There are multiple types of tires on the market for almost every car, truck, or SUV. Once you decide it's time to replace your tires, the choice can be overwhelming. The type of tire you want depends on a variety of factors, from climate to how you drive. At Hipps Automotive in Simpsonville, SC, our technicians have been trained to help you make that choice. Here’s a short rundown of common street tires that will suit your needs.
If you drive a lightweight car, truck, or SUV, the torque converter you have installed is probably just fine. For those of you with more heavy duty applications, like high horsepower setups or towing rigs, the stock converter may not be enough. At Hipps Automotive in Simpsonville, SC, we can help with that.
Manual transmissions aren’t necessarily simple, but they’re much easier to understand in concept than their automatic counterparts. You’re probably aware there are gears in manual transmissions - but there’s a little more to it than that. Here are some of the major components you’ll find in a manual transmission.
Our Simpsonville drivers have been experiencing issues with their transmissions and there are a few things that we here at Hipps Automotive feel are important to know so that you are more comfortable and confident if you are, indeed experiencing a transmission problem of any kind. First, if you drive a vehicle manufactured in the past few decades, there’s a good chance your transmission has a variety of sensors attached to it which monitors all kinds of things - fluid pressure, vehicle speed, temperature, air intake at the engine, and so on. The first thing to check is your Transmission Sensor, which is a much more affordable fix than replacing your transmission!
Your tires are obviously important. However, it’s often underappreciated how much of a difference they make in the ride quality of your car, truck, or SUV, and what they can tell you about the condition of your vehicle. At Hipps Automotive in Simpsonville, SC, we like to keep you well informed on what your vehicle is telling you, and how to keep it in good shape. Your tires have a lot to do with that.

At Hipps Automotive in Simpsonville, SC, we’re here to make sure your car, truck, or SUV stops as it should.
What condition are your tires in? At Hipps Automotive in Simpsonville, SC, we want to make sure you can tell. A simple visual inspection is all you need - it’s easy if you know what to look for.
