MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 

Christmas is upon us!! The cold weather is here!! If anyone is looking for a gift idea for me, I would like either a used Destroyer or Frigate. I would also take one of those failed LCS ships with the combining drive gear issue. We then can be pirates!! Kidding aside, we want to wish all of our customers a Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukah!!
Now we are getting into the chill of winter, a few tips to help deal with the issues it can bring.
Get some silicone spray and wipe your door gaskets with it. It will help keep the doors from freezing shut.
Keep your dash clear so the defroster can work properly.
Keep your fuel tank above half as mush as possible.
Washer fluid, there are many types out there, make sure the one you use has at least a -20 degree freeze point.
Tires, keep inflated to recommended pressures, now many tires have a maximum pressure, to find the correct pressure, involves a little math so best base is to take max pressure and subtract about 4 to 6 lbs. The spec on the door tag is for ride comfort, not MPG or tire life.
Be safe driving when it gets nasty, reduce your speed as needed and keep a following distance a bit more in length. Do not become totally trusting of traction control and ABS systems. Best advice is to find a large parking lot when it is snow covered, go about 35 mph and slam the brake on, the ABS will engage and get used to the process, the other thing, with ABS, you can turn to avoid what caused you to go into ABS in the first place.
The best thing is called COMMON SENSE, use it, if you do not have to be out and about, stay home and drink an Irish Coffee. We want all of our customers to be safe and have a happy holiday season this year. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

TWENTY YEARS!! 

Back in 2004, my wife and I became the owners of Taney Service Center. With Jerry Fair as our only technician. We worked hard. Being outsiders, not from Taneytown, we were a bit afraid that we would not be accepted. But, Jerry knew just about everyone that walked in our door. His family has been in Taneytown for a long time. "Booty" Fair was a name many knew. The Fair Boys as Jerry and Kenny were known, grew up and never left the roots of Taneytown. Now here it is, 20 years down the road, I can say that we now have our roots in Taneytown. Never in my life did I ever think I would be living in a place called Taneytown. It has been one of the best moves in my live. The people in this community are great and we all here at Taney Service Center thank our customers for being a part of our lives and helping us grow.

CASH DISCOUNT!!!

THE WAR ON CASH IS REAL!! Notice the increase in “self checkout” at places? People using cash are being shunned, made to feel less of a person because they choose to use cash. Never seen cash get hacked!!
To help counter this and to make people feel proud to use cash, we will be offering a discount of 5% for paying your bill with cash.  That is right!! 5% off for using real honest US currency!! 
 
 

Mice make money?

Those cute little rodents! They chewed the fuel line on top of the fuel tank. Had to remove exhaust, drive shaft and the entire rear end and frame to lower the fuel tank. Mr. Mouse cost the customer a little over $1300.00 to repair. They also chewed up the washer bottle hose to the windshield, guess they wanted to wash out the gasoline from their mouths. A little Cayenne pepper sprinkled around under the hood and where you park could help prevent this. Be sure to get all your fuel and brake lines checked when your vehicle is in for service. Be observant if you see any droppings under the hood or notice the ketchup packets in the glove box are chewed up, you may have mice. They also enjoy the wiring on newer vehicles as the insulation around the wires is made with a SOY based plastic. Yum!
