Clear Skies and Warm Weather Make for Fun Behind the Wheel

Posted on by

Winston-Salem auto cleaningAt long last, warm breezes have blown away the last clouds of winter! While we’ve still got some spring showers ahead of us, it’s a thrill to look outside and see the sun. At Frank Myers Auto Maxx, the whole team is thrilled to roll down the windows and head out for some leisurely spring drives.

Of course, spring is also the perfect time for a good, deep cleaning of your vehicle. Spring cleaning is a tradition, after all, and washing the grime of winter off of your vehicle should certainly be at the top of your list.

Break out the buckets now, and you can look forward to a season of looking your best behind the wheel. For starters, be sure to pick up some soap that’s meant for car cleaning. This ensures that your car or truck will maintain it’s shiny and protective clear coat, which harsher soaps might begin to strip off.

Following the same logic, be sure to use a soft sponge or wash-leather that won’t scratch the paint or glass. Then it’s simply a matter of working your over the vehicle, giving it a good rinse with clean, clear water, and drying off before water spots can form! For added protection, lay a coat of wax on top before you hit the road.

Winston-Salem Auto Repair Center Helps Drivers Slow Their Roll

Posted on by

Winston-Salem auto repair couponsThese days, drivers are busier than ever. With so much to do and so many places to be, it seems like many of our customers are always going, going, going! Unfortunately, the need to get somewhere leads many of our customers to neglect an important aspect of their vehicle’s performance: stopping.

At our Winston-Salem auto repair center, we know that being able to stop or slow down in a contained and effective manner is positively crucial to staying in control and avoiding potential accidents. Accordingly, it’s positively essential that our customers pay special attention to their braking systems to ensure effective stopping power.

There are many ways to tell if your vehicle’s brakes may need some special attention. Our expert technicians have listed out a few of them to help you identify potential trouble with your brakes!

Easy-to-Spot Symptoms Offer a Dead Giveaway for Brake Trouble

Auto repair center in Winston-SalemMany drivers who visit our auto repair shop in Winston-Salem for brake work stop by because of a noise that they hear while braking. A distinctive squeak is typically the result of a built-in indicator, which is designed to create an audible warning when your brakes began to wear down. A less-pleasant screeching, on the other hand, is a sign that your brakes are past due for replacement.

Another sign that your brakes need attention may be right at your feet. If you feel shaking, vibrating, or pulsing in your brake pedal, it can be an indicator that your brakes are wearing unevenly or that your rotors are warped. In either case, let one of our experts take a look.

If you’re ever unsure whether your brakes need attention, don’t hesitate to visit us; our expert technicians will inspect your brake system at no charge to determine whether or not you’re due for service!

Consumer Warning: Are Damaged Vehicles Allegedly Being Fixed & Sold In North Carolina?

Posted on by

frank myers wrecked carShould North Carolina used car shoppers be on the lookout for vehicles which have been wrecked, repaired and then offered for sale? That is the question being asked by Tracy Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston Salem, NC.

“I was approached by a customer who informed me that the Mustang he purchased from my dealership had been wrecked but fixed before he bought it,” stated Myers. “When I asked him where he was getting this shocking information from, he said that a local DMV official had told him. Since this was the first I was hearing of it, I needed to make sure it was a legitimate concern.”

 

As the facts unfolded, it seems that the story had some merit. Here is what was discovered by Myers and the DMV:

1) Frank Myers Auto Maxx purchased 5 vehicles from another dealer with “clean” titles, meaning they were not branded as salvaged.

2) The original selling dealer bought these vehicles out of state at an insurance auction. The titles were still “clean” at this point.

3) All 5 vehicles had Certified vehicle history reports.

4) The 5 vehicles in question were sold to used car buyers by Frank Myers Auto Maxx.

5) After the vehicles were purchased, the titles were sent to NC DMV and all 5 came back “clean”.

The mystery here is how these vehicles were allegedly wrecked and repaired without the damage showing up on the vehicles titles or vehicle history reports. “We’re still trying to figure some of this out ourselves. I’ve been in the automotive industry my entire life and have never seen anything like this before”, said Myers.

The good news is that Myers insisted on offering his customers a resolution. “While I feel like I was also a victim, offering our customers a resolution was number one on our priority list. We got new cars for 3 of the customers while customer number 4 decided to keep his. We are still in negotiations with customer number 5 and expect to have her happy in the next few days. It IS unfortunate that this happened but, thanks to the DMV, it was discovered early which allowed us to act fast.”

What about the chances of this happening again in the future? “There’s always a chance”, said Myers. “However, we’ve worked hand in hand with DMV and they’ve agreed to personally inspect and sign off on any vehicle(s). This is not only a great way to protect the dealership but also our customers.”

A reliable source, which chose to remain anonymous, said that “Not taking anything away from their customers but Frank Myers Auto Maxx was certainly a victim here. They could have, and had the right to, fight something in court that wasn’t their fault. Luckily, they took the high road and decided to do the right thing by their customers. That was a stand up thing to do and they should be commended.”
