Great Job! Replaced a leaky water pump in our vehicle. I called them on a Tuesday late afternoon, and asked for a estimate what the replacement cost would be, not seeing the vehicle he quoted me a price, which seemed low to me, but it was just a guess. Asked when could it be done, they said bring it in on Thursday morning. Dropped the vehicle off with them, they had it done by early afternoon, and were even cheaper than the estimate that was given. Great place, great prices, great work done, very fast and very helpful and friendly workers. This will be my new go to place for auto repair!

If you’ve owned a vehicle long, particularly one with a few miles on it, you have probably encountered a peculiar smell that grabbed your attention. Scents that you encounter while driving (emanating from your vehicle, not the horse farm down the road) are indicators of your vehicle's health and often the first warning that something may be wrong. Schaeffer Automotive in Huntingburg has assembled this list to prepare for you for the next time you smell something odd, so you’ll know what’s going on next time you notice a funny smell.

At Schaeffer Automotive in Huntingburg, IN, we know that transmissions are witchcraft to most people.

Our trained technicians at Schaeffer Automotive want to keep you informed so you are aware of what to look out for.

Sluggish. Squealing. Unreliable. Vibrating. If any of these descriptors fit your vehicle’s recent behavior, it just might be trying to tell you something – like it’s time for a tune-up.

Today’s vehicles differ significantly from their decades-old brethren that required a tune-up every 10,000 or 20,000 miles. With newer vehicles, it’s increasingly common for manufacturer-recommended service intervals to stretch to 100,000 miles before certain maintenance items, such as replacing the spark plugs, should be completed.
