Did you know that airbags weren't mandatory safety equipment in passenger vehicles until 1997? Now, you'll find them in well over 100 million cars and trucks on the road. Since their invention, airbags, along with the seat belt, have played a major role in reducing the number of injuries and deaths in traffic collisions.

If your car has climate control, then it also has a cabin filter. Cabin filters are simply air filters for the interior of your car, truck, or SUV. All air entering circulation through the climate control system first passes through this filter, to prevent your AC or heat systems from accumulating debris or blowing them out of your vents. The result is cleaner, quieter, and longer-lasting climate control systems, which keep the inside of your car as comfortable as possible.

Praise Jesus, Hallelujah for answered prayers! It's been a challenging few months in terms of unexpected challenges/expenses coming out of the woodworks. Our car had a major power steering fluid leak situation caused by a broken power steering hose and Mike, the owner, and his team of angels were able to get it fixed! From the 1st moment I called this place, after Oliver Automotive was highly recommended by a dear trusted friend and also seeing all of the stellar reviews online, I was extremely blessed because Mike himself picked up the phone. I spoke to Mike about my situation, especially since both my husband and I have only this one car that we both share, and Mike accommodated me by having me drive over right away so that at least he could do an initial exam. Thank you Mike and team for going above and beyond in providing best-in-class service so that we can pick up our car one day later since we only have one car that we're sharing! While I was waiting while Mike was doing the initial exam, I had a chance to talk to some of his wonderful staff-Tammy and David! This place and staff ooze with great energy! It's unfortunate that our car had this challenging issue, but God gave us beauty for ashes with this gem of a place! Thank you Mike for taking such great care of us and hiring such wonderful staff! Also absolutely love how lovely the garage is, warm and inviting-the nicest garage I have ever been in with great music over the speakers! Love the very warming beautiful electric fireplace and beautiful paintings in the office! Thank you Oliver Automotive for being ethical, accountable, personable, and highly knowledgeable with your craft!
