Transmission malfunctions are sometimes hard to pin down and might even go unnoticed. A transmission slip can manifest itself in a lot of different ways because there’s not a universal or consistent way to describe it. Since it will vary based on the vehicle, how bad the issue is, and what components are at fault, here are some symptoms to look for in your vehicle.

Obviously, your brakes are essential. However, it’s easy to neglect or ignore brake issues, and even miss them altogether; as long as the car, truck, or SUV still stops, many people don’t see the need to have their brakes serviced. From Lowcountry Automotive and Performance LLC in Moncks Corner, here are some common brake issues, and why you should fix them.

Part of maintaining your vehicle is keeping its safety devices in good working order, especially when there are kids in the vehicle. Seat belts, window locks, and airbag sensors work together to keep children safe in an automobile. Though safety components are generally very reliable, they do occasionally fail. Lowcountry Automotive and Performance LLC in Moncks Corner, SC is here when they do; here are some things to watch out for.

There may come a day when you go to shift your vehicle out of “Park”, and the shifter refuses to move.

While this is a serious inconvenience, it doesn’t necessarily indicate a serious problem; let Lowcountry Automotive and Performance LLC in Moncks Corner, SC put your mind at ease.
