Auto Craftsmen offering ‘Green Auto Detailing Service’ in Vermont

Auto Craftsmen is so excited that they finally found a quality non-toxic commercial grade cleaner that that has passed our stringent seal of approval. We have tested many green products , but have not been happy with the quality of cleaning that they provided… that is until we found ES71 Super H202 CLEANER / DEGREASER made by Enviro-Solutions. This product does a good job, and for the chemically sensitive, does not leave behind that soapy, chemical smell that most cleaning products do. It does not equal the cleaning strength of our regular cleaning products, but it does a darn good job – one that we can stand behind and that will “WOW” someone who could not otherwise have their vehicle cleaned. So now we are able to offer our clients a choice of two types of cleaning products: 1. Super Duty2. Green and Clean E ... read more

Auto Detailing – SUPER SPECIAL!

“It Only Happens Once Every Thousand Years” – this year’s October 10th- 10/10/2010 We thought this was soooo cool, we decided to have some fun with the Number10 and run a special that would be truly special! With the cold temperatures headed our way, and windows being rolled up… and you being ‘stuck’ sitting in your summer debris, It’s a GREAT idea to get your vehicle cleaned on the inside. Rain and sleet, snow and ice, salt and sand, will be attacking the outside of your vehicle…. It’s a GREAT idea to get a good wax coating to protect the outside! Be one of the 1st ten callers (223-2253) and book a Complete Detail with any Service or Repair: Starting at only $110.10 A Complete Detail usually starts at $199.74 If you act quickly you can save ... read more

OMG – MY TIMING BELT BROKE

OMG – MY TIMING BELT BROKE

DON’T BE THIS PERSON? Her auto technician told her 3xs that she should get the timing belt changed on her 2002 PT Cruiser. But she kept putting it off – because she did not want to spend the money. While driving to work – the timing belt broke… and because this vehicle has an interference engine, the engine is probably toast. The vehicle got towed to Auto Craftsmen. The only way to find out if the engine survived is to put a new timing belt on the engine (approx. a five hour job). It is will either be OK – or not Ok – It’s about a $500 gamble! So Sad!

Smart Jumper Cables!

Smart Jumper Cables!

Today’s cars are very complex. If the battery of your car dies – you want to be very careful how you get it started up. Here are 4 different ways you can charge the battery to get your car rolling down the road again. 1. Slowly charge the battery by using a battery charger. 2. Use a booster pack to jump the battery. 3. Call an expert mobile service to jump the battery. 4. If you must use jumper cables then I highly suggest you invest in MICHELIN’S Smart Jumper Cables™. If you hook up ordinary jumper cables incorrectly it can result in sparking or shorting which could seriously hurt you. This could also produce a power surge that could kill your car’s expensive electrical system. I like to call modern cars – Computers on Wheels. And we all know that computers hate power surges. This is why I highly recommend MICHELIN’S new Smart J ... read more
