Your Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN, is essentially your car’s fingerprint. In its entirety, it is specific only to your car. Each car has its own unique VIN number and can be decoded to provide manufacturing and identification information on any vehicle on the road. Date of manufacture, manufacturer, vehicle type, where it was made, and options such as engine and transmission type, whether a car is a two or four-door, and a multitude of other specifications can be gleaned from a VIN number. Essentially, a VIN number will tell you exactly what a car is and where it came from, without even having to see the car.

Are you driving around with a loud scraping sound coming from beneath your vehicle? Chances are, a piece of your splash shielding has come loose under your car. At Bird's Towing & Automotive Repair Inc in Wrightstown, we can have that annoying sound taken care of in no time.

At Bird's Towing & Automotive Repair Inc in Wrightstown, NJ, we understand that there are endless ways a transmission can sound, behave, and feel, depending on what type of vehicle it’s in, what type of transmission it is, and the state of the vehicle’s repair. Sometimes, when people buy a different vehicle, they notice it doesn’t act the same as their last vehicle, which leads them to believe there is a problem.

Was shopping at the commissary and after l loading my truck, went to start it and lo and behold and much to my dismay, the truck wouldn't start. It would turn over, but it wouldn't catch. Seemed to be a fuel problem. On top of that, it was raining. Commissary employee recommended Birds Towing. They were out within 15 minutes and to their garage in 20 minutes. . After leaving and later that night, I got a call that when they went to look at the vehicle, it started and did so every time they attempted to do so. Diagnosis was a fuel pump. Vehicle is 21 years old and the fuel pump had never been changed. Starting with the tow operator (Anthony) to the owner (Bill), I can't say enough about the promptness, courtesy and professionalism of everyone involved. If I lived in the neighborhood, I would have no issues at all using this business. But seeing as how I don't, I highly recommend Birds Towing & Service Center to those who are in need or are looking for a trusted mechanic/garage!

In the old days, when your headlight burned out you just replaced the entire thing with a new glass bulb. Modern headlights are plastic assemblies, with a bulb inserted through the back. What this means, is that the plastic lens that light shines through never gets replaced, and eventually will begin to oxidize and deteriorate due to time, weather, and heat from your bulb. Today you will learn when it’s time to fix or replace your headlight assemblies, what options you have in doing so, and what the benefits are.
