How long have you been driving? Most people say since they were sixteen years old or even younger. Driving for that long will obviously improve anyone’s driving, but there will always be room for improvement. Whether that’s getting rid of distractions or simply changing how you drive, here are some tips that are sure to better your driving.

If you own or operate a fleet or commercial truck, you’re no stranger to breakdowns or have heard the horror stories breakdowns can endure. So why do they happen, and what can you do about it? Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL wants to get you informed. Reducing the chance of a break down can help protect your driver, reduce larger repair fees down the road, and keeps your business running smoothly without having a fleet truck down. 

Oil being poured into a diesel vehicle

If you drive a Dodge, Chevy, or Ford diesel pickup, you know the amount of hard work your truck puts in. You may also be aware that diesels run a little dirtier than your average gas burner. At Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL, our goal is to keep your Duramax, Cummins, or Powerstroke truck on the road for many miles to come. A huge part of that is keeping your oil maintained.

exhaust

At Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, we understand that your exhaust system is an essential aspect of your vehicle’s ride quality and performance. Our technicians are professionals in exhaust system replacement and repair, ensuring your car, truck, or SUV sounds great and keeps running smoothly.

diesel maintenance

On gas engines, the fuel delivery system is pretty simple - an electric pump draws gas from the tank, and pushes it to the injectors. Diesel systems are a little more complex. At Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL, we like to keep you informed about what’s on your truck, how it works, and how to maintain it, so you stay reliably on the road.

transmission

At Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL, we see a lot of the same mistakes that cause a transmission to fail. With our help, you can avoid a preventable transmission failure and keep your car reliably on the road.

flat tire with air being put in

Keeping your tires properly inflated and regularly checking the tread can save you money and keep you safe! At Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL we want to keep you and everyone in your car safe. Let us help you keep your tires maintained at their best.

drivetrain

Your drivetrain is where most of the process of moving your vehicle occurs. The drivetrain includes all the parts powered by the engine to turn the wheels, including the transmission, axles, or driveshafts that combine efforts to propel your car forward (or backward, when you’re in reverse.) At Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL, our drivetrain specialists are well equipped to keep your car, truck, or SUV reliably on the road and running smoothly along.
