Anything NEW with you?

Shawn Gilfillan • June 7, 2023

When it comes to servicing our customers we strive to do the best we can possibly do and always want to go above and beyond. Our core values, STRIVE (Service, Trust, Respect, Integrity, Value and Excellence), play an important role in how we are able to carry out our work and provide the best service possible. Working Magic under your hood is not just a slogan for us, it's our standard operating process. 




Our best practice starts at the very beginning of our relationship with our clients.. Asking important questions and really listening and hearing you, this is nothing NEW to us. 


NEW  Needs, Expectations, and Wants. Understanding these small but important details set us all up for success right from the start.


What are your Automotive Needs?

How do you use your vehicle? Are you using your vehicle to commute to work and run light errands? Does your job require you to be on the road traveling from client to client? Do you work from home and merely use your vehicle for necessities and recreational activities? Do you have a minimal commute but have children that need to be taxi’d to school and sports activities? 


All of these result in very different NEEDS of the client.


Expectations.

What do you expect from your vehicle? Are you leasing and just in need of safety and required services until your lease is up? This vehicle is secondary and requires little attention, but you have basic services performed to keep it ready for the road in a pinch. Are you driving a fairly new vehicle that may need wear and tear parts (ie brakes and tires) and recommended oil change services? Is your car paid off and you want to keep it in the best possible condition to avoid the expense of a new vehicle and payments? These will tell us what your EXPECTATIONS are. 


Do you intend to keep this vehicle running in the best possible shape, in hopes of keeping it forever or passing it down? Do you foresee yourself keeping your vehicle, however do not desire to invest in anything more than necessities and safety items? You understand that maintaining your vehicle is important for performance and extending its life, however now just might not be a good time to make the repair?. Understanding your WANTS makes it clear to us how we address each and every situation. 


We feel that if we have a solid understanding from the very beginning we have set ourselves and you up for the most efficient and effective experience possible. Throughout the process we will continually keep you informed with calls, texts, photos and recommendations. No work will be done without authorized consent. 


When you hand over your keys to us, we want you to feel confident that your NEWs for your vehicle are understood and will be honored. We appreciate you putting your trust in us and we assure you that our talented team of technicians will deliver superior service on your vehicle every step of the way. It’s the Magic touch.


Give us a call, text, or schedule your next appointment appointment.

At Automotive Magic, we’re big believers in staying ahead of problems before they leave you stranded—or worse. One of the most important (but often overlooked) safety checks you can do is right under your car: your tires. Whether you’re preparing for a long road trip or just running errands, the condition and age of your tires directly impact your vehicle’s safety and performance. Here’s what you need to know to drive with confidence.

Summer is all about adventure — beach days, weekend getaways, long road trips to places you've been dreaming of all winter. But nothing puts a damper on those big family plans faster than a surprise car issue an hour into the drive. The good news? A quick pre-trip check can go a long way toward keeping everyone safe, stress-free, and focused on the fun ahead. Whether you’re a seasoned road tripper or just heading to the grandparents’ for a long weekend, here’s a simple, smart checklist to help make sure your vehicle is ready to roll. Before You Pull Out of the Driveway, Take a Few Minutes to Check: Your Tires Tires are one of the easiest things to overlook — until something goes wrong. Make sure all four (plus the spare!) are properly inflated. Check your owner’s manual or the sticker inside the driver’s door for the right pressure. Do the “quarter test” for tread depth — stick a quarter into the tread with Washington’s head down. If you can see the top of his head, it’s time for new tires. Look for any visible cracks, bulges, or uneven wear. That kind of damage is a warning sign worth listening to. Well-maintained tires mean better handling, better gas mileage, and a whole lot less stress on the road. Windshield Wipers & Washer Fluid Is there anything more annoying than trying to see through a streaky windshield while your kids are arguing about snacks in the back? ✔️ If your wipers squeak, skip, or smear, it’s time for a new set. ✔️ Top off your washer fluid so you can clear away bugs, pollen, or sudden summer showers with ease. Visibility matters — especially when driving in unfamiliar places or late at night. All the Fluids (Yes, More Than Just Oil) Your vehicle needs more than fuel to function safely. Give these a quick look: Engine oil – clean and at the right level? Coolant – helps prevent overheating on hot summer drives Brake fluid – vital for safe stopping Transmission fluid Windshield washer fluid – yes, again! It’s worth repeating. Don’t stress if you're not sure what you’re looking at — a trusted shop can give these a once-over in minutes. Battery/Alternator Health You don’t want to find out your battery’s on its last leg in the middle of a scenic overlook. Is your car slow to start lately? That’s a sign. Check for corrosion around the terminals. If it’s more than 3 years old, it’s a good idea to have it tested before the trip. A strong alternator keeps everything running — including the air conditioning, charging ports, and navigation. Lights & Signals It's easy to miss a burnt-out bulb, but other drivers rely on your lights to predict what you're doing. Test your headlights (low and high beams), brake lights, turn signals, license plate lights, and hazard lights. Have someone help or do a quick walk-around with your lights on. It’s a fast check that makes a big safety difference, especially when traveling unfamiliar roads. Pack These — Just in Case Even with the best prep, things happen. Having these on hand keeps you ready for whatever the road throws your way: Jumper cables A portable tire inflator Tire pressure gauge Flashlight and extra batteries First aid kit Bottled water and extra snacks Charging cords Blanket or travel towel (multi-use lifesaver!) Pro Tip: Book a Pre-Trip Inspection Want total peace of mind? Bring your car over to Automotive Magic for a quick pre-trip inspection. A professional can check your brakes, alignment, belts, hoses, and everything else you might not have time (or desire) to inspect yourself. It’s fast, affordable, and worth it. We recommend scheduling your appointment a week in advance to make sure any repairs will be done in time for your trip! You’ve packed the bags, planned the route, and made a solid snack strategy — don’t let a simple car issue sideline your trip. A little preparation today means fewer surprises tomorrow and a lot more time for family fun, scenic photos, and unforgettable memories! Happy travels — and here’s to making memories (not emergency stops)!

Hot Summer Month = Coolant Issues
June 6, 2025
When your vehicle is properly aligned, driving feels smooth, steering is effortless, and your tires wear evenly. But when something’s off—literally—your vehicle will start to give you hints. Alignment issues might seem minor at first, but ignoring them can lead to bigger problems, like accelerated tire wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and even unsafe driving conditions. At Automotive Magic, we believe in catching small problems before they become big ones. Here are the key signs that your alignment may need professional attention:
