Visiting family in the Fentress Airfield area this weekend and noticed a nail in the right front tire. I called Taylor Automotive, and they said they could work it in this afternoon. The technician checked and found just a short piece of a screw in the tire that hadn’t gone all the way through. I was on my way in no time thanks to the courteous professionals at Taylor Automotive!

Here at Taylor Automotive Service in Chesapeake we often do diagnostics and sometimes the problem is obvious after hooking the car up to the computer and reading the codes. However, sometimes it isn't obvious during a test drive or after hooking it up to all those computer programs! You know there is a problem and a Check Engine Light is on with the fleet customer telling you the car has been having issues starting and the light has been going off and on depending on several factors. No pattern, no simple answer but the problem becomes obvious when you start following the "threads of the issue" thanks to all that ASE Technician training.

Failed engine mounts are an irritating issue to live with causing your car or truck to vibrate and you don't know why. At Taylor Automotive Service in Chesapeake, VA, we can help, no matter what type of car, truck, or SUV you drive and it is an easy issue to detect on a test drive.
There are a few indicators your engine mounts need to be replaced. For one, you can do a visual inspection, if they’re accessible enough - if they looked cracked, smashed, or dry-rotted, it’s probably time for new ones. If the engine visibly shakes while it’s running, engine mounts are also likely the culprit. However, if you are like most drivers you simply get in and drive on down the road until something is different or a light comes on! Then you call our shop for help!
