Glow Plugs are an essential component of your diesel engine. However, a faulty glow plug can go unnoticed or be neglected for quite some time; your truck will still start and run, so it’s an easy issue to overlook. At Joppa Transmission & Auto Service in Joppatowne, MD, we want you to know what to look for, and why you should be concerned with a bad glow plug.

I went to Joppa Transmission and Auto Services today for the first time and without an appointment. I asked that my brakes be checked and found the front needed replacement. The shop stated they could immediately replace the front brakes and completed the job quickly and professionally. They were honest about what needed to be repaired and replaced and didn't attempt to inflate the bill by saying the rear brakes were also defective. I was impressed by that. The staff and owners were kind and professional. I will be a future customer and highly recommend Joppa Transmission and Automotive! Paula McKoy

Exhaust systems are one of the most neglected aspects of most vehicles. Exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, and mufflers are exposed to heat, emissions, and road damage. While your exhaust system is fairly simple and straightforward, these conditions mean it is inherently prone to rust and damage. As a result, this system is often one of the first systems you will have trouble with on your car.
