I couldn't be happier! Not only was your estimate very fair, but when I picked the car up the actual charge was considerably less. and you used genuine GM parts to boot. I have already recommended you to others, and you can bet that any non-warranty work that I need done in the future will be done by you. Thank you, Neil Kline

Changing the oil in big trucks and commercial vehicles is an expensive, but necessary, part of keeping your vehicles going. You don’t want to wait until it’s too late to change your oil, but changing it too early can be a waste of time and money. Having your oil tested regularly helps us to hone in on exactly how often your oil needs to be changed, to optimize reliability and efficiency.

At Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL, our goal is to keep your car, truck, or SUV reliable and in great shape. To us, it’s important that we’re paying attention to both your needs and the needs of your vehicle. When it comes to oxygen sensors, sometimes it seems a bit nebulous on what they actually do and why they’re important; we’re here to clear things up for you.
