A battery isn’t something you would expect to be affected by weather; as long as it’s charged, most batteries just work. Vehicle batteries, however, are actually noticeably impacted by cold weather. You may notice on especially cold mornings that your vehicle is a little slower to start then normal...that’s because your battery struggles a little more than usual in the cold.
Christmas is just a few days away! If you’re like us, for many of you that means travelling this holiday season. Here are some travel tips from Link Automotive Services in Nashville, TN to make sure your Christmas journey is merry.
As cars become more technologically advanced, the importance of your vehicle’s battery becomes continually more important. In the old days, a car battery essentially worked, or it didn’t; if it was good enough to start the car, it was good enough. Moderns vehicles are a different story. A faulty battery can cause a variety of issues, including engine codes, sensor failures, irregular transmission behavior, and the list goes on. Battery failure often causes issues that are commonly misdiagnosed, and in the hands of the wrong auto repair shop, a mechanic may spend hundreds of your hard-earned dollars chasing problems that don’t exist. At Link Automotive Services in Nashville, TN, our mechanics are familiar with modern vehicles and the problems that accompany them.

This place is 100% legit. Of all the places I looked at to get help with my Class A RV this was the only place that did what they said they would do. Mind you I only told them over the phone a general idea what I thought was wrong (and I knew nothing at the time about RV's). They not only offered to help get my RV fixed but they offered to let me park my RV in their lot and stay in it while they fixed it. I did not take them up on this offer but was very appreciative for it, I stayed in a nearby hotel and they were able to get to fixing the problem with my RV much faster, bumping me ahead of others since I was from out of town and needed to get back home to Minnesota ASAP or risk my girlfriends daughter losing her job. They always kept me up to date on where they were in the process of getting the problem fixed (blown out, rusted brake lines) and gave their opinion as to the best course of action, and explained in great detail what needed to be done, what could wait and honestly what would be best for me to do. Not only were they 100% professional but I can not say enough about the character of the people who work there. Chris, the person I initially spoke with on the phone, is probably the greatest customer service person I have ever met bar none and genuinely helpful with any problem you may have. Daniel is great, has a great sense of humor and I can't thank him enough for everything, from offering to let us stay in the lot in our RV to letting us use their breakroom and bathrooms. Marilyn and her cohort (I think her name is Amber but not 100%) are the two sweetest and helpful receptionists, thank you both for putting up with a cranky Minnesotan and offering advice on where to go and visit in beautiful Nashville while we waited for our RV to get fixed. All in all the best vehicle service place I have ever had the pleasure of going to. I can not say enough about this fine establishment and the wonderful people that work there. If you ever need to have your RV fixed, checked-up, maintained, upgraded, don't bother with the other 'so-called' places that 'fix' RV's, just go here as you will most likely be given the runaround or told to go here anyway. Even though I live in Minnesota if I ever need my RV fixed I will take a trip down here to get it fixed. Thanks again Chris, Dan and Marilyn you are truly the best. Brian the cranky Minnesotan PS : if you do get your RV fixed here call them afterwards and let them know how the repairs went and that you got home safely, they appreciate hearing from their customers and knowing that you made it to your destination. - Brian M.
