🔥 "Why is synthetic oil the best choice for hot weather driving?" Texas summers don’t just test your AC—they push your engine to its limits. Conventional oil breaks down faster, while synthetic oil stays strong, keeping your engine protected in extreme heat. At Ric Henry’s Auto Service in San Angelo, we recommend synthetic for better performance, longer engine life, and improved fuel efficiency. Watch for warning signs like dark oil or engine noise, and let us help you make the switch! 🚘 Because your engine deserves a summer that doesn’t suck.

By NaTasha Brand May 24, 2025
💬 "Is a brake fluid flush really necessary?" The short answer? Yes. Your brakes rely on hydraulic fluid to turn a light pedal press into stopping power. But over time, heat, moisture, and debris degrade the fluid—leading to spongy brakes, corrosion, and even failure. At Ric Henry’s Auto Service in San Angelo, TX, we recommend flushes every 30,000 miles or 2 years to keep your brakes sharp. Watch for warning signs like a soft pedal, leaks, or dashboard warnings, and let our experts handle the rest. 🚘 Because stopping should never be optional.
