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."

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:
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.
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.
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:
All services performed by A+ Auto Service will be backed by our Industry Leading 4 Year/ 48,000 Mile Parts and Labor Warranty.
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, SC, 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.
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:
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.
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:
From minor maintenance services like transmission fluid changes to full transmission rebuilds, we have the tools and trained technicians to handle the job.
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, SC, 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:
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:
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.
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, SC, 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:
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.

DANIEL ISLAND, S.C. (WCSC) — Daniel Island’s Governors Park is getting a $900,000 drainage makeover to solve a persistent problem.
Daniel Island’s Governors Park is one of the community’s most-used recreation spots, and for good reason. From weekend soccer games to morning jogs and pickup play, it’s a hub for residents. But all that action has created a challenge: soggy fields that can’t recover quickly, especially during rainy seasons.
“It is my go-to spot,” resident Doug Majewski said. “I live around the island, and whenever I can get up here, I love the exercise and I love being outside.”
“It is my go-to spot,” Daniel Island resident Doug Majewsk said. “I live around the island and whenever I can get up here, I love the exercise and I love being outside.”
Still, wet fields can quickly put play on pause.
“If it’s a little bit wet and soggy, we’re going to tear up the field… so we don’t want to be out here in the first place,” Majewski said.
To address the issue, the city of Charleston is investing nearly $900,000 in a drainage improvement project focused solely on the soccer fields at Governors Park.
Beth Brownlee, assistant director of capital projects for the city of Charleston, said the issue isn’t just rainfall, but it’s wear and tear from extended use. When the fields were originally built, they did not have lighting. Now that lights have been installed, play continues later into the evenings, increasing overall traffic and compacting the soil.
“One of the issues that we have is that during rainy seasons, those fields can’t recover the way that they normally would, especially given the additional use,” Brownlee said. “This project will give extended use to this needed facility.”
The solution involves installing a system of 50-mm HDPE perforated pipes, spaced 14 feet apart and buried 16 inches. The pipes will collect water beneath the turf and move it away from the field more efficiently.
“Everything that we’re installing is underground,” Brownlee said. “But what this does is it allows us to have a quicker play. Instead of completely demoing the soccer fields and doing larger pipes, this is something a little bit smaller.”
Crews will dig narrow trenches, about three inches wide, minimizing excavation and reducing restoration time.
The improvements are designed to help water drain more quickly so the turf doesn’t stay saturated after storms. Brownlee said the city has used a similar drainage system at Gadsdenboro Park, where fields have remained playable even during wet conditions.
“We want to make sure that we’re giving the community the same playable fields, whether at Daniel Island or throughout the city,” she said.
Construction is scheduled to begin in June and is expected to last up to three months, weather permitting. During that time, access will be restricted to the soccer fields only. Other areas of Governors Park will remain open.
The project will be funded entirely through the county’s general fund reserves. For Majewski and other regulars, the temporary inconvenience is worth it.
“We would be well-served to receive any type of mitigation or enhancement to support the drainage project,” he said. “Most of the neighbors I’m out here with would really appreciate that.”
Once completed, the upgrades are expected to mean fewer rainouts, quicker recovery after storms, and more time on the field for Daniel Island players of all ages.
