If you own a Ford vehicle you may be affected by this recall. According to CBS News, Ford recently announced a recall that affects over 1.3 million vehicles that are primarily located in North America. The recall was issued mainly due to problems with rear suspension and transmission control software.

Had a storage unit at Braun & Sons. They were always very courteous and willing to help. Even more so just after a tornado took out their shop and our storage unit. They are honorable, and I'd be more than happy to have a unit with them again after they rebuild. - Bernadette G. (5 star review on Google)

Today I was on my way home and my truck started acting weird. Lights flashing, service light coming on, losing power, etc. I pulled in to your shop at closing time and Alan looked at it and went above and beyond to help me get home. He worked hard to find the problem. He is a true hero to me! Thank you Alan I hope to one day repay your kindness!

We want our customers informed so here are some commonly asked questions regarding car care, maintenance, repair and tips that you may have and help you better understand about your vehicle.

What’s the correct tire pressure for my vehicle?

The correct tire pressure for a vehicle is determined by the size and weight of the vehicle, the type of tires it uses, load hauled, and the type of driving the vehicle is intended for. The vehicle manufacturer places a tire inflation placard in each vehicle that gives the proper tire inflation pressures for that vehicle. This placard is located on the inside of the glove box door, inside the fuel-filler door, or on the driver’s side doorpost (depending upon manufacturer). Most manufacturers also list tire inflation levels in the owner’s manual.
