Lady with car hood up - steam rising

Sometimes it is EASY to see if your car or truck needs to come into our shop for professional repairs! 
1.  You see steam rising from the engine!
2.  The Check Engine Light is on!
3.  The engine starts, but there is an odor that is not right.
4.  You hear grinding or thumping noises.

hole in 4x4 diesel truck tire

When your light comes on, it is ALWAYS important to look at the issue to see if it is a problem.  Especially if it is a light we all understand.  Tire pressure is one we all can relate to and an easy one to look at.  However, most drivers just assume the air is low in them and ignore it which is not a good idea especially when you are driving a 4x4 diesel truck off-roading and could have picked up anything and/or everything like this truck tire did. 

He looked, and immediately headed over to see our technicians here at Martin's Garage.  

Transmission Cut to show you the inside of it

Nothing works if your transmission doesn't work!  Simply put you are going nowhere without it and it is the one thing that both car and truck drivers alike never think twice about until it really acts up or they have no power or simply don't move forward.  Most of us have a newer car or truck with an automatic transmission in it vs. a standard transmission so do not notice that it is slipping gears until the problem is really serious so the question is how do you get the most out of your transmission?  The obvious answer is to take care of your transmission with scheduled service per your owner's manual recommendation but we have put together a simple checklist for our Shippensburg drivers to help them become "transmission aware" as it were.

At Martin's Garage, our technicians have the right knowledge, ability, and equipment necessary to keep your car or SUV in top-notch condition.

Honestly, it's a great shop that gets the work done in a good amount of time. My dad always takes his vehicles there and the same with myself. They're just all-around a good trustworthy shop doing anything from a simple service or inspection to taking out a transmission and rebuilding it. - Cameron L (5 star review found on Google)

Not too many shops repair manual transmissions any longer. They accepted the job and the transmission was available when they said it would be finished. Great guys to deal with. They will be getting more of my work from here on out! - Jason W (5 star review found on Google)

Fast, friendly and honest service! Everyone was great, starting with a phone call to get in, a mechanic that serviced and checkout - was in and out in time to pick up my son from preschool! Much appreciated, I am very happy we found you guys :-) - Lori M (5 star review found on Google)

If I could give this place more stars I would. Martin's Garage provided high-quality customer service, fair prices, kindness, a family-friendly environment and made me feel right at home. After telling me what the issue was they went above and beyond and brought me into the show to show me first hand what the problem was and explained it's purpose and why it needed to be survived. I never for a second felt as though they were trying to swindle me for a quick buck. I felt like I could completely trust them with my vehicle and with my best interest. I will definitely be going back for many years to come and I highly suggest that if you are reading this you need to get over there and give them a try. - Trenton K (5 star review found on Google)
