See and Be Seen: Why Headlights Matter in Summer Safety

One of the most common causes is a faulty blend door motor. This small part helps control the temperature inside your vehicle by opening and closing doors in your air system. When it starts to fail, it can get stuck or try to move the door the wrong way—which is what causes the clicking sound. You might still feel air coming from the vents, but it may not be the right temperature. Sometimes, it’s stuck on hot when you want cold, or vice versa. Over time, the noise can get worse and the motor may stop working altogether. If your dash is clicking, it’s a good idea to have it looked at before it turns into a bigger repair. Give us a call at 972-625-1836 to schedule a reservation. We’ll take care of the noise—and make sure your A/C is working like it should.

Every tire on your car wears differently. Depending on its position, road conditions, and your driving habits. Without regular rotation, you’ll experience uneven wear. This can lead to poor handling , lower fuel efficiency , and a shorter tire lifespan . Generally, tires should be rotated every other oil change. But heavy driving, towing, or rough roads may require more frequent checks. Regular rotations also help your suspension stay balanced and can prevent bigger issues down the road. At David’s Automotive Repair, we’ll make sure your tires are rotated properly and check for any signs of trouble. Our team is committed to helping drivers in The Colony and nearby communities stay safer on the road. Keep your car riding smoothly—call 972-625-1836 to make your reservation today!
