Automotive News & Information - Bennett's Auto Repair

Manual transmissions have been around for a long time and if you have ever driven a manual you know how exciting they can be. Manual transmissions have also been referred to as standard transmissions, stick shifts, manual gearbox, or a simple gearbox. No matter what you call it, manual transmissions are fun to drive, better on fuel, reliable, and somewhat safer. So what do you know about manual transmissions; where did they come from, and how do they work? Bennett's Auto Repair in Seffner, FL knows, and now you will too.

Gauges are your first, and often only, line of defense in catching a major problem before it’s too late. At Bennett's Auto Repair in Seffner, we know that sometimes a faulty gauge is overlooked when the truck is still running fine and there’s a busy day ahead. However, gauges are extremely important, and are typically easy to repair.

Do you have a noisy vehicle? If so, you may need a new muffler or exhaust system from our team here at Bennett's Auto Repair in Seffner. The purpose of your exhaust system is not only to reduce the noise but also to redirect fumes away from your vehicle. Redirecting these fumes protects passengers in the car from toxins created by burning fuel.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless chemical that can escape from an unsecured exhaust system, and if inhaled can pose very serious health hazards. If you experience an unusually loud sound coming from your vehicle, it is vital to get your exhaust system checked immediately!

While diesel engines have become more common in trucks and certain cars, overwhelmingly the most common car, truck, and SUV powerhouse found on the road today is the gasoline combustion engine. At Bennett's Auto Repair in Seffner, our technicians are skilled in every aspect of gasoline engine maintenance and repair, to keep yours reliably on the road and running strong.

Took my 2003 Honda Civic in because a friend recommended them. I thought my car was beyond repairing. He looked it over and told me what needed to be done. It was worth saving! Never has it ran better. Will continue to bring my car there.

Your drive belts are simple but integral components to the function of your car, truck, or SUV. At Bennett's Auto Repair in Seffner, belts are one of the first things we assess when looking over a vehicle, as they alone are in charge of operating your AC, water pump, alternator, and power steering.

Inspecting wear and tear items on any commercial truck is a great way to make sure you stay reliably on the road. With a trained eye, a variety of issues can easily be caught before trouble arises, saving you critical time and a lot of money in the process. At Bennett's Auto Repair in Seffner, one of our top priorities is preventative maintenance, and noticing a problem before it becomes a bigger one.

Commercial trucks have heavy engines, and they spend a lot of time running, particularly at idle. As a result, the mounts that secure the engine to chassis of the truck have a tendency to wear out, causing all sorts of shaking and vibration that the driver will feel in the cab of the truck. At Bennett's Auto Repair in Seffner, we can take care of that for you.
