man working on a torque converter

If you drive a lightweight car, truck, or SUV, the torque converter you have installed is probably just fine. For those of you with more heavy-duty applications, like high horsepower setups or towing rigs, the stock converter may not be enough. At Super Shop Automotive in Merced, CA, we can help with that.

transmission

Transmission slippage can be caused by a variety of factors that are sometimes difficult to pin down. From Super Shop Automotive in Merced, CA, here’s a rundown of the more common issues that may cause a transmission to slip. Our highly trained technicians are ready to get you going with a top transmission.

Exhaust

Exhaust systems are one of the most neglected aspects of most vehicles. Exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, and mufflers are exposed to heat, emissions, and road damage. While your exhaust system is fairly simple and straightforward, these conditions mean it is inherently prone to rust and damage. As a result, this system is often one of the first systems you will have trouble within your car.

My 2014 Dodge Avenger had been broken down for 5 months due to overheating.... at first. I had a family member replace the radiator and when we started the car to see if that fixed my overheating problem my car then would start and die after a few seconds. I felt like my car (which I am still making payments on) was a goner. I finally gave in and started googling mechanics in my area. I found Super Shop and they had great reviews. I had my car towed there and was honestly impressed when I walked in the door. Maybe I have been to the wrong mechanics but this was the nicest shop I had seen. It was super clean and the staff was all very nice. I explained to them the problems I was having and they even offered a ride home which I didn't need, but it was kind of them to ask. I didn't hear back from them for about 5 or 6 days which did worry me at first, but I knew there was ALOT of cars there when I dropped mine off and my car had not been moved in 5 months, so I was patient. I did finally received a call from them explaining what was wrong with my car and how much it would cost to repair and they even checked to see if my overheating problem was fixed since I couldn't get the car to start to check. I thought for sure I was going to pay a crazy amount, but it was actually very reasonable. I was able to pick up my car the day they called. It had been running well for a few days until the check engine light came on, but it had been sitting so it was expected. I was happy with their work so I went back and currently have my car there to pick up. It only took 3 days for my car this time and again they called me to let me know what was wrong and how much it would cost to repair. I will only go to this shop going forward. Best mechanic in Merced BY FAR.
drivetrain

Your drivetrain is where most of the process of moving your vehicle occurs. The drivetrain includes all the parts powered by the engine to turn the wheels, including the transmission, axles, or driveshafts that combine efforts to propel your car forward (or backward, when you’re in reverse.) At Super Shop Automotive in Merced, CA, our drivetrain specialists are well equipped to keep your car, truck, or SUV reliably on the road and running smoothly along.

Shock absorbers in vehicle

Tires may be the only part of a vehicle that physically meets the road, but your shock absorbers are next in line. Working with the suspension springs, they absorb shocks from bumps and cracks in the road, while simultaneously controlling bounce and body roll.

With the seasonal impacts and weather changes, a lot of wear can go into your wiper blades. Are your blades leaving behind streaks? Scraping noises when they rub against the windshield? Or the most obvious sign, is the blade fraying and cracking?  It’s time to ask yourself; do I need new wiper blades? Super Shop Automotive in Merced, CA is here to help.
