With warmer temps in Acton & the Boston West burbs, it's time to get your car ready for spring and summer holiday travel!  Tires are an important piece of safety equipment on your vehicle - tires (and brakes) are what is between you and the road!  Sal's Auto Repair can help you choose the right tires for you, your vehicle, budget and driving conditions.  

Check out Sal's Auto Repair Acton Tire Buying, Seasonal Car Maintenance Safety Tips & Specials:

1. Check Tires for proper inflation. Tire pressure increases in the hot weather (Tires lose pressure in the Cold weather).  Lower tire pressure can reduce your vehicle’s traction especially on wet roads AND reduce your gas mileage (thanks for the comment!).
   
   **Tip from Jean & Sal – Check proper Tire PSI inflation in your car manual or on the inside door panel (not on PSI on the side of the tire!).   
   
   
2. Regular Tire Rotation helps with even tread wear and extend your Tire life.  Sal’s recommends rotating your tires about every 6,000 miles (+/- depending on patterns –rule of thumb – Rotate tires every other oil change – See Sal’s FREE Lifetime Tire Rotation Special)
   
   
3. Put New Tires on the back of the vehicle for better traction in Snow and wet road conditions (tip courtesy of Michelin Tire Safety Expert who says "If you lose traction in the rear first, the car's gonna spin. Physics always wins.")
   
   

Is your Tire Pressure Symbol ON or think you may need New Tires?  Sal’s offers a Complimentary 60 point Vehicle Inspection and Safety Check with any service.  Take advantage of Sal's Auto 2018 Car Care Maintenance Service Specials and FREE Lifetime Tire Rotation with Purchase of 4 New Tires from Sal’s Auto & Truck Repair--- Offer valid with purchase of Oil Change or Any Auto Service.(1 coupon per visit please).

Award reflects Sal’s Auto consistent high level of customer service
Sal’s Auto & Truck Repair in Acton MA has earned the auto repair service industry’s coveted Angie’s List Super Service Award, reflecting an exemplary year of customer service to members of the local services marketplace and consumer review site in 2016. 



It was the third year in a row that Sal’s Auto received the coveted Award. This achievement is particularly significant as Angie’s List experienced unprecedented member growth in 2016. More than 1.6 million consumers, many of whom were eager to quickly hire highly qualified service pros, joined Angie’s List after the company added a new, free membership tier.

​“Companies that can meet higher demands without missing a beat in their exemplary performance standards truly do stand apart from their peers,” said Angie’s List Founder Angie Hicks. “Only a fraction of the auto repair & service shops in the greater Boston area were able to do it.”

Angie’s List Super Service Award winners have met strict eligibility requirements, which include an “A” rating in overall grade, recent grade, and review period grade. The SSA winners must also be in good standing with Angie’s List, pass a background check and abide by Angie’s List operational guidelines.
​
 “Sal’s Auto is proud to receive the Angie’s List Super Service Awards for the 3rd year in a row, to be VOTED the #1 best Auto Service & Repair Shop in Acton MA, and to earn Regional GOLD in the Boston Metro West suburbs. These awards are particularly meaningful as we celebrate our 4th decade in business serving the Acton-Boxborough area. Special thanks to all our customers for trusting us with your auto service, repair & towing needs! “
​
Service company ratings are updated daily on Angie’s List as new, verified consumer reviews are submitted. Companies are graded on an A through F scale in areas ranging from price to professionalism to punctuality.
 
For more than 21 years, Angie’s List restricted access to its verified reviews to consumers who paid membership fees. When the company removed that barrier, some companies worried that the new, non-paying members would not be as engaged as members of the past. Experience has shown, however, that these newly added members are just as engaged – across all age groups – as prior members. Also, because the company continues to adhere to its review verification process, there has been no degradation of review quality.
 
“The biggest change at Angie’s List is that we are connecting even more consumers to high quality service professionals,” Hicks said. “And that’s good for everyone.”
