Car Repair on Watson Road

 

Whether you’re waiting for an Oil Change or State Inspection or something that may take a bit longer like having a Check Engine Light or noise concern diagnosed. Sitting in a waiting room can be boring.  Quality shops, like Sant Automotive, put a premium on taking the time to perform thorough, professional work.

To make it more convenient for our customers, Sant Automotive offers Free Shuttle Service. Drop off your car, and we’ll give you a ride home. If you need to get somewhere farther away, we have two “Loaner Cars.” The only requirements to use one of our loaners is that the driver must be a customer who is, at least 25 years old and has a valid driver’s license and proof of insurance.

If you need to stay with your vehicle, Sant Automotive has a clean waiting room with Free Wifi, and we are within walking distance of two of my favorite restaurants on Watson Road.

Malone’s Bar and Grill at 8742 Watson Road is listed by Google as being a one minute walk from our front door. Malone’s has great food and cold drinks and a friendly atmosphere with live sports. It’s a great place to kill a few hours if you need to wait.

Likewise, King Edwards at 8654 Watson Road is just east of Sant Automotive at 8654 Watson Road. It is listed by Google as being a three minute walk from Sant Automotive. King Edwards has the best chicken in St. Louis, so I’d think about giving them a shot, too. (They’re fish may be pretty good, too, but the chicken is so good that none of us have ever tried it.

Regardless, if you need to drop off your car for Routine Maintenance, complex Electrical Repair, or anything else, Sant Automotive has you covered.

Do Tires Expire?

Image
  Do tires expire is a question that our customers often ask. For years many motorists have relied only on tread depth to know when it is time to replace them. Unfortunately, the age of your tires is also a factor. Over time, tires can dry out and crack. Excessive heat and sunlight contribute to this and can cause tire to unexpectedly fail, even when there is plenty of tread remaining on the tire . Tire manufacturers offer different opinions regarding how long tires will last, but the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NTHSA) recommends that you replace tires after six years . How do you know how old your tires are ? The best way to know the age of your tires is to check the Department of Transportation (DOT) code. The manufacturer stamped it in the sidewall of your tire. DOT numbers identify the manufacturer and the make of tires, but they also tell you when the tires were made . The last four digits of your tires’ DOT code tell the month and year of manufa...

What is a Belt Tune Up?

Image
A Serpentine Belt is the rubber Drive Belt that causes the pullies on your car's Alternator, Air Conditioning Compressor, Water Pump, and Power Steering Pump to rotate and to create electrical and mechanical power. Rotation of the alternator creates your car's electrical power. Gas powered vehicles have one or more Drive Belts, at least one Belt Tensioner, and they may have one or more Idler Pulleys. Belt Tensioners insure that the Alternator, A/C Compressor, Water Pump, and Power Steering Pump continue to spin with the rotation of the engine. Idler Pulleys are simply pulleys that do not drive other components. Idler Pulleys are used to route the Serpentine Belt.  With use, a Serpentine Belt will stretch and wear.  Belt Tensioners and Idler Pulleys also wear, and this will cause additional belt wear. When a Serpentine Belt breaks, the components that it drives will not longer function. Because of this, Sant Automotive recommends that you replace your Serpentine Belt(s), Idler ...

What Do Spark Plugs Do?

Image
  Spark Plugs are the small electrical parts that provide the power to ignite the fuel in gasoline powered devices. As electricity passes between the Spark Plug's electrodes, gasoline ignites causing an explosion that powers your vehicle. Spark Plugs fire once every two engine rotations. This means that if your engine is running at 800 RPMs, your Spark Plugs will fire 400 times per minute. The heat produced by these explosions causes the Electrodes to wear which increases the gap between the Electrodes. The increased gap causes your vehicle to use more fuel to produce the same amount of power.  Worn Spark Plugs reduce Gas Mileage, and unburnt fuel will damage your car's Oxygen Sensors and its Catalytic Converter. Also, the longer that plugs stay in a vehicle, the more likely they are to become stuck in the engine's cylinder head. If a spark plug breaks, it can be very expensive and time consuming to extract it. For these reasons, Sant Automotive recommends that you change y...
