We are celebrating 75 years in business! The original owner Harold started this business after World War II in the Spring of 1946. Harold wanted to return to his love of cars and had a vision of a place where he could repair cars and help others as well. With hard work, determination, and sweat, he built the business from the ground up. He repaired everything and anything that had a motor in it! We are proud to still be family-owned and operated as the garage has been passed down to the sons and now to the grandsons. The generational goal of Martin’s Garage has always been to serve our customers with honesty, integrity, and excellent service! Thank you to all of our valued customers that have continued to make this business grow!
Whether you drive a Cummins, Duramax, or Powerstroke diesel truck, there’s a good chance you’re familiar with turbochargers. Over the past couple of decades, turbos have nearly become stock equipment on diesel pickups, and are becoming increasingly common on gas vehicles as well. But what are they, how do they work, and why are they there? Martin's Garage in Shippensburg, PA has the answers.
One of the more annoying issues a car, truck, or SUV will develop is a grinding or scraping sound when you hit the brakes. What is it, and how do you make it stop? At Martin's Garage in Shippensburg, PA we have the answer.
Something will go wrong with your car, truck, or SUV eventually. The important thing is knowing what to do, and how to deal with it. Just knowing what to do in a situation often means the difference between a quick repair and thousands of dollars worth of work. If you see steam coming from under the hood, it’s important to deal with it appropriately and quickly. Here’s what’s going on, and what to do, from Martin's Garage in Shippensburg, PA.
If you drive a performance or luxury vehicle, there are important points to remember in preserving not only your car or SUV, but it's resale value as well. Luxury and performance vehicles depreciate more quickly than other cars. Many who own these cars like to have the newest and the best of the best. In that way, the odds are stacked against you when trying to get a good price for your car. Fortunately, Martin's Garage has some steps you can take to ensure you get the most for your car when it’s time to sell.
Your turbocharger will work in essentially the same way, whether you drive a Powerstroke, Cummins, or Duramax diesel pickup. While there are differences in designs and applications, turbos haven’t changed all that much over the past century. Now that you know what one is made of, we’ll look at how it works.
With temperatures dropping around the country, it’s understandably tempting to let your car or SUV idle to stay warm. At Martin's Garage in Shippensburg, PA, one of our goals is to keep you informed on how to best care for your performance and luxury vehicles.
Whatever type of truck you run in your fleet, they all have a driveshaft that connects the transmission to the differential, transferring power to the wheels.
