Have you checked your brakes lately? I know you expect them to stop your car or truck when you step on that brake pedal, but when they don't work as expected it's too late and then you have an accident with damage to your vehicle but more importantly to the people inside your car and those on the road who may be in your path.
Let's avoid that issue! Test your brakes by lightly tapping them in different situations when the roads are both wet and dry. If your vehicle is pulling to one side, your brake pedal pulses up and down or the steering wheel shakes when the brakes are applied, you are very much overdue for a brake check. Getting in early will save you money as it is always easier to fix a problem before it becomes a huge issue and your brakes are gone requiring new brakes, pads, rotars, and drums.
When in doubt stop by our shop and have one of our professional automotive repair technicians take a look. Don't wait until it's too late to solve these problems and let us help you stay safe on the road! After all, that is the reason we raise these garage doors every day and open these tool boxes. We love what we do and want to ensure our drivers can stay on the roads longer with their vehicles safer and more cost efficiently.
How often should you get your transmission fluid changed? The transmission industry's standard is 25,000 to 30,000 miles or every two years. If you tow a trailer, 15,000 to 20,000 miles is recommended depending on the amount of towing. Motorhomes can vary with the amount that they are driven. The best thing that you can do is check the fluid regularly; notice the color, odor and level of the fluid. If you notice a change in the color, odor or level, have it checked by one of our trained technicians.
What type of fluid should you use? The suggested fluids differ from one manufacturer to another and you can check the owner's manual to ensure the correct transmission fluid is utilized per your specific auto or truck make and model. However, here our technicians have a computer program that will insure the right fluid goes into your transmission. We offer a full line of transmission fluids to cover all the various demands of any car or truck.

If you are in the Tyler area and need car work done, go and see Ken at Anderson Automotive. Honest, fair and good work! I even called him today to get advice about repair work needed on my car, even though I am in DFW now. He gave me great advice, even though he will not profit from it at all. Great guy!

I do not live in Tyler, but live an hour from there and was in town for my mothers Dr. appointment. After leaving in the pouring rain, I realized there was a small kitten somewhere under my car. I pulled into Anderson's and spoke with Ken the owner, who thought it was in the trim of the wheel well and could get it out. We waited in the waiting room for about 15- 20 minutes for them to pull off the wheel and trim and find the kitten. While waiting I could hear the interaction with customers he spoke with on the phone and sounded like a great business man. He would not take any money for helping me and so I gave his employee the money. He said this happens more than you would think. Any business man who is this kind and helps others for no money I feel like you can trust with your car and I will sure use him if I ever have car trouble in Tyler. I am also a business owner for 31 years and can usually spot an honest business. Thanks again Ken for a wonderful gesture of kindness.

I drove from Hideaway to East Loop 323 for repair on my car and saved $$$'s compared to Dealer. Ken and his employees have always provided outstanding service at a reasonable price.
