Vehicles driving on a highway with headlights on

All the lights on your vehicle have an important job to do. Brake lights, tail lights, blinkers, reverse lights, and headlights are a crucial part of driving. Lights make you visible, make things visible to you, and allow you to communicate with other drivers. All of a vehicle’s lights make driving easier and safer, and all of them are important...not to mention legally required.

When your commercial or fleet vehicles need maintenance or repair, we know it can be a hassle. We also know that you want it to stay fixed and stay on the road for as long as possible. At GC Automotive & Performance, a huge aspect of our focus on quality is not only centered around the work we do but also the components we install.

Whether it’s a result of maintenance, mileage, or some other factor, it seems that every fleet or commercial diesel leaks a little bit of something. Oil, transmission fluid, gear oil, or coolant seem to find a way to pool overnight on the ground after a long day on the road. At GC Automotive & Performance in Jamesburg & Marlboro Township, NJ, we can take care of that for you.

Your radiator hoses are under a lot of pressure, in both the figurative and literal sense. From GC Automotive & Performance in Jamesburg & Marlboro Township, NJ, here’s what you need to know about the radiator hoses on your car, truck, or SUV.

If your car has climate control, then it also has a cabin filter. Cabin filters are simply air filters for the interior of your car, truck, or SUV. All air entering circulation through the climate control system first passes through this filter, to prevent your AC or heat systems from accumulating debris or blowing them out of your vents. The result is cleaner, quieter, and longer-lasting climate control systems, which keep the inside of your car as comfortable as possible.

The exhaust on your truck is an important series of components, that work together to ensure smooth, reliable operation. At GC Automotive & Performance in Jamesburg & Marlboro Township, we also know that exhaust systems are especially susceptible to damage and rust; pipes, mufflers, and other parts are exposed to hazards on the road, and to the environment. This situation, combined with caustic emissions and extreme heat, creates a perfect opportunity for problems to arise.

Whether you drive a Chevy, Ford, or Ram diesel pickup, your engine is likely equipped with an injection pump.

Balanced wheels are essential for a multitude of reasons, particularly on commercial trucks. At GC Automotive & Performance in Jamesburg & Marlboro Township, we have the precision equipment necessary to provide you with the best balance possible, keeping your truck smoothly and reliably on the road.
