I brought my son's truck in for what was thought to be alignment issues and after a thorough diagnosis, it was found to need a bit more work than just an alignment to make it safe to drive. John was very upfront about what was needed and I felt like he didn't add things in that weren't. They were able to get the parts and repairs done in just a few days and kept me updated through the whole process.

Eventually, the time comes to replace your car, truck, or SUV. Often, you’ll decide to go used to save some money. This can either be a great financial decision, but it takes a little more groundwork to make sure you’re getting a good deal and a reliable vehicle. From researching, to test driving, to inspecting a used vehicle, Birch's Automotive & Muffler in Arlington, TN has a few tips to help you get there.

If there’s an issue with your diesel fuel system, the most important thing to remember is to fix it sooner rather than later. With gas engines, you can often power through a fuel issue for quite some time - they’re irritating, but not often permanently damaging. Diesel systems are a little more important, and parts rely heavily on one another to avoid damage and keep working properly, as well as maintenance and repair from professional technicians.
