Some car care advice for all you guys out there. If your wife or partner tells you they hear something wrong with their vehicle, don't brush them off. Make sure you drive the vehicle and have it thoroughly checked out.

Recently we had a van in our shop that started smoking from the rear axle after an extended trip. It turned out that a worn bearing had caused major damage to the axle shaft and it had to be replaced. The wife had told her husband before the trip that she heard a funny noise and something was wrong. He drove the van and said it was fine. It was an expensive repair that could have been avoided - take note guys!
