Should I set my parking brake?
Posted on 1/3/2020
It's never a bad idea to set your parking brake, especially if you drive a car with a manual transmission. If you drive an automatic it's not necessary unless you are parking on a hill. Then you should always set the parking brake prior to putting your car in park. This takes some of the weight off the parking pawl on the transmission and prevents damage. That big clunk that you hear when you shift your car into reverse or drive after sitting on a hill, that's not a good sound and over time will wear out your parking pawl and eventually it could break.
Give us a call and let us take care of you.

An oil leak can be dangerous
Gear oil is important lubrication
This is repair that should not be put off.
It's a mechanical failure
Alternator should not make noise
A plugged exhaust is an issue for your engine.
This can cause bigger issues with your engine
This could be causing your run-ability issues
They should be replaced on time.
A brake fluid leak is very bad.
