Automotive News & Information - Clyde's Car & Light Truck Repair

Our fleet truck customers do not need to spend valuable time in the shop with transmission issues due that could have been avoided by servicing their fleet vehicles based on their owner's manual recommendations! Especially if it is simply changing a clogged filter, changing fluids or clutch issues! Our transmission technicians here at Clyde's Car & Light Truck Repair in Salisbury believe that service = saving high repair bills! Therefore, we believe in a proactive approach!

Transmission Cut to show you the inside of it

Nothing works if your transmission doesn't work! Simply put you are going nowhere without it and it is the one thing that both car and truck drivers alike never think twice about until it really acts up or they have no power or simply don't move forward. Most of us have a newer car or truck with an automatic transmission in it vs. a standard transmission so do not notice that it is slipping gears until the problem is really serious so the question is how do you get the most out of your transmission? The obvious answer is to take care of your transmission with scheduled service per your owner's manual recommendation but we have put together a simple checklist for our Salisbury drivers to help them become "transmission aware" as it were.

Sometimes it is EASY to see if your car or truck needs to come into our shop for professional repairs!
1. You see steam rising from the engine!
2. The Check Engine Light is on!
3. The engine starts, but there is an odor that is not right.
4. You hear grinding or thumping noises.

Good guys, great mechanics! - Ryan P. (5 star review on Google)

They did a most excellent job on our company van. They diagnosed the problem and ordered the parts. The only thing is that UPS lost the new part in shipping for a couple of weeks. Once UPS found the lost part, Clyde's had it back together very quickly and we were back on the road again. - Glenn K. (5 star review on Google)

Clyde's is the best place to have your car repaired. They try to work with in your schedule. if possible. They always back up their work, if there is a problem. I have been dealing with them for 20 years.

Your car data owned by manufacturers now

Newer Vehicles Generate as Much As 25GB of Data/Hour according to McKinsey. Now That is Extremely Interesting! It is also daunting as we now need to know "what data" right? You also want to know where it is going if anywhere and who owns the data? All interesting questions that we never thought about. Just get in and drive, choose a destination and if a light goes off in the dash you call us here at Clyde's Car & Light Truck Repair to schedule an appointment. We want our Salisbury drivers to be informed as always and able to make their choices based on having facts. This is a big change in the automotive-truck service industry and it really has not hit the news at all, so it is up to us to get you up-to-date and informed. Here are the facts and where you can find more information!
