You have spent thousands of dollars on your vehicle. Doesn't it make sense, then, to take care of your investment?

A few reasons you should bring your car or truck in for regular maintenance include:


Extend Your Vehicle's Life
With regular maintenance, you can keep your vehicle in good shape year-round.

By giving your car or truck the attention it needs, you can get the most out of your vehicle and keep it in good shape well past the 100k mile mark.

Fewer Repairs Needed
When you have the A+ team perform preventative maintenance on your vehicle, you're staying ahead of the repair game.

Electrical Maintenance and
Repair in Daniel Island
Every day, we hop in our cars, crank the ignition, and make our way to whatever destination we're headed to. Most vehicle owners do this without a second thought, but have you ever taken a moment to think about your car's electrical components?
Your vehicle's electric system not only starts your car - it makes your radio, dashboard, and headlights functional. Today, most cars have complex electrical components that are responsible for on-road safety systems and all-wheel drive mechanics.
At A+ Auto, we perform a variety of electrical maintenance work in Daniel Island, from simple battery replacements to comprehensive re-wiring. Our team of skilled electrical technicians will dial down to the root cause of your issues and provide you with a detailed explanation of what's going on with your car.

- Dead Batteries

- Bad Starter
Engine Repair in Daniel Island
When it comes to your car or truck, maintaining your engine is arguably the most important task you can take. That's because the engine is like the heart of your vehicle. Without a properly functioning engine, you can't drive anywhere. One of the most common signs that your engine needs service is an oil leak. If you notice a leak, we advise you to bring your vehicle to our experienced mechanic in Daniel Island, SC, immediately. Driving a vehicle with a leak can cause more damage, which in the end, could cause engine failure and result in very expensive repairs.
Some common engine maintenance services we offer include:
- Air and Fuel Filter Replacement
- Spark Plug Replacement
- Spark Plug Wiring Inspection
- Throttle Body Services
- Much More
At A+ Auto Service, we don't stop with routine engine maintenance. Our highly-skilled engine repair technicians can completely rebuild or replace your faulty engine at a price you can afford. If your "check engine" light comes on, don't ignore it - bring it in to our shop before the problem gets worse.

Transmission Repair
in Daniel Island
If your engine is the heart of your car or truck, consider your transmission its circulatory system. Problems with your vehicle's transmission are just as "mission-critical" as those with your engine. Fortunately, with regular maintenance checks and our transmission repair services, your vehicle is in good hands. However, waiting too long to have your transmission serviced can lead to a domino effect of issues. Those problems will be costly and may render your vehicle inoperable.
A few warning signs you may need transmission repair include:
- Slipping Gears
- Burning Smell
- Leaking Fluid
- Humming or Clunking Sounds
- Unresponsive Gear Shifts
From minor maintenance services like transmission fluid changes to full transmission rebuilds, we have the tools and trained technicians to handle the job.

Air Conditioning Repair
in Daniel Island
There are some things in the south that you must have. When it comes to your automobile, you can include air conditioning on that list. In Daniel Island, the weather doesn't just get hot - it gets really hot, with a lot of humidity. Keeping your A/C maintained helps prevent serious situations where your A/C goes out when you need it the most. Of course, air conditioning isn't just reserved for hot days in the Lowcountry - your car's A/C plays an important role in the winter as well, like defrosting your windows. If you notice strange smells, leaks, or no air conditioning at all, it's time to bring your vehicle to our A/C mechanic in Daniel Island, SC.
At A+ Auto, we service a wide variety of A/C issues, including:
- Damaged or Failed Compressor
- A/C System Leaks
- Clutch Issues
- Low Refrigerant Levels
- Filter Problems
- Broken Belts
- Broken Blower Motor
- Cross Contamination
- A/C Control Head Malfunctions

Vehicle Wheel Alignment in
Daniel Island
Do you really need to have your wheels aligned when you bring your vehicle in for service? Yes, absolutely. A proper wheel alignment ensures your tires meet the road at the right angle, point straight when they need to, and remain centered in your wheel wells. When your wheels are out of alignment, your gas mileage and ride comfort suffer.
Common signs of misalignment include:
- Car Pulling to Right or Left
- Rapid Tire Wear
- Uneven Tire Wear
- Noisy Steering
- Squealing Tires
Not only can alignment issues cause driving to be uncomfortable, but it can also cause a lot of damage to your vehicle. To avoid uneven tire wear and costly repairs, we suggest getting your vehicle alignment checked, which is FREE at A+ Auto.

