Rusty Fuel Tank = Rusty Fuel Economy

Are you experiencing lower MPG's on your routine trips? Has your car started stalling? Have you had to replace multiple fuel pumps?

These are all signs of a rusty gas tank. A rusted gas tank can have all of the symptoms above, and can cause more and more harsh issues the longer you run your car with a rusty tank!

Rusting can also cause issues not only in your gas tank, but in everything it connects to, so be sure to get it replaced or fixed as soon as possible. If this rust spreads it can cause greater and greater issues and can even result in fuel leakage.

2013 Dodge Dart: Now Available!

We now have the all new Dodge Dart, and the Dart has certainly been a welcoming new attraction. It's sleek style, the technology inside, and 41mpg are enough to make anyone's head turn. Now Dodge is ramping up advertising with the latest commercial for the Dart aired during the MLB All-Star Game.

DigitalTrends writes:


The Dodge Dart media campaign won’t kick into high gear until September, but that hasn’t stopped Chrysler from giving us a glimpse at this hotly anticipated compact car.


The spot, which is titled “How to Change Cars Forever,” aired last night during the Major League Baseball All-Star Game and kicks off the Dart’s “New Rules” ad campaign.


With the Jay-Z and Kanye West single “No Church in the Wild” bumping in the background, we’re treated to a humor-filled, rapid-fire look at what goes into designing a car from the ground up: apparently lots of coffee and little sleep. There’s even a brief cameo by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for that obligatory celeb tie-in.


“Adding a dose of fun, creative license and Dodge brand humor, [the ad] captures the meticulous process of starting with a simple idea and developing it into a revolutionary new car,” says Olivier Francois, head of marketing for Chrysler Group LLC. “[With the commercial] we wanted to provide a peek inside what it takes to bring a new car to fruition.”

Vehicle Tips: Check Engine Light

So, you're driving down the highway, everything seems smooth... No strange noises, smooth ride, then... The check engine light comes on! With the ability to immediately strike fear in the hearts of drivers everywhere, and leave you wondering how much the problem is going to cost to fix and if you will be able to afford it.

While true that sometimes the check engine light can signal a serious issue with your car, it can also signal much more simple issues with a cheap or free fix. These problems can be anything from a cylinder misfire to your gas cap not being on tight enough and everything in between.

So what can you do about it?

DON'T PANIC! If there doesn't appear to be any initial problems that are overly noticeable, see if there's a simple fix. Try checking for a loose gas cap, check all your fluid levels, and if that doesn't appear to fix it, maybe it's time to see someone about doing something a little more serious.

Get a free diagnostic! Often times car part shops such as Advanced Auto will do a free diagnostics check on your engine and can tell you what the issue is. It may be something you can take care of, or you might need to see a mechanic, but it's worth looking into.

If it is something that requires a mechanic we're here for you! With our body shop you can order parts online 24/7, view service specials, or schedule an appointment online!

10,000 Choices for Your Dart

The Dodge Dart is a newcomer to the game, but an incredible competitor for sports car enthusiasts. Just to add another level of incentives, the Dart comes with 10,000 possible personal choices including color, interior, wheels, dashboards and other. Your Dart can truly be your Dart.

Chrysler Group LLC’s newest compact car will be available in five different basic styles, 12 different exterior colors and up to 14 different interior color schemes, including black and ruby red, and “diesel gray and citrus.” Buyers will pick from up to seven different wheel choices and can get a dashboard they can personalize to show either digital performance data, or virtual analog gauges. 

The array of choices is designed to appeal to drivers in their 20s and 30s, says Richard Cox, director of the Dodge brand. Chrysler, which has long been weak in compact cars, concluded that offering more customization and technology was a way to stand out. 

Rivals including Ford Motor Co., Honda Motor Co. and Hyundai Motor Co. don’t offer anything close to this level of à la carte customization. They are sticking with a model of offering a limited selection of options packages amid a desire to keep costs down and research suggesting many consumers find sifting through complex product decisions a tedious chore. Just like cable customers usually have pay for a bunch of channels to get ESPN or HBO, car buyers typically can’t get, say, a digital infomatics system without fancier, pricier features such as a moonroof.

The Dodge Charger SRT8: A Powerful Contender

The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 is an incredible machine that redefines the way in which we consider power, performance, and style in a car. Sales of the Charger have risen 30% in the U.S. showing that the car holds a special place in the States. Take a look for yourself.

We pull out of Detroit’s Metropolitan airport in a Dodge Charger SRT8 so shiny-apple red that it glistens. The $49,000 sedan has a full tank of gas, 470 horsepower and a trunk big enough for our entire luggage. 

The shape was unlike anything else on the road, with that stubbed nose and bull’s-eye grill, curving roof and squat stance. As identifiable as a bull dog, you only needed to see the car in silhouette. (That’s helpful, as heaps of Chargers are driven as police cruisers, a fact I’ll be reminded of frequently on Michigan roads.)
