Automotive Industry News & Information - Clower Automotive

At Clower Automotive in Manchester, TN we know that your commercial vehicles are a vital part of your business. These vehicles are often more susceptible to damage as well. In order to preserve the life of these vehicles, it's important to get your fleet or commercial vehicles properly maintained.

Unless you are confident in your abilities as an automotive mechanic, there is really only one rule when purchasing a flood-damaged vehicle: don’t do it. Unfortunately, sometimes sellers aren’t particularly straight-forward with their used cars. Many will try to hide the fact that it’s been damaged by floodwaters at all or try to convince potential buyers that the car is in fact fine. “It has gone months with no issues” or “technically it is flood-damaged but” are two red flags, and while it isn’t impossible for a flood car to be fine, it’s altogether a good idea to stay away.

Most people ignore their tires, yet tires are undoubtedly a critical safety component on a vehicle. Here at Clower Automotive in Manchester, TN, we know where the rubber meets the road affects traction, handling, steering, stability, and braking. Because of this, sudden tire failure can have serious consequences, especially if it occurs when operating at high speeds.

If you drive a standard shift vehicle, you probably know your clutch is an important part of your driving experience. Proper maintenance and use of the clutch will dramatically increase its lifespan, saving you a lot of money in the future. Clower Automotive in Manchester explains:

Ron, Cyndi, Travis and Jay are the best! My husband and I took our vehicles to them since 1990s and were satisfied. When my husband passed away we had our Subaru in their shop. They were awesome and became like family to me. I have been able to trust them to check out several used vehicles I needed to purchase for my kids as they began driving. They do a through check and repair any issues whenever I bring each of our vehicles in for maintenance. The peace and confidence they have given me to provide safe dependable transportation for my family is beyond any blessing I could hope for. I trust them and they have always gone above and beyond whenever one of our vehicles have needed service. Cydni always gets the right part for best price. Ron or Jay are the best at diagnostics and repair. Travis is very knowledgeable and has always spoken to me with respect and has never been dismissive or talked down to me (as so many "car guys" tend still to do). If you need a quality repair and honest service, Clower's Automotive is the place to go!
