Dealing with COVID

  With Covid-19, it is important for repair shops to do everything in their power to stop the spread of disease. Sant Automotive employees take several steps to protect the health of our customers and ourselves . Employees are required to have daily temperature checks. We clean and sanitize surfaces in our shop, in our Loaner Cars, and in our customers' vehicles after each visit, and we sanitize keys . Also, we have a very simple touchless key exchange. Our customers deposit their Car Keys in a zip lock bag. Keys are not taken out of the bag until our customer returns to pick up his or her vehicle. If necessary, we poke the blade of the key through the bag to operate our customers’ vehicles.

Likewise, the issue could caused by to how the engine is running. Worn Spark Plugs, Ignition Wires or other ignition parts could also be the cause. If the car shakes when driving, the shake could caused by Wheels, Tires, or worn or broken suspension components like Shock Absorbers, Struts, or CV Axles .
