The Importance Of Customer Reviews For A Small Service Business

The Importance Of Customer Reviews For A Small Service Business

As the owner/operator of Milex Complete Auto Care / Mr. Transmission in Cary, North Carolina, I understand the importance of Customer service and building a reputation on trust and honesty. The triangle area is a highly tech savvy area where people are very comfortable with using the internet and social media to gather information to assist in their buying decisions. With smart phone technology, information is always at your fingertips, literally. You can see what business you are around and connect to their website in a couple of clicks or even just by speaking your request into your device. With all this information available to you practically instantly, business reviews have become a very important part of a business’s identity.

Signs That It Is Time to Replace Your Battery

Signs That It Is Time to Replace Your Battery

  Let’s just call it what it is, someday, your car battery is going to die. Many batteries will not make it through this winter because batteries are stressed in temperature extremes and with the weather turning cold battery issues will start to occur. If your battery does fail and you’re lucky, it won’t happen to you when you’re in some random parking lot miles from home or worse.  The truth is the factory battery that your vehicle came with is made to last long enough to sell the car. Which can mean only 6 months to 1 year. Fortunately, the car battery isn’t likely to die when you’re driving; the alternator keeps the vehicle functioning and operating. Of course, if something goes wrong with the alternator, you could wind up on the side of the road. But let’s stay on subject. Don’t be caught by surprise with a battery failure. These are things to look for that will alert you when it’s time to change your battery. If be ... read more

How to Prepare Your Car for Winter

How to Prepare Your Car for Winter

Hopefully, in our area, we don't get any weather like that in the photo above, but the weather is turning colder which means winter is just around the corner, which can be an enemy for our vehicles.  Cold temperatures, snow, sleet and ice can cause problems on how a car operates and drives on the road. Not having your car prepared for the winter can be potentially harmful to you, as well as others on the road.  So, if your car isn’t winterized yet, it’s time to get your car prepared. Think about your battery. Freezing temperatures can reduce a battery’s operating power by up to 50 percent and during the winter, when you have the heat on, the defroster going and maybe the windshield wipers, you’ll want your car to be operating as well as possible. You’ll also want to keep track of your battery’s age, so that you don’t wind up stuck somewhere in the cold.  Batteries have a life span of no more than three ... read more

October Is Fall Car Care Month

October Is Fall Car Care Month

As the calendar turns to October and the start of fall is upon us, now is a good reminder that October is Fall Car Care Month. October is a good time to assess the condition of your car and determine if it needs maintenance.  It’s been through a long summer with continued exposure to the hot weather, and maybe a long trip or two mixed in.  Now is the time to take your car in for any work that may need to be done before the winter weather arrives.  It feels a long way off right now, but  the Farmer’s Almanac is predicting that two-thirds of the country will encounter a colder-than-normal winter season. With that in mind, October’s a good time to get your car inspected at Milex Complete Auto Care / Mr. Transmission of Cary before the winter weather and holiday ... read more

It’s easy to tell when your car is getting old on the outside. The paint starts to get dull, your headlights aren’t as bright, and you might have a few scratches here and there.

What You Need To Know About Oil Changes

What You Need To Know About Oil Changes

One of the easiest and least expensive ways to keep your car running smoothly and, on the road longer, is to change the engine oil regularly. Oil changes done at Milex Complete Auto Care / Mr. Transmission of Cary are one of the most important things you can do for your car’s engine. It is also one of the simplest steps you can take to save yourself money in the long run. Why should you change the oil? The oil does a vital job. It lubricates the parts of the engine while keeping it clean. The oil grabs all the dirt, dust, carbon, fuel and even water that is in your engine. All those things would otherwise cause damage to parts through wear and corrosion. The oil filter helps to filter out these solid contaminants to allow the oil to last longer. But the filter and the oil have limits on how much contamination they can hold. The filter once full of contamination will go into bypass and will stop filtering. &nb ... read more

Don’t Pinch Pennies on Car Maintenance

Don’t Pinch Pennies on Car Maintenance

You’ve probably heard the expression, “Pay me now or pay me later.” I’m not sure of the origin of this phrase but in 1972 Fram Oil Filters used this phrase in a series of television commercials talking about their oil filters. The actor starts by holding up a Fram Oil Filter and says, “You can pay me now,” then holds up a piston and says, “or, you can pay me later”.  The lesson being, saving money on the little things can cost you big later on. This can be especially true when it comes to keeping your car running. Pinching pennies on your car maintenance can cost you dearly in the long run. Other than your home, your car is one of your biggest investments. Drivers are paying more than ever for vehicles these days and they expect them to last longer than ever. According to the most recent ... read more
