Friday Fails- The Dealership

This Friday Fail is brought to you by The Dealership.

We hear it all the time, the dealership is the best place to take your car for repair. Well here I will show you that that is not true. The customer bought the car new, had the free oil changes and service package that they sell or give you and was faithful to the dealership. When the package expired it came to us. Our first visit with this customer and this car was not what we would have expected.

Picture one is a coolant leak, not a new but an old leak that was still active. Picture 2 is an oil leak, same story still active, and picture 3 is a stripe oil drain plug. NONE of this was brought to the customer's attention. Why? I don't know can only guess as to why, so I will.

1) The guys doing the job are not skilled enough to know that this is a problem.

2) The guys doing the job did not have the skill to repair the problem.

3) The guys doing the job did not want to do the repair since it would have been a warranty job and they don’t pay well.

Any of these 3 are the only reasons that the customer would not know about the problems. So the next time you bring your car to The Dealership ask yourself, Are they trained, Do they know, and Do they care? At Automotive Blessing we are all 3 rolled into one. You may not like what we say but you will at least get told and can make your own decision on how you want to have your vehicle repaired.

The Job of Struts and Shocks

The Job of Struts and Shocks

Fleet Management at Automotive Blessings

January 23, 2026

Managing a fleet of vehicles is more than scheduling oil changes and fixing breakdowns. It’s about reliability, safety, cost control, and minimizing downtime. Whether your fleet consists of service vans, sales vehicles, delivery cars, or light-duty trucks (1-ton and under), the right repair partner can make or break your operation. At Automotive Blessings, we work with fleet managers who need a shop that understands the business side of vehicle maintenance, not just the mechanical side. Here's what professional fleet service should really look like.

Why Checking Your Tires Regularly Matters

By Charlie Frederic • January 15, 2026

Your tires are one of the most important safety components on your vehicle, yet they’re often the most overlooked. Regularly checking your tires helps protect your safety, improves vehicle performance, and can save you money by catching problems early. Tires affect how your car steers, stops, and handles the road especially in wet or slippery conditions. Checking your tires doesn’t require special tools or mechanical knowledge. Tread depth, tire pressure, wear patterns, and visible damage all tell a story about your vehicle’s condition. Ignoring tire problems can lead to poor traction, longer stopping distances, uneven wear, and even blowouts. On the other hand, catching tire issues early can extend tire life and help prevent suspension and alignment problems. At Automotive Blessings , tire checks are part of how we help customers stay safe and informed. Whether it’s during routine maintenance or a specific concern, we believe understanding your tires helps you make better decisions for your vehicle. Make it a habit — Let Automotive Blessings help the life of your tires today! 📍 Automotive Blessings 📍 840 Shallowford Rd, Kennesaw, GA 30144 📍 770-585-0400 www.automotiveblessings.com