Tires & Brakes in Daniel Island
Few situations are scarier than driving when the brakes go out. Your vehicle's brakes are its most vital safety system. They give you the ability to stop or slow down, so you can avoid serious car accidents and pedestrians in the roadway. Having good brakes can mean the difference between life and death, which is why it is so important that you keep them well maintained. If your brakes are getting worse and worse, it might be time to replace them.
The same goes for your tires - another vital part of your vehicle's makeup. When your tires are worn, you're putting yourself and your family at risk when you drive with them. Tires with worn-out tread won't function properly in adverse conditions, like when you drive through deep standing water on the highway.
A+ Auto Service is a Certified Hercules, General & Continental Tire Dealer. A lot goes into finding the right tire, whether you need basic all-season tires or real-deal off-road rubber. If you don't know where to start on your search for new tires, one of our auto mechanics in Daniel Island, SC would be happy to help.
When you visit our shop for routine maintenance or new tires in Daniel Island, be sure to have your brakes inspected while you wait. The last thing you want to do is drive off our lot with brakes that won't stop you.

The Daniel Island Club is getting ready to become a very busy place with the playing of the U.S. Junior Amateur scheduled for July 24-29.
The juniors will begin 36 holes of stroke-play qualifying on Monday and Tuesday of that week on both the Ralston Creek (Rees Jones) and Beresford Creek (Tom Fazio) courses to whittle the field to 64 for match play. If there is a tie in qualifying, there will be a sudden-death playoff to get the number to exactly 64 for match play that begins on Wednesday and concludes with a 36-hole championship match on Ralston Creek on Saturday (July 29).
Three South Carolina golfers are among those who will participate in the qualifying portion of the tournament. Rowan Sullivan of Charleston and Davis Neal of North Augusta both advanced in a qualifier at Daniel Island Club. Matt Moloney of Daniel Island earned his spot in a qualifier held at the University of Georgia course in Athens.
This year 4,261 players registered for the U.S. Junior, the second-most in history and highest total since 1999. The Daniel Island qualifying field consists of 264 golfers, 60 of whom were exempt.
Notable past champions include three-time winner Tiger Woods (1991-93); Jordan Spieth (2009, 2011); Scottie Scheffler (2013); Johnny Miller (1964); David Duval (1989); and South Carolina native Charlie Rymer (1985).
Wenyi Ding of the Peoples Republic of China defeated Caleb Surratt of Indian Trail, N.C., 3 and 2, in the 2022 U.S. Junior played at Bandon Dunes in Oregon.
The winner of the tournament receives a gold medal; an exemption from qualifying for future U.S. Juniors while still eligible; an exemption into the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst,; and exemptions into the 2023 and 2024 U.S. Amateurs. A competitor cannot have a Handicap Index exceeding 4.4, and must not have reached his 19th birthday by July 29, 2023.
This marks the fourth time the U.S. Junior has been played in South Carolina. It was previously played in 1963 at Florence Country Club, in 1979 at Moss Creek Golf Club on Hilton Head Island, and in 2015 at Colleton River Plantation in Bluffton.
U.S. Amateur qualifying
Andrew Swanson of Bluffton and Jackson Buchanan of Dacula, Ga., were co-medalists with scores of 134 in qualifying for the U.S. Amateur held July 10-11 at Dataw Island Club.
Max Dupree of Eatonton, Ga., and Ethan Paschal of Fayetteville, N.C., tied for third with scores of 137. Jackson Byrd of St. Simons Island, Ga., son of touring pro Jonathan Byrd, birdied the second playoff hole to earn the final spot after tying Charleston’s Rowan Sullivan at 138. Sullivan is the first alternate.
The U.S. Amateur will be played Aug. 14-20 at Cherry Hills Country Club in Colorado.
Mount Pleasant Open
The 11th annual Mount Pleasant Charity Open will be held July 28-30 at Patriots Point Links. The entry fee for the 54-hole tournament is $250 for the Championship Division and $220 for the Senior and Open Division.

