Maintaining your car doesn't have to be a hassle, just bring it to our team here at Dave & Wayne Auto Center in Bethlehem. We can take care of all the dirty work. However, it's important to know when you should get proper maintenance. Here are some quick tips and advice on the basics of car maintenance!

No matter what type of fleet vehicles or commercial trucks you maintain, the fuel system on your diesel is an integral part of keeping you on the road. Gas systems are pretty simple - there’s basically just a pump that pushes gasoline to the injectors. Diesels are a bit more complicated.

Leaks and drips that get the interior of your vehicle wet are definitely an inconvenience. Sitting water promotes rust, bad smells, and can ruin your carpet. Furthermore, the water often seems to come from seemingly nowhere, adding to the frustration. From Dave & Wayne Auto Center in Bethlehem, PA, here are some of the leading causes of water on your floor, and what you can do about it.

In today's economic climate, people are working hard to make their dollars go further. Not only are drivers holding onto their vehicles longer, but they're also looking to improve fuel efficiency to get the most gas mileage out of every gallon of gas. You can do both by following a few simple tips from our team here at Dave & Wayne Auto Center!

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.

While keeping your car, truck, or SUV looking nice is important, there are other reasons to keep the exterior of your vehicle in good shape. From Dave & Wayne Auto Center in Bethlehem, PA, here are some tips for keeping your car looking good, and how that keeps it reliably on the road.

Let me start off with this. I have a 2016 Subaru WRX, since I have owned this car the A/C has never been great. Fast forward to 2026, as I stated the A/C would lose it's charge over the period of about 1- 2years. I had the system serviced at 2 different garages that are highly reputable but was never totally satisfied because the same problem happened all over when supposedly it was fixed. 1 garage that charged $300.00 to replace 2 o-rings and recharge the system said that he couldn't guarantee the system was leak proof unless he replaced the whole thing. I did a little research online and came across this garage that I was familiar with from a long time ago, but never really knew how good they are. I stopped by the shop and talked to one of the owners and explained the problem, set up an appointment and they quickly found 2 leaks that the other garages didn't find or bother to look for. The parts were ordered and replaced in a very prompt manor, I started the car and was blown away by how quickly it cooled and how cold it got. It has NEVER been as good as it is now! I think I've found my new go to garage. I am beyond thrilled with how well it works especially with the onset of Summer Weather coming. THANK YOU Dave & Wayne! You have a new return customer.
