Obviously, your brakes are pretty important. At Ponci's Diesel Center in Fortuna, CA, we are here to make sure your car, truck, or SUV stops as it should.  Your brake system is made of many components that all have to work correctly for your brakes to operate seamlessly.

Are you having trouble rolling one or more of your windows down? Worse yet, are you having trouble rolling them up? Either way, at Ponci's Diesel Center in Fortuna, we have the answers you’re looking for.

self-driving car

At Ponci's Diesel Center in Fortuna, cars are our passion, so naturally, we like to keep up with new technology on the market. At the moment, surprisingly the current trend is moving towards a goal you may not expect; self-driving vehicles. You’ve probably heard about self-driving cars a little bit here and there on the news, but it likely still seems somewhere in the realm of science fiction to you. However, the reality is that self-driving cars are on the way and maybe here sooner than you think. Already, almost all major automobile manufacturers are dumping billions of dollars into research and development for self-driving cars, and even companies like Uber are jumping on board. 

Transmissions rarely go out without a warning. Typically it takes a while, during which time there will be observable symptoms. Sometimes it’s an easy fix and sometimes it isn’t, but it’s always better to catch an issue and get it repaired as soon as possible. Ponci's Diesel Center in Fortuna, CA has provided you with a few things to watch out for.
