Motor Check To Be Tested Here At Dewberry Store
Starting Monday morning May 4 the Dewberry Auto Supplies on Shenango and West Washington Streets will host Havoline Ol Company representatives to conduct the free Wanson Motor test all month. The x ray style test diagnoses motor condition without disassembly and shows proper grade of oil for each car. Many motors use improper oil grades and the test reveals the correct fit. Factory charts cannot capture individual motor needs, so each engine receives tailored attention. Automobile owners are invited to stop by the Dewberry store next week for a free car test.
