Everything we do at Jim Shorkey Auto Group stems from our motto, Love the Customer, Love the Team, Keep it Very Very Very Humble. Our team strives to follow this throughout every piece of the car buying process for the most part of this business, you, the customer! Love the Customer Without you, we would not be able to come in day in and day out to do what we love! Our sales team strives to keep the customer at the forefront of their mind throughout the entire shopping experience. We work to find you your dream vehicle and want to create a lasting memory at our store from the moment you walk through the door. From the first phone call to the time we hand over the keys for your new ride, the customer is in charge. Every member of our team wants you to feel like a part of the family while getting Your Deal Your Way! Love the Team We are just that, a team! Without each other, we could not have expanded to our now 16 locations throughout PA, OH and GA. Each piece of this team is an integral part of the company’s overall success. Coworkers become like family and work hard to help each reach new milestones! Each team member likely spends more time with coworkers than they do at home, so the team has always been a major focus to company success. We can’t do this job alone and each member of the team is there to be a resource throughout our journey to success! Keep It Very Very Very Humble! Maybe one of the most important aspects of Jim Shorkey Auto Group, keeping it humble! As a team, we have done some amazing things and keep working toward bigger and better goals. However, we never want that to get ahead of us. Staying humble at the end of the day will help you continue growing and learning at an individual level, in turn helping the team grow and learn as well. If each member of the team comes into work striving to work harder and be better, we will be more and more successful. The moment we decide we’ve done enough growth; is the moment we fall back and lose the motto and backbone of what we do! At Jim Shorkey Auto Group, we’re always striving to make it the best customer experience you ever get! Stop by to visit our team to see what we mean firsthand. We can’t wait to help you find your DREAM car!

Are you headed on a summer road trip this year? Our fully staffed Parts and Service team are ready to help get your ride road-ready! Ask about the following service checks to ensure a fun and safe road trip: Oil Change Before you head out for your summer trip destination, be sure to get your oil changed. Oil changes are recommended for every 3,000 - 7,500 miles. Since you may be traveling long distances for a getaway, you’ll definitely want to have this checked and taken care of before leaving! Tire Pressure You’ll of course want your tires to be in perfect condition before you hit the road, so get your tire pressure checked during your next service appointment. This is a quick check that will give peace of mind and an easy ride! Cooling System During these hot summer months, the cooling system in your vehicle will be so important to your vehicle's overall health. The cooling system itself includes the radiator, fans, thermostat valve and a coolant pump. A quick service check for this system could be essential to keep your summertime trip cool! Air Conditioning Another important system to check is your air conditioning. A road trip could feel ten times longer without your AC this time of year! While most don’t normally think about checking on this feature, you may want to consider it this time. We hope these quick tips will help make this year’s summer getaways go off without a hitch! Be sure to schedule your next service appointment with Jim Shorkey Auto Group! We have 16 locations and a great team of service technicians who can’t wait to help you out! Schedule now!

Warmer weather and more sunshine can only mean one thing! Spring is on its way! Now is the time to get your vehicle ready for the upcoming season. Here are some service checks we recommend making sure your vehicle is in top condition. Cabin Air Filter This filter for your vehicle is very important and often ignored, but certainly shouldn’t be as we transition from Winter to Spring. This filter is inside the dash of the vehicle and filters the air that comes from outside to the inside of the vehicle. The cabin air filter should be checked during every oil change, as a standard and should be replaced every 10,000 – 15,000 miles. So, as the seasons change, be sure to have your cabin air filter checked to keep the air you breathe inside your vehicle safe. Air Filter Another important check for you to consider as we approach Spring is for your air filter. The air filter allows your car to breathe. The filter prevents any insects, dust, particles, and other debris from getting to the car’s engine. Also, this also ensures that there is a good mix of air and fuel to keep up vehicle performance. Therefore, this is important to keep clean so that your vehicle can continue running in top condition. A/C System Since we have been so used to the cold weather, our A/C has likely not been used in months. Be sure to have your A/C system checked when the warm weather arrives! You’re A/C may need a recharge to help keep you cool this Spring. Fuel System Last but not least, is a fuel system service. This is done to clean out the injectors and give you better fuel mileage. This type of service check usually includes the fuel pump, fuel filter or fuel injectors, although it could vary.