A Colorado-based developer of several projects in the Lowcountry plans to offer a new residential phase in a developing Daniel Island community this fall.
East West Partners will offer 47 residences, including condominiums, townhomes and marsh cottages, in the third phase of its mixed-use Waterfront project along the Wando River.
Some of the two- to four-story buildings will have views of the river. Pricing has not been announced.
The announcement comes after the developer recently sold out all 41 one- to three-bedroom condominium units across three buildings in a second phase of construction at prices ranging from the mid-$600,000s to $3.6 million, according to a spokeswoman.
Work on the second phase with units ranging from 1,220 square feet to 3,400 square feet got underway last year and is expected to wrap up in early 2024.
“Demand for this community has remained strong ever since its inception, reflecting a continually growing interest in the elevated, yet relaxed coastal lifestyle and vibrant social environment we’ve been able to cultivate here,” said Harriette Calder, community project manager.
In addition to the residences, this second collection also features exclusive new homeowner amenities, including a shared, elevated outdoor courtyard for residents of two of the buildings, and an outdoor terrace and gathering space called The Perch for residents of the third building.
All homeowners in The Waterfront also have access to an array of amenities, including a waterfront park with public docks, 25-plus miles of hiking trails, resort-style pool, fitness center. When completed, the community will have six phases of development.
The brownsfield site where an auto shop and a later longtime milk plant operated is slated to have 200 apartments on Meeting Street.
6: Number of restaurants a Charleston-based chain will have when a new one opens next year in West Ashley.
250: Estimated number of hotel rooms planned for a former 10-story office tower in Charleston.
4,000: Square footage of new Mexican restaurant coming to a developing mixed-used community in Charleston.
38,000: Square footage of new retail and medical center coming to Bees Ferry Road in West Ashley.
+ Plans put off: Ports Authority delays plans for Union Pier redevelopment in Charleston for a year.
+ 21 and counting: Charleston-area home sales declined for the 21st consecutive month in May to a level last seen about 8 years ago.
+ Washed out: Conceptual plans for a new car wash at the site of a West Ashley restaurant recently failed to win approval from a Charleston reveiw panel.
+ Changing hands: A 112-unit North Charleston apartment complex is now under new ownership.
Private club Soho House is coming to Charleston
Social club Soho House plans to land in a nearly 150-year-old iconic building in the downtown area.

Shrimp trawling season now open

South Carolina’s favorite seafood will soon be more widely available at docks and markets along the coast as commercial shrimp trawling opened in all legal South Carolina waters on June 1.
In an average year, shrimp season opens in full by mid- to late-May, typically after the opening of eight smaller provisional areas in the state’s outer waters. This year those provisional areas opened on April 27, allowing shrimpers to begin harvesting some larger white shrimp from farther offshore while still protecting most of the spawning population closer to shore.
SCDNR officials set the opening date for shrimp season each year based on the conditions of the shrimp themselves. Aboard both commercial and agency vessels, biologists sample and study white shrimp frequently in late spring. One of the things they’re looking for is evidence that a majority of female white shrimp have already spawned at least once.
“We monitored the progress of white shrimp spawning by conducting regular sampling all along the South Carolina coast throughout the month of May,” said biologist Jeff Brunson, who oversees crustacean management for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
Opening the season too soon – and allowing trawlers to catch females that have not had an opportunity to spawn – could reduce the size of the fall white shrimp crop, which are the offspring of the spring white shrimp.
“According to our assessments, adequate spawning has occurred to ensure that harvest is sustainable and that offspring from the spring spawning stock will be abundant enough to support the important fall shrimp crop,” said Brunson.
South Carolina's commercial shrimp calendar has historically had three peak periods. In the spring, shrimpers typically capitalize on the influx of roe white shrimp – large, early-season shrimp that generally fetch higher prices and generate the most value for fishing effort. The summer months are defined by a peak in brown shrimp, which are similar to white shrimp in size and taste. In the fall and into winter, shrimpers bring in a second crop of white shrimp; the offspring of the spring roe shrimp.
Because white shrimp are a short-lived species that are vulnerable to cold water temperatures and unusually wet or dry summers, their numbers can fluctuate dramatically from year to year. However, they’re also prolific spawners – which means that the populations can quickly rebound even after a poor year or season.
“Although we did have some very low temperatures in late December of 2022, that weather event was short-lived. We have not seen any evidence that this event had a meaningful effect on the white shrimp spawning stock this spring,” Brunson said.
