Automotive News & Information - TAG Automotive Repair

At TAG Automotive Repair in Flagstaff, we know how irritating an issue with your car, truck, or SUV can be, even if it doesn’t immediately affect your vehicle’s performance. One such problematic issue, the excessively loud radiator cooling fan, is a common plague many automobile owners will experience.

Your radiator hoses are under a lot of pressure, in both the figurative and literal sense. From TAG Automotive Repair in Flagstaff, AZ, here’s what you need to know about the radiator hoses on your car, truck, or SUV.

If your car has climate control, then it also has a cabin filter. Cabin filters are simply air filters for the interior of your car, truck, or SUV. All air entering circulation through the climate control system first passes through this filter, to prevent your AC or heat systems from accumulating debris or blowing them out of your vents. The result is cleaner, quieter, and longer-lasting climate control systems, which keep the inside of your car as comfortable as possible.

At TAG Automotive Repair in Flagstaff, AZ, we know how annoying a dead battery can be. Here’s some information on the subject, that will hopefully help you understand your battery issues a little better.

Tag automotive is a life saver, literally. I was moving from Washington state and heard a grinding noise in the rear of my car. I was concerned about driving it any farther. I stayed overnight in Flagstaff and the next morning I went to Tag Automotive from a recommendation from a friend. Gene and the guys took my car for a test drive and diagnosed a bad wheel bearing, and they had the necessary parts. My car was fixed within two hours and the charges were so very reasonable. Tag Automotive is the finest example of customer service. I would drive from Phoenix to have them service my car as they are honest, knowledgeable and so efficient. Thanks, guys, for taking such great care of us !!

Judging by the number of near-rear-endings we witness on our morning commutes, the typical attitude toward brake maintenance appears to be, “Brakes: Don’t let them stop you!” This puzzles us because monitoring your braking system’s health is one of the most straightforward aspects of car ownership. You do have to know what to look for, though, or rather, what to listen and feel for. So let us, uh, break it down for you. Here are the top three signs that your brakes need fixing.
