Obviously, your brakes are pretty important. At GC Automotive & Performance in GC Automotive & Performance, we are here to make sure your car, truck, or SUV stops like it should.

What condition are your tires in? At GC Automotive & Performance in Jamesburg & Marlboro Township, NJ, 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.

When you think about diesel engines, you probably think about large trucks and machinery, and maybe a few oddball cars over the years. But how long has diesel really been around, and why is it used the way it is today? GC Automotive & Performance in Jamesburg & Marlboro Township, NJ has the answers you need to become more in-tune with your diesel truck and engine.

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 GC Automotive & Performance in Jamesburg & Marlboro Township, NJ, we can help with that.

Are your fleet vehicles equipped with four-wheel or all-wheel drive? More and more, companies are moving towards vehicles equipped with one or the other - they’re safer and more useful, particularly in inclement weather or less than ideal conditions.

Failed engine mounts are an irritating issue to live with causing your car or truck to vibrate and you don't know why. At GC Automotive & Performance in Jamesburg & Marlboro Township, NJ, we can help, no matter what type of car, truck, or SUV you drive and it is an easy issue to detect on a test drive.

There are a few indicators your engine mounts need to be replaced. For one, you can do a visual inspection, if they’re accessible enough - if they looked cracked, smashed, or dry-rotted, it’s probably time for new ones. If the engine visibly shakes while it’s running, engine mounts are also likely the culprit. However, if you are like most drivers you simply get in and drive on down the road until something is different or a light comes on! Then you call our shop for help!
