fluid being poured from a container

The transmission in your truck works harder than any other on the road. A fully loaded semi weighs about 40 times as much as a normal passenger vehicle, and racks up twice the mileage. As such, it’s essential to keep your transmission in good shape and regularly maintenanced. Fortunately, Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River has you covered.

Keeping our customers safe and on the road is our goal at Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL. When something goes wrong with your engine or your vehicle's electrical system, your car will usually let you know immediately. However, when the rubber meets the road, you need to know that your tires are in great shape as well.

truck

As your vehicle ages, it not only gains sentimental value but a number of maintenance measures arise as well. Trucks from previous decades have the potential to keep their value and functionality for many years. Here are some tips from Dirk’s Auto Clinic to keep your older truck running for a prolonged time.

valves on a vehicle

At Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL, our main goal is to keep your car, truck, or SUV always performing at its best. Valve adjustments are an integral aspect of that goal.

fuel in tank pumping

If you drive a car, truck, or SUV that runs on gasoline, there's a good chance you’ve run it low on fuel a few times (or more than a few times,) and maybe even run out of gas completely a time or two. At Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL, we like to provide information applicable to you. Running a vehicle low on fuel is something we’re all guilty of, and most of us don’t think twice about it. But, can it be bad for your car?

tires

Tire pressure may seem innocuous enough, but at Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, we know how much of a difference correct tire pressure makes. Tire pressure checks are just one of many regular service items we check when you bring your truck in for servicing, but it’s one that’s more important than you might think.

Automotive radiator

At Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL, we know how annoying little quirks and issues can be. A common problem vehicles experience is a cooling fan that doesn’t kick on and off when it’s supposed to. While a fan that won’t kick off is far less troubling than a fan that won’t turn on, it’s still a problem that needs to be fixed for a variety of reasons. Here’s why, and what you should do.

fleet

No matter what you drive, compression is important. On fleet and commercial diesel engines, it’s essential. At Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL, we have the knowledge and ability you need to keep your fleet on the road and running strong.
