We appreciate you for choosing A+ Auto Mechanic Services.

When was the last time you walked into a mechanic's shop and thought to yourself, "Wow, everyone here is so friendly! Their waiting room is nice too. I think I'll stay while they work on my car." The truth is, too many autobody shops in Daniel Island are dark, dingy, and dirty. To make matters worse, their staff are aloof and often don't know a thing about customer service.

General Automobile
Maintenance and Repair
in Daniel Island

You have spent thousands of dollars on your vehicle. Doesn't it make sense, then, to take care of your investment? General maintenance and repair services like oil changes and tire rotations are crucial for maintaining the life of your car or truck. Perhaps more importantly, routine service can help ensure your safety systems are fully functional. When your car is up-to-date on maintenance, you have peace of mind knowing your friends and family are safe.

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 keeping a regular maintenance schedule, you can prevent breakdowns and reduce wear and tear that can reduce the life of your vehicle. 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.

Better Safety

Few situations are as sketchy as your vehicle breaking down on a road or highway, especially at night. Regular maintenance can help reduce the probability of getting stranded. Plus, your car will be in better working condition year-round.

Fewer Repairs Needed

When you have the A+ team perform preventative maintenance on your vehicle, you're staying ahead of the repair game. Wait too long to have your car's oil changed, or its engine checked, and you might need emergency auto repair. These problems often happen at the worst times and cost a lot of money. When you keep your vehicle maintained, you can reduce repairs and their cost.

Common maintenance and repair jobs include:

Oil Change
Brakes
Tune-ups
Water pumps
Radiators

Belts & Hoses

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. Once we understand your car's electrical issues, we get to work on solving the problem at a price you can afford.

Some common automobile electrical problems we solve include:

Dead Batteries
Bad Alternators
Bad Battery Cables
Blown Electrical Fuses
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.

Some common warning signs that you need brake repair includes:

Grinding Noises When Stopping
Spongy-Feeling Brake Pedals
Shaking Steering Column
Squealing and Squeaking Sounds When Stopping
Wobbling or Vibration at Highway Speeds

Welcome to the A+ Auto
Family

When you trust us with your vehicle, know that we take that trust very seriously. Unlike some of our competitors, we like to treat our customers like family. And when you're like family, you can rest easy knowing your car or truck is in capable hands. Whether you need a simple oil change or a new engine install, we're here for you every step of the way.

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.

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.
