Your Dodge, Ford, or Chevy diesel pickup will rarely quit on you all of a sudden, with no warning. Chances are, your truck has been trying to tell you there’s an issue for a while - here’s what to watch out for, from Royson's Automotive in Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia, SC.

At Royson's Automotive in Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia, SC, we understand that there are endless ways a transmission can sound, behave, and feel, depending on what type of vehicle it’s in, what type of transmission it is, and the state of the vehicle’s repair. Sometimes, when people buy a different vehicle, they notice it doesn’t act the same as their last vehicle, which leads them to believe there is a problem.

It makes sense that a car that is rarely driven will last longer, right? It may seem counterintuitive, but that isn’t necessarily the case. Vehicles are meant to be driven, and various issues can arise if they aren’t stored properly or driven fairly regularly. If you have a car, truck, or SUV that you only drive occasionally, in the summer, to car shows, etc., this one is for you. Here’s what you need to know, from Royson's Automotive in Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia, SC.

transmission

Manual transmissions are durable, reliable pieces of equipment. Still, sometimes problems arise. Royson's Automotive in Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia has the answer to a question that plagues many manual transmissions; why does my transmission pop out of gear?

There are a few things that matter when mounting new tires on your truck or commercial vehicle. First, you want it done right. Second, you want it done fast. For both, Royson's Automotive in Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia, SC has you covered. We've been trained to do it right the first time and make sure you're satisfied.

diesel truck

If you drive a Duramax, Powerstroke, or Cummins diesel, you’ve got a truck that’s built for power and reliability. From our team here at Royson's Automotive in Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia, SC, here are the keys to unlocking the secret of a finely tuned diesel pickup.

technicians

There is a reason we check your brake fluid when you come in for a service check.  Maintenance pays big dividends and we want to avoid high repair costs for our Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia drivers.  Did you know that brake service isn't just all about the brake pads, drums & rotors?  That we have found low brake fluid to be the cause of a large percentage of brake issues here at Royson's Automotive?  Seriously, brake fluid is an important part of your braking system and with your service intervals being less frequent on the newer vehicles 5,000-10,000 more miles this has become an issue!  Why?...

Customer Review

Stopped by Royson's Chapin Auto with a nail in our tire just as they were opening Monday morning. The fine people here could not have been friendlier, or more accommodating. We were in and out with a tire plug in less than thirty minutes. Thank you all so much for making a nail in a tire feel like a great start to our day!!!
