There are a lot of drivers on the road today with improperly adjusted rearview mirrors, contributing to unnecessary blind spots and potentially hazardous driving conditions. At Royson's Automotive in Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia, we place a lot of value on efficiency; here’s how to get the most out of your mirrors.
Your drive belts run everything - your AC, power steering, alternator, and water pump are all dependent on the belts that turn them. At Royson's Automotive in Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia, our goal is to keep your truck maintained, so you’re never stuck out on the road. Drive belts are a critical part of that goal.
If your car has climate control, then it also has a cabin filter. Cabin filters are simply air filters for the interior of your car, truck, or SUV. All air entering circulation through the climate control system first passes through this filter, to prevent your AC or heat systems from accumulating debris or blowing them out of your vents. The result is cleaner, quieter, and longer-lasting climate control systems, which keep the inside of your car as comfortable as possible.
Does your car, truck, or SUV shift at the wrong moment? Royson's Automotive in Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia has the solution. Shift point issues can manifest themselves in two ways; either your car will rapidly shift through several or all the gears at low speed, low rpm, getting to the highest gear before you’ve gained enough momentum, or shifts will be delayed, the transmission refusing to shift until far into the RPM range.
Good gas mileage is something we all want. In fact, many drivers purchase certain cars solely for gas mileage, and almost all of us at least take it into consideration when purchasing a vehicle.

The tips Royson's Automotive in Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia want to provide you here are simple and effective steps you can take to increase your gas mileage, often more considerably than you think.
Your Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN, is essentially your car’s fingerprint. In its entirety, it is specific only to your car. Each car has its own unique VIN number and can be decoded to provide manufacturing and identification information on any vehicle on the road. Date of manufacture, manufacturer, vehicle type, where it was made, and options such as engine and transmission type, whether a car is a two or four-door, and a multitude of other specifications can be gleaned from a VIN number. Essentially, a VIN number will tell you exactly what a car is and where it came from, without even having to see the car.
One of the more annoying issues a car, truck, or SUV will develop is a grinding or scraping sound when you hit the brakes. What is it, and how do you make it stop? At Royson's Automotive in Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia, SC we have the answer.
