Common Car Problems for Red Bank Drivers

Driving in Red Bank combines city-style stop-and-go with the occasional highway dash. Over time, we’ve noticed a few common car problems for Red Bank area drivers:

Worn Brakes from Downtown Traffic

All those traffic lights on Broad Street downtown mean lots of stopping. It’s no surprise that brake pads can wear out faster in town. We often replace brakes for Red Bank drivers who start hearing squeals or feel a soft pedal after daily commuting and errand runs around our busy downtown.

Alignment Trouble from Potholes

Red Bank’s winters (and frequent roadwork) can leave behind potholes and uneven pavement on local streets. Hitting a nasty pothole can knock your alignment out of whack. We see many cars from Red Bank needing wheel alignments or new tires after encountering rough spots on local streets.

Engine Heat & A/C Strain

Summertime traffic in Red Bank can be brutal, making your engine and A/C work overtime when you’re inching along Newman Springs Road on a hot day. We often fix overheating problems or weak A/C in these conditions, especially if coolant or refrigerant is low.

Maintenance Tips for Monmouth County Vehicles

Stay on top of maintenance to keep your car happy on Red Bank roads. Here are a few tips for local vehicle owners:

Clear Leaves & Debris: Parking under the beautiful trees by Riverside Gardens Park or along side streets can mean leaves in your car’s vents and wiper cowl. Periodically clear out leaves and debris from your windshield area. This prevents drain clogs that can cause leaks or ventilation issues.
Take an Occasional Highway Drive: If most of your trips are just around Red Bank – short drives that don’t fully warm up the engine – try to take your car on a longer highway spin once in a while. A 20-minute drive on the Garden State Parkway or Route 18 helps burn off engine deposits and recharge the battery, keeping things running smoothly.
Don’t Ignore Small Issues: With a busy schedule, it’s easy to ignore an odd rattle or the check-engine light. But catching a small issue before it becomes a big problem can save you time and money. If something feels off, swing by the shop and let us take a look.

Helpful Tips for Red Bank Vehicle Owners

Mind Those Parking Spots: Red Bank’s parallel parking can be a tight squeeze. To avoid curbing your wheels or tires, take it slow and use your backup camera or mirrors carefully. If you do scrape a rim or feel the steering wheel shake after a curb bump, have your alignment checked to prevent uneven tire wear.
Winterize for Downtown Driving: Before winter sets in, make sure your car is ready for cold mornings and snowy streets. Make sure your tires have plenty of tread for traction on slick riverside roads, and top off your washer fluid with a winter mix. You’ll want a clear windshield when you’re behind salt-spraying trucks in January.
