How Do I Know If My Truck’s Clutch Needs To Be Replaced?

Signs of a failing clutch include slipping gears, difficulty shifting, and unusual noises like grinding or rattling. A worn clutch can reduce performance and fuel efficiency. If you notice these symptoms, schedule a clutch inspection to prevent further driveline damage and costly repairs.

What Causes Heavy-Duty Truck Brakes To Wear Out Quickly?

Frequent stop-and-go driving, overloading, and poor maintenance can accelerate brake wear. Fading braking power, squeaking, or vibrations indicate it’s time for service. Regular inspections and timely brake pad or rotor replacements ensure reliable stopping power and prevent dangerous brake failures.

"This is my second year going to them for my state inspection. My car is older so always a little nervous during inspection time but the staff is always super friendly & helpful both over the phone & in person. So far I have been very pleased with their service; of course cause my car has passed both years 😁. I plan on continuing to go to them for all my future inspections."
