Common Auto Body Damage

For most people, a car is a second-largest purchase after their home. You will want to keep your car in top shape as it is a huge investment with many benefits. Unfortunately, no matter how much you take care of your car, your car will suffer physical damage.

Common types of bodywork damage include paint scratches, collision damage, dings and dents, weather damage, windshield damage, and rear-end damage. Minor or major damage to your body affects the overall look of your car.

Cold Facts About A/C Refrigerant

Your vehicles’ A/C system requires the use of a toxic gas we routinely call “Freon.” Decades ago, all vehicles used R12 Freon. More recently, a safer form came out called Freon R134a.

It’s this gas that delivers the clod charge to the air inside your vehicle and cools the interior.
