I called and asked for a quote to possibly replace a headlamp because Hyundai wanted to charge $200 just to look at the car. I arrived and within 10 minutes bulb was replaced and only charged 5% of what Hyundai was charging, just to look at the car...Awesome service and honest..hard to find these days!

Your vehicle configuration determines how it should be properly towed to avoid transmission damage. Specifically, it matters if your vehicle is front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive and whether it’s an automatic or a manual.

It’s easier than ever to keep your fleet running smoothly for thousands of miles. If a vehicle has less than 50,000 miles on it today, chances are it still has 75 percent of its driving life ahead of it. That’s good news if you’re a company managing a fleet of vehicles. It wasn’t that long ago that hitting the 100,000-mile mark on the odometer was a major milestone. Today, vehicles are built to last. With the proper maintenance and attention, there’s no reason you shouldn’t expect to see that 50,000-mile reading on the odometer one day roll right past 200,000 and keep ongoing. Here at Cecil's Automotive, we're going to give you some tips on how to make that happen!
