Photo by Kumpan Electric on Unsplash A Quick Check on Your Battery With the warmer weather quickly approaching, it might be time that you start thinking ahead when it comes to your car. Your car is a great investment, and we know you want to keep it going for as long as possible. The battery inside your car is very important because it powers all the electrical systems, such as the headlights and the entertainment system. Most importantly, it is the way your car powers itself.   When you think about your car battery, you probably don't consider changing it out periodically because we are accustomed to giving it a couple of years before doing so. However, sometimes things happen, and we need to get a new battery faster than anticipated. The cause of this can be for several reasons, but most of the time, it is because of harsh weather conditions that could have caused faste ... read more

We hope you are looking forward to better weather and a wonderful summer to follow.   At LK’s Auto Repair, we want to remind you that Daylight Savings Time is upon us once again.

But how do you bring home romance in a pandemic?   For some, Valentine’s Day is just a ploy to sell cards, but culturally, it’s how Americans measure where they are in their relationships– puppy love, still in love, forever in love, or if the love has gone out of everything. It’s OK to be cynical about it, but Valentine’s Day exists and matters to most people.   Bremerton used to have a lot more to do for Valentine’s Day. But the pandemic has narrowed our options. There’s less to do with Harborside Fountain Park’s fountains down for repairs and Kitsap Forest Theater closed for the winter season. Some of the most exciting restaurants closed down in the pand ... read more

Everything is changing, and we’re in for a bumpy ride in the next eight years of car evolution.    There’s been so much innovation since the 2008 market crash. Some auto manufacturers have kept their heads down low, trying to survive by staying with the pack. A few others, like Ford, have managed to increase efficiency and improve their product line. For all car manufacturers, the writing’s clearly on the wall– soon, many states will stop allowing gas stations to be built or new gas cars to be sold.   We’re looking at the future of sports cars and trying to extrapolate the market’s market by 2030 based on the anticipated market influencers. For example, we know that self-driving cars will need to &lsq ... read more
