The Holidays are Here
It's the time of year to reflect on the good things we have. I believe that, whether large or small, there is always something to be grateful for. Whether it be gratitude for the sunshine, a friendly stranger, the people you love, or your favorite mechanic ;). Now is the time of year that we slow down, and enjoy what good things we have. This holiday season, I hope that all of you are surrounded by things that bring you joy. May you all have love, peace, and full bellies this Thanksgiving.

Heading South for the winter?
Heading South for the winter comes with its own challenges. At Petty Motorworks, we have you covered. You should have your vehicle checked before you leave and consider a Battery Tender to prevent you vehicles battery from going dead while you are away. We have Battery Tenders in stock and they are ready to be installed. The Battery Tender and a complete Vehicle Health Report are less then a battery replacement so give us a call today.

Napa Easy Pay Financing
Napa Gold Certified Auto Care Center
I
am proud to say that we were the first Napa Gold Certified Auto Care
Center in New Jersey and that our work carries a 3 year 36,000 mile
Nation Wide Warranty. It is very difficult to receive this certification and even a year after the program was released there is still only a handful of Gold Certified shops in New Jersey.
Computer Programming
Does your car shift strangely or is it hard to start, maybe the fuel efficiency is off, all of these things plus many more can be related to an updated computer program for you vehicle. Most vehicles today have more than twenty computer modules, and most can have the software updated just like your computer at home. At Petty Motorworks we have been bringing on more and more computer programming capabilities and we currently have the ability to do software updates and computer replacements on General Motors, Ford, Nissan, and Subaru and we are adding more and more as time goes on (soon to add Honda, Toyota, and Chrysler). So if you have a strange symptom that can not be explained, let us take a look and see if there is an update available that may address your concern.
Fun Facts
1. Historians have no record of turkey being eaten at the first Thanksgiving.
Instead, "ducks, geese, and swans" are believed to have been served to the English settlers and Native Americans.
2. Benjamin Franklin wished the turkey was the national bird.
In a letter to his daughter, Benjamin Franklin wrote,
"For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the
Representative of our Country...For the Truth the Turkey is in
Comparison a much more respectable Bird."
3. The first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade had Central Park Zoo animals.
Held in 1924, the first parade
included monkeys, bears, camels, and elephants borrowed from the
Central Park Zoo instead of the traditional character balloons we know
today.
4. The first professional Thanksgiving Day football game was played 1920.
A century ago, Thanksgiving Day fell on November 25 and there were six football games played, according to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
5. "Jingle Bells" was originally a Thanksgiving Day song.
Before becoming a Christmas anthem, "Jingle Bells" was an 1857 song titled "One Horse Open Sleigh," and its composer, James Pierpont, intended it to be a Thanksgiving Day song.
