All About Rising Sun Auto Repair

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 16:52:58 GMT

When it comes to car repairs, we know you want to take your vehicle to someone who can be trusted- and that’s what Rising Sun Auto Repair here in Bozeman is all about.

Our shop is dedicated to maximizing the life of your Toyota and Lexus vehicles while providing honest vehicle repairs and maintenance that will not only keep drivers safe on the road but will also create personal relationships that grow through trust and an understanding that auto repair isn’t just about making a living- it’s also about community.

The History of Rising Sun Auto Repair

After working for two Toyota dealerships for 22 years starting in 1984 and becoming a Toyota master certified technician, Keith Garcia decided he wanted to have a more fulfilling experience. One where he could actually connect with the owners of vehicles and communicate with them about their cars directly. Fueled with frustration over not being able to discuss details with customers in his previous employment, Keith set out with the goal to create a business that would treat people like people, and not just another project to work on.

Our newly updated lobby

That’s when Rising Sun Auto Repair was born in July 15th of 2003.

Starting out as a one-man team, Keith dove into his business headfirst and really started focusing on personal relationships within his shop.

As can be imagined, this honesty and dedication kept bringing people back, and over time Rising Sun Auto Repair was able to go from a one-man operation to a fully-staffed shop that can support over seven families! With his son Peter by his side, Keith is excited to see Rising Sun grow through the generations as his grandson, Bear, is already talking about joining the family business (and he’s only 7).

But growing the business within the family isn’t all Rising Sun Auto Repair is excited about!

Averaging around 70 vehicles a week, we have been able to assist thousands of individuals with their Toyotas- and ⅔ of those are familiar faces that continue to return and trust us with their repairs.

“We owe everything to Bozeman and the Gallatin community. We are sincerely grateful and humbled knowing that what we get to do is a privilege. It is our goal to not take anything for granted and we are blessed to be trusted with your vehicles.”

-Keith Garcia

About the Rising Sun Auto Repair Team

Here at Rising Sun, it is our top priority to provide each customer with the best care we have to offer. That’s why we hold our mechanics extremely accountable for their work and encourage them to communicate with customers in order to take care of their vehicle’s needs in an efficient and straightforward process.

Keith makes it a point to remind the team that “each interaction is about developing quality, long-term relationships with every owner of the vehicles we work on”. This commitment to open communication is what makes Rising Sun Auto Repair so in-tune with our community and we do our best to maintain that mindset!

When you come to work with one of our mechanics, you can anticipate a well-rounded experience that will leave you with clear answers and results. Each member of the team has their own strengths and they work together to make sure every job is done to the top of their abilities.

“With younger technicians, we’re maintaining our education and skills. Not to mention our crew gets to learn from my past experiences.” -Keith Garcia

Rising Sun Auto Repair Goals and What to Expect in the Future

So far, our growth has been rising with the demands of an expanding Bozeman. As the needs of the community continue to increase, our schedule will expand to accommodate those needs! We are incredibly thankful and excited for the progress and opportunities that we’ve had so far, and we can’t wait to see what the future has in store. According to Keith, “as long as we can maintain personal relationships and quality repairs, we’ll continue to grow with our community”.

When it comes to how Rising Sun Auto Repair is giving back to Bozeman, we only donate to local charities- that way, you know exactly where your money is going and how it is being spread throughout our community. We are passionate about maintaining a humble focus here at our auto shop, and we aim to continue that into the rest of 2021 and beyond.

Thank you for being a part of our journey!

ADAS What To Know!

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 16:48:48 GMT

ADAS is an abbreviation for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. ADAS consists of Forward Facing Cameras, Radar Sensors, Ultrasonic Sensors, and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) strategically placed around your vehicle to decrease the chances of an accident, improve vehicle safety, and driver comfort. They also use an analysis program to analyze the Toyota / Lexus surroundings to identify potential hazards and aid the driver in various ways.

Here are the most common applications for ADAS

ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control) : Adjusts the vehicle speed to maintain a safe distance with the vehicles ahead
AVM(Around View Monitoring) : Provides 360°, Bird’s- Eye view to help drivers park more easily
RCW(Rear Collision Warning) : Warns the driver of vehicles coming close to the rear of the vehicle
LDW(Lane Departure Warning) : Warns driver when the vehicle drifts out of their lane
APA(Automated Parking Assist) : Provides audible, visual, or hepatic obstruction warnings during low- speed parking maneuvers.
LIDAR(Light Imaging Detection) : Detects objects in the vehicle vicinity to create a 3D map of objects and surroundings
NVS(Night Vision System) : Improves a driver’s vision in the darkness or even in poor weather
BDS(Blind Spot Detection) : Detects and warns the driver of vehicles in either the drivers or passengers rear corners
PD(Pedestrian Detection) : alerts the driver to the presence on a pedestrian in front of the vehicle
TSR(Traffic Sign Recognition) : Recognizes traffic sign information and visually relays it to the driver

It is important to know when an ADAS Calibration is needed. An easy way to remember is that if the sensor’s are disrupted in ANY WAY, an ADAS recalibration is required.

Here is a short list of when to get your ADAS recalibrated.

After any collision or after collision repair
Windshield or side view mirror replacement
Any modifications done to the suspension or after an alignment
Sensor or Mounting bracket replacements
If there is any related Diagnostic Trouble Code is pulled with a scanner
Any updates that arrive from Toyota on the TSB (Technical Service Bulletin)

ADAS Calibration does require a professional with the proper equipment and knowledge to properly calibrate your Toyota / Lexus. It is best to have it performed by an authorized and a certified technician, Rising Sun Auto Repair is offering ADAS recalibration for a limited vehicle spread such as Toyota, Lexus, Subaru, Honda, Acura, Hyundai, Kia. All other vehicles will have to be taken care of at your local dealership or preferred mechanic.
