Is There Anything New Cars Can’t Do?

We take pride in maintaining your vehicles. Many of our clients are driving vehicles that we have serviced for years and are looking to extend the life of their vehicle. Our maintenance services, repair services, and customer service keeps them coming back. With properly maintained vehicles, many of our customers are saving money, building equity in their vehicle, and taking pride in a big investment. But as we continue maintaining your older vehicles, there have been some exciting changes in new vehicle technology that we’d bring you up to speed on. For some people, this is an incentive to buy new vehicles every couple of years. For others, just being aware of the possibilities is good enough. Either way, we think the automotive trends are pretty exciting. With a trusted repair shop, there’s a good chance your vehicle will continue running for years to come.

There is popular technology and then there is new green technology. Each category has some really amazing products on the market and it can almost feel as if cars nowadays can do just about anything we need them do. The vehicle itself has the ability to work for the driver at a request. Safety is always kept in mind, so changes and modifications are always working for us. When it comes to new electronic technology, we see navigation and GPS systems with voice controls. Systems such as blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, forward-collision braking, and lane-departure warning use cameras and radar to alert drivers to potential dangers in and around the vehicle. Those technologies are slowly trickling down to less expensive cars. “Over the past decade, the technology available in vehicles has grown by leaps and bounds. It’s now quite common for our cars to talk to us, answer our phone and provide extensive protective measures in the event of a crash – things that were only dreamt of not too long ago,” said John Nielsen, AAA National Director of Auto Repair and Buying Services.

Green technology focuses on fuel efficiency and reduction. Systems and technology such as solar roof panels can convert sunlight into electrical energy. The power generated can be sent to the electric motors that drive the car, used to power the climate controls or stored for future use. Likewise, several new hybrid models offer drivers a choice of operating modes that can help them obtain maximum fuel efficiency.

No matter which vehicle you drive – old or new – we can perform preventative maintenance services to ensure that it is driving at optimal performance. With our knowledge and experience, automotive technology is part of our passion for caring for your vehicle. While we thoroughly enjoy working with the new technology available at our fingertips, we will never stop caring for early-model vehicles to get you the most miles and best performance you need. Bring your vehicle into our auto repair shop and experience everything that your vehicle deserves no matter it’s age.
