My car runs so much better now!

Guest Blog Post by Lorri Stockstill

I was visiting my family in Houston, Texas a few weeks ago. I drove my blue Acura Integra down there from Indianapolis. I was almost there when the car's engine started making some strange noises. I was pretty worried, but the car made it to my cousin's house. He said he always takes his and his wife's vehicles to the Houston auto repair shop down the street from their house.

I did the same, hoping it was just the trip's distance causing the car to need an extra early oil change. The guys working there were very nice about everything, and looked my car over immediately.

Thankfully, there wasn't anything seriously wrong with the car, and they said it was just the oil change, like I had been hoping for. I told them how far I had driven it, and that is when they said I should really get more than just the oil change. I asked them what else should I do, and they said with the distance I had just driven, and then with me having plans of driving all the way back up to Indianapolis, I should really get a tune up, which I did.

I drove back up here to Indianapolis, and the car ran great the whole trip back up! It's been about a week since I've been back up here, and it's still running great. I know it was used when I bought it, but my little blue beast of a car runs better now than it did when I bought it a few years ago. And now, I'm really jealous of my cousin - he's right down the street from these fantastic mechanics, only a few blocks.
