When your car, truck, or SUV is burning oil, it can be frustrating and costly. There are numerous reasons an engine will burn oil - these range from an altogether worn out engine to a simple part replacement. At T&A Truck Specialist, Inc in Tampa, FL we want to keep you informed, here's what you need to know about why your engine might be burning oil.

Your fleet or commercial truck works hard, every day. Most commercial vehicles are heavy, and constantly under load. As a result, your brakes will inevitably develop issues over time. At T&A Truck Specialist, Inc in Tampa, FL, we can fix that.
