If you drive a car, truck, or SUV that runs on gasoline, there's a good chance you’ve run it low on fuel a few times (or more than a few times,) and maybe even run out of gas completely a time or two. At ABC Transmission & Auto Care / Auto Body in Atlantic Beach, FL, we like to provide information applicable to you. Running a vehicle low on fuel is something we’re all guilty of, and most of us don’t think twice about it. But, can it be bad for your car?

I didn't even pay a physical visit to ABC's facility but John, the owner, gave me the exceptional service of good-hearted advice to minimize my expenditure by starting in the proper order of my vehicle's problem. I called under the impression I needed a starter and potentially a battery. My impression would have been a more fruitful reward to the business of ABC if reciprocated with labor and two parts, but John advised that I begin with the battery on my own if I could. John's advice saved me a trip and a higher tab. Now I'll be sure to pay a visit when I actually need to!
