- I guess I'm not the only one who broke down on the PA Turnpike!! LOL Well, Blough's Automotive to the rescue! I received fast and friendly, and most importantly, HONEST service! It wasn't as bad or expensive as I originally thought. Jason and Jake (their pet dog) replaced a burned out AC belt. They could've overcharged me, but they didn't!! Happy Holidays, Blough's guys!!!

  -Dorothea G.
- Saved us for sure. Towed here from the turnpike and glad we were. Fixed us up and got us on our way. Very knowledgeable and fair prices. I would recommend to anyone in the area. Thank you again!
  
  -Roger T.
- Very nice people who helped get me back on the road after a mid-roadtrip breakdown. Made a stressful situation much easier to deal with.
  
  -Matthew W.
- Towed here from the Turnpike. They were honest, nice, and got me back on the road quickly! Highly recommend them!
  
  -Bill B.
- We cannot thank this honest business enough. They immediately helped us on our vacation travels as we had unexpected car trouble. Professional and knowledgeable and very kind. Thank you!!
  
  -Mary Kay M.
- As most other comments on here can relate, we broke down on the Penn Turnpike. Got a tow to Bloughs who patched our vehicle quickly and even have it a quick look to make sure there were no other issues before leaving. Great business that I would highly recommend!!!
  
  -Ross C.
- Blew a radiator hose on the turnpike and had to get the vehicle towed to a local shop. Chose Bloughs Automotive at random. What a great choice! Super friendly. Fit us right in and didn't try to sell us more than we needed. Honest and friendly. What more could you ask for?
  
  -Christopher M.
- I can't say enough good things about this place. I had to stay overnight in Somerset due to car trouble. They got me in right away as a walk in. I needed a pump for my washer fluid so I could continue to travel in the snow. They couldn't find one for me, so they went to a salvage yard to get one to help me out. Their prices were honest and fair. They were kind and very accommodating during my wait. I would recommend to anyone!!
  
  -Michelle C.
- After breaking down on the Turnpike on a Sunday afternoon, I got towed to Blough's Automotive for diagnosis and repair. I'm from Ohio, and I was traveling alone in a Lexus 450H. This was the kind of situation that you'd almost expect to be taken advantage of. Instead, I received prompt and fantastically professional service from Jason at Blough's Automotive. Jason was able to diagnose my car trouble quickly and accurately. He secured the parts necessary and got me back on the road within a few hours. The fee? ABSOLUTELY REASONABLE! Had I taken my car to my dealership, no doubt the repair would have cost me twice as much. GREAT JOB, efficient service, reasonable fees! Highly recommend!

Vehicle tips
- According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
- The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
- Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
- Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
- Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
- A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
- Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
- Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
- Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
- Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
- Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
- Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
- Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
- Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
- Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
- Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
- Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
- Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
- Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
- Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
