Malvern PA Auto Repair

I thought the topic of tires and when to replace them may have been overdone. However, I may have been wrong.  One evening, I was talking with my wife about the first blog that I had written.   It may be obvious, but I am not a writer.  But I try, LOL. When we were talking, I asked her if she had an idea for a topic, and she came back with tires!!!  At first, I was a little hesitant because I thought the topic of tires had been overdone, however she gave me some insight:   In the conversation, one of the things that was discussed was how many times while driving to work, my wife noticed other drivers would having problems controlling their vehicle.  At this point, I thought I may have assumed too much. When we talked about it further, my wife mentioned that she had noticed the condition of the vehicles’ tires, and the inability for the driver to control the car in wet road conditions.   At that point, I decided we do need to tal ... read more

 As you might have derived from the title, I am at work on a snowy February morning in 2021. We here at ASM Auto are a new shop trying to establish ourselves in the automotive field.  The last thing we needed was 12 inches of snow!  Now I am not going to turn this article into a bitch session.  Instead, I would like to tell you about some of the things I am grateful for.  First of all:  I have an opportunity to write this blog.  Second:  I did not break my back shoveling.  Third:  we have some fantastic neighbors who have been in business for many years and remember what it was like just starting out.  They took it upon themselves to plow our lot.  That was the true definition of what it means to be a good neighbor. With all the things that happened in 2020, it is important that people can still rely on a good neighbor.  We have had our struggles with opening an auto repair shop in late 2020.  Some may have sai ... read more
