Automotive Industry News & Information - ABC Transmission & Auto Care / Auto Body

At ABC Transmission & Auto Care / Auto Body in Atlantic Beach, FL, we know the key to making your vehicle last; good maintenance. An overwhelming percentage of the problems we see, especially the really catastrophic ones, are a result of poor maintenance. While properly maintaining a vehicle can seem like a bit of a hassle, it is absolutely worth the payoff. Good maintenance is the only difference between a car that lasts 80,000 miles and a car that lasts 400,000 miles. Preventative maintenance and repair when a problem occurs are your two concerns, and both will keep your car on the road far longer if observed properly.

I was visiting the Mayport area from out of town and found a screw in one tire causing a slow leak. I tried the big tire places and they wouldn't give me the time of day but then I saw ABC Transmission and Auto Repair, pulled in to their business and was immediately taken care of. They were polite, respectful, and quick on the repair. I visit this area several times a year and will bring my business to them when I have a problem. I highly recommend others do the same.
