Automotive News & Information - Nott's Automotive

Simple service visits can discover all kinds of things you would think are obvious but we simply get in and drive! If the lights come on and the car starts....No Problem. Then we see things like this here at Nott's Automotive in Sarasota and we have to ask...When did you hit something and WHAT was it. The typical answer is WHAT??? They've already forgotten the incident an don't realize that a bent rim could case all kinds of problems. Then we ask...Does it pull a little when you are driving?

No Cold Air? This looks like a really clogged up home A/C filter right? It's an evaporator that on a vehicle is meant to allow air to flow through it and cool down your vehicle's A/C unit allowing it to work properly. This, however, is a seriously plugged up evaporator with very little air flow coming through! The A/C Evaporator did not get this way overnight, providing warning signals along the way such as the car wasn't cooling enough.

Great service. - Tim H. (5 star review on Google)

Honest, fair-priced, local auto repair shop. Nott's has taken great care of our Volvo XC90 and Chevy Silverado for several years now. Highly recommended. - T. V. (5 star review on Yelp)

One doesn’t often say “I had the best experience at the auto mechanic’s yesterday” but low and behold, I am. Nott's was recommended to me by a friend, and they didn’t disappoint. Not only did it have the feeling of a family business, but I felt like I had been going there for years, even though yesterday was the first time. Super friendly, half the cost of the dealership, and I picked up my vehicle feeling confident instead of frustrated and ripped off. Thank you, Notts. The whole experience was a pleasure, from the first call to the vehicle pickup. - G. N. (5 star review on Google)

4-wheel and all-wheel drive trucks, jeeps and SUV's are becoming very popular, and they have some practical advantages but they do require different maintenance. Your vehicle has to be ready to take on the challenges of your driving style or terrain in the area and we want to ensure that you keep those service bills down and avoid any costly repairs by being pro-active.

While your exhaust system helps reduce noise output from your vehicle, it also significantly reduces harmful emissions from being released into the air. When your muffler and exhaust system functions properly, it significantly reduces your vehicle's harmful impact on the environment. It also significantly improves the functionality of your vehicle and improve fuel mileage for your car, truck, SUV or Jeep.

An exhaust system is made up of numerous parts that work together to rid your car of the exhaust gases that are created during the combustion cycle, as your engine burns fuel. Each part of your exhaust system has an important role to play in removing exhaust gases away from the engine as quickly as possible, allowing another cycle of combustion to begin. The more quickly and efficiently an exhaust system does this the more efficiently an engine can run. The main parts of an exhaust system are an exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, exhaust pipes and the muffler.
