belt for vehicle

Your drive belts run everything - your AC, power steering, alternator, and water pump are all dependent on the belts that turn them. At Dempsey's Service Center, Inc. in Newark, our goal is to keep your truck maintained, so you’re never stuck out on the road. Drive belts are a critical part of that goal.

transmission fluid being poured into car

Our goal at Dempsey's Service Center, Inc. in Newark, DE is to provide you with the best transmission service possible. One way we do that is by helping you understand a little more about your transmission and the way it works. Knowledge about your vehicle and its systems allow you to catch problems when they arise and deal with them appropriately, saving you money and easing some of the stress of car ownership. You probably already know how to check your oil, and when to change it. Checking and maintaining transmission fluid is something people tend to understand far less about, however. Here’s what you need to know.

fleet of vehicles

At Dempsey's Service Center, Inc. in Newark, DE, we service all types of fleet vehicles and see many of the same problems come through the door again and again. Here are some easy early warning signs from our team here at Dempsey's Service Center, Inc., that signal your fleet vehicles are in need of maintenance soon. 

Turbo

Most commercial diesel engines these days are turbocharged. Turbos dramatically increase power and efficiency, particularly on diesel engines, which makes them a must-have item on engines that rely heavily on both. However, sometimes issues arise in turbo systems; at Dempsey's Service Center, Inc. in Newark, we can fix that.

wheel

At Dempsey's Service Center, Inc. in Newark, DE, we see our fair share of warning lights and dashboard notifications. If your ABS light is illuminated, here’s what you need to know.  First, it should be noted that the ABS light is supposed to illuminate for a few seconds after you turn the key, as part of a system test. If the light stays illuminated or comes on again randomly, there’s an issue somewhere that must be addressed.
