What does “remanufactured” mean, and is it something you want? At Hoff's Automotive, Inc. in Hackettstown, NJ, we strive for great service and a job well done. Part of that is equipping you with the knowledge you need to understand what’s going on when a repair is necessary on your car, truck or SUV. “Remanufactured” is a word that you’ll encounter in the automotive world. Many people perceive that to mean “used”, but that isn’t the case - here’s what you need to know.

Automatic transmissions aren’t well understood outside of specialists like our technicians here at Hoff's Automotive, Inc. in Hackettstown, NJ. While it would be impossible to teach you enough to make you a transmission expert in a quick article, what we can do is give you the fundamental knowledge you need to have a good idea of what your transmission is doing and how it works. Being able to understand how your transmission works will help you identify any problems that may arise to prevent further wear and tear on your vehicle.

When driving around town, your vehicle's engine needs clean air to burn the fuel – and it needs a lot. In fact, a typical vehicle needs about 216,000 gallons of air for every tank of gas. All that air passes through a filter that catches the dust and dirt. Eventually, the filter gets completely full, and because the filter can only hold so much, dirt starts getting through. At Hoff's Automotive, Inc. in Hackettstown, we want to help you get the best air quality in your vehicle, but first, we want to explain the process of where this dirty air is going.
