After loosing our son a year ago, we became more involved in our daughter-in-law and four grandsons day to day lives. Us being in Colorado makes this a little difficult to get things accomplished. One of those items we helped with was getting our 16 year old grandsons vehicle safe to drive and also transport our two youngest grandsons from place to place. Reeves replaced the front end and a few other items to make it a safe vehicle. But to add to it without charging for it delivered it to a local tire shop for new tires to complete the vehicle. Above and beyond for sure.

Manual transmissions have been around for a long time and if you have ever driven a manual you know how exciting they can be. Manual transmissions have also been referred to as standard transmissions, stick shifts, manual gearbox, or a simple gearbox. No matter what you call it, manual transmissions are fun to drive, better on fuel, reliable, and somewhat safer. So what do you know about manual transmissions; where did they come from, and how do they work? Reeves Automotive in Decatur, TX knows, and now you will too.

“Water pump” is a term you’ve most likely heard in conversations about vehicles. But what is it, what does it actually do, and how do you know if you need a new one? At Reeves Automotive in Decatur, we know the answers to these questions, and soon you will too.

Your brakes have a lot to do with how your car drives. Brakes are a frequently neglected item on a lot of people’s checklist, and many drivers on the road have subpar brakes and don’t even know it. A car that brakes well and brakes correctly are just as important as acceleration, handling, or any other aspect of a vehicle’s drivability. A car with brake issues has the potential to be a far more enjoyable ride when fixed.

Air filters are an important part of vehicle maintenance. What many people don’t realize is you actually have two filters; one for your engine and a cabin filter to filter the air coming into your car. Both of them function the same way but have entirely different purposes. They are often neglected, particularly the cabin filter, and yours may need to be changed right now. This guide, provided by Reeves Automotive in Decatur, highlights the importance of filters, symptoms of an overused one, and how to maintain them.
