Here’s a look at someone saying goodbye– a love letter to a dying car:   My Dearest Pathfinder,   I’m in the waiting room of the auto repair shop right now, and my mechanic seems to be preparing me for the worst news. So I’m sitting here, thinking about a future without you, thinking about that last pass I’ll have to make to collect all the items that are still inside you before I get a ride home and they take you away for scrap.   I don’t know when I stopped paying attention. But at some point, I did. Maybe it was because you were so reliable, so dependable. But it’s clear to me that I took you for granted. When money got a little tight, I worried and I didn’t ... read more

These are fast times in many industries, and especially in the automotive industry. Changes are in motion, and soon, all the rules will change– forever reshaping the American highway.   California is certainly at the center of it all.

Remember when COVID began in 2020, and there was a shortage of toilet paper? Well, the supply chain eventually worked itself out, and we finally got what we needed. However, the dominoes of the global pandemic continue to fall, including delays in getting the parts we need to repair vehicles. For the supply shortage to be less scary, here’s what we recommend.
