What We See From Bowie Drivers
Bowie drivers put on serious highway mileage on US-50 and Route 301. Cars in this area tend to arrive with high odometer readings and the wear that comes with them: transmissions, cooling systems, suspension and tires.
Highway mileage is also why we see more windshield damage and more high-speed vibration complaints from Bowie than from areas closer to the shop.
