What Is A Pitman Arm

July 1, 2021

Pitman Arm | Automotive Blessings 2 Marietta

A Pitman Arm is the first link of any steering system that connects the Steering Gear Box to the Steering Wheel and Steering Linkages. One sign of a bad Pitman Arm is play in the Steering Wheel. If not replaced other Steering Components will begin to wear out. The Steering of the vehicle will become sloppy. Maintaining control will get harder as the vehicle will go where it wants instead of where you want.

What is the Purpose for a Pitman Arm?

Pitman Arms are used on any vehicle that has a Gear Box, not a Rack And Pinion Steering System. After replacement of the Pitman Arm the vehicle will require a Wheel Alignment. If you notice that the Steering Wheel in your vehicle turns before the vehicle does then bring it in for a check of the Steering Components. Call Automotive Blessings 770-575-0400.

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
