Your check engine light may come on for a variety of reasons, but it’s never a good idea to ignore it.

When the weather gets cold, the last thing you want is a dead car battery. Here are some tips to keep it running better during winter.
Find a mechanic you can trust so you don’t ever have to questions “unnecessary repairs” and end up with a more costly repair.
At Automotive Revival, we LOVE giving the Pre-Purchase Eyeball to any car someone is considering buying.
And yes, snow, or at least all-season tires, are a great thing to have during the frosty months of winter. It doesn’t matter how well your car runs if you can’t keep it on the road, eh? And if you plan on taking a trip to or through the mountains, they’re now required in Colorado.
Behold the 1969 Jeepster Commando — is she a beauty or what?
Every once in awhile, I like to showcase a really cool car that has rolled through our garage. And this summer, we were lucky enough to work on this baby. The customer inherited the Jeepster from her dad, who bought it new. After being stored in garage for many years, she wanted us to get it roadworthy again, so we did. Because this beauty definitely belongs on the road for everyone to see.
Not gonna lie — I definitely had fun test driving it after doing all the updated maintenance. What a joy to drive. See, even Dean Martin got in on some Jeepster action.
And when the customer got her Jeepster back, we are happy to say that she was pleased! Here is her Google review: “Dave is incredible to work with; so passionate and great at what he does! Our vehicle is better than ever and we will definitely be using Automotive Revival in the future.”
So if you have a classic baby that needs a bit of love, please call us as we love working on older cars and restoring them to glory days.
Last week, a customer and I were walking past a nearby business and I made a point to show him a vintage Ford truck in their lot. As I was gesturing to it, a gentleman pulled up and mentioned that it was his, and how he wants to get it fixed up.
I couldn’t believe my good fortune, and I had my business card in his hand like a lightning bolt.
He went on to say that he has a fleet of classic trucks for his catering businesses, and wanted to know if he could bring a new project of theirs to us to go over and get it back on the road. How could I refuse?
The next morning, he showed up with the truck pictured: a 1961 Divco service truck. It doesn’t get any cooler than this, but maybe it can. This truck, although an antique, is set on a modern Chevrolet truck platform, and with a bit of tweaking here and there, will be the coolest truck you will ever grab lunch from, hands down.
Happy Motoring!
