Getting Repairs Right in the Service Department

As a young man, I was curious about how things worked. I took a lot of things apart around my house, much to the frustration of my parents. Many of the things I took apart never worked again.

Winter Prep You’ll Appreciate in the Spring

The dog days of summer are often a hot, sticky mess here in Indiana. But the day of the SweetCars lunch was a pleasant surprise because of the nice weather. This led to a fantastic turnout of the area’s great cars and the people who love them. As the newest member of the SweetCars service team, it was my first time attending this event.

Racing Out of the Comfort Zone

I hear all the time from my customers that “there’s nowhere around here to really drive my car to its full potential!” While there are some areas in northern Indiana where you can go for a spirited drive (at or below the posted speed limit, of course), it is tough to find track events that don’t require you to be an experienced racer. Fear not; we’ve found an event for
