Lamb's Automotive Inc Is Permanently Closed

We are very sorry to report, that after 40 years shared with our customers, Lamb’s Automotive Inc. has permanently closed. A number of factors have recently converged and contributed to our closing:   

1. Recent issues with Lake County Building and Zoning required alterations that we could not perform.  
2. The impending sale of the building, that we are located in, has restricted our future within the building.
3. After already being shorthanded, last February we lost a technician due to health reasons and have been unable to find more than part time replacements, in spite of extensive and expensive efforts in recruiting.
4. My own personal health issues, at age 67, have restricted my activity in the shop.

We are very proud of the honest and quality service that we have offered, the relationships we have formed, and the bonds we have made with our customers over the years. We have customers that have come to us for 3 generations, and we thank you all for your loyalty and your trust.  

As our part in that trust relationship, we felt an obligation to find another shop in the area to take care of our valued customers, so that you can continue to have that same peace of mind when getting your car repaired. We have found such a shop. They are local, honest, offer excellent service, and have a pricing structure similar to ours. They will not be selling you items that you don’t need, and will help establish priorities on those services that you do need. They will have access to your vehicle history with us. They have also agreed to honor any warranties on past services that we have performed and have even extended that warranty. I would like to introduce you to:

When you call them for an appointment, please tell that that John Lamb sent you, and they promise to take special care of you. If any special circumstances arise that I can help with, David and Ron at Advanced VTech, know how to reach me.  

Best wishes to all of you, and we have enjoyed our relationships with you.

The suspension system impacts many aspects of your vehicle, from ride comfort to vehicle handling. Whether you want to enhance your vehicle’s performance or enjoy a smoother drive, review these tips for choosing the right suspension for your driving needs. Learn About the Different Types of Suspensions Start your search by familiarizing yourself with the different types of automotive suspensions. Independent suspensions, such as MacPherson strut and double wishbone setups, can improve ride quality. Alternatively, solid axle suspensions provide durability and load-bearing capabilities. Understanding these options will help you match the suspension type to your driving needs. Consider the Way You Drive Another tip is to find a match for your driving habits. For example, a performance-oriented suspension with stiff springs and shocks may be best if you enjoy spirited driving and frequently take corners at high speeds. Conversely, a standard suspension is better if you primarily use your car for daily commuting and long highway drives. Evaluating your driving style will guide you toward a suspension that enhances your experience behind the wheel. Determine Your Car’s Weight You must also find a suspension system that supports your vehicle’s weight. Every suspension has a weight rating, and ignoring it can damage your vehicle and put you in danger. Check the manufacturer’s specifications to confirm that the suspension you’re considering will tolerate your vehicle and additional cargo or modifications. Think About Where You Travel When looking at suspensions, you should consider where you drive your vehicle. If you frequently take rough trails or uneven surfaces, an off-road suspension with increased ground clearance and durable components will serve you well. On the other hand, you should turn to a standard suspension if you mainly drive on city streets and highways. Tailoring your suspension to your driving environment enhances safety and driving pleasure. Make It Work With Your Budget While you may feel tempted to splurge on top-tier suspension systems, keep your budget in mind. High-end suspensions offer superior performance and durability but come at a premium price. Conversely, you may be able to find more affordable options that provide substantial improvements over stock suspensions. Assess your financial situation and set a realistic budget to get the best value without compromising on quality. Considering these factors will help you choose a suspension that makes your driving experience more comfortable and enjoyable. If you need to repair or replace your current system, Advanced Vehicle Technology Services can help. With our suspension service , you’ll enjoy smooth rides in your car once again and have more control while steering.
