What’s a car you love but don’t want to own, and why?

Car batteries are often taken for granted until they simply stop working, and usually at the worst time. A dead battery can be an inconvenience at best and, at worst, may leave you stranded somewhere. That’s why it’s important to know when to replace your car battery. They typically only last between 3-5 years, and warning signs of a dying battery include: - Engine is slow to start - Check engine light is on - Dim headlights - Electrical problems - Corroded battery terminals

"Always fair, always professional, always trustworthy. I've been bringing my vehicles to Dave and Crew for years and they never disappoint. Bonus is the truck came back better looking than when I brought it in for repair. Great job AE crew! Thanks." - R. G.

Have an amazing weekend!!
