As vehicles begin to age, they tend to require more repair and service as internal parts start to wear down and become less effective.
This is why preventative maintenance is so important with older vehicles. Regular service will keep your older vehicle reliable on the road and save you money over time on repairs.

Car batteries are often taken for granted until they simply stop working, and usually at the worst time. A dead battery can be an inconvenience at best and, at worst, may leave you stranded somewhere. That’s why it’s important to know when to replace your car battery.
Here are some of the most common signs of a dying battery:
- It’s been 3-5 years since your last replacement
- Engine turns over slowly when starting your car
- Dim headlights
- Corrosion around battery terminals and cables
- Problems with power windows or locks
When it comes to vehicle safety, brakes are at the top of the list. Brakes wear down over time, which is why a brake system inspection should be performed at least once a year.
August is Brake Safety Awareness Month, so now is the perfect time to have your brakes checked to make sure that they are in proper working condition before the end of summer and the start of fall.

"After having an oil change at a garage near my home in the East Bay I was warned that I had an oil leak that needed repair ASAP. My Golf TDI hasn't many miles on it so I decided to get a second opinion. I wanted an honest opinion and as I'm familiar with Rick and Mellow Motors from the past I decided to cross the bay. Long story short, it would have been an unnecessary expense. If you're looking for honest, quality repairs you won't be disappointed with Mellow Motors."

Despite their relatively easy operation, cars are actually very complex machines. Cars need fuel to operate, but what does the engine actually do with it?
In general, a standard internal combustion engine — what the majority of fuel-powered vehicles have today — uses air combined with gasoline to produce power. It is a complicated process that relies on many different parts and specific timing.

What is a tire rotation, and is it important?
A tire rotation is just that - it is the process of rotating your vehicle's tires or in other words, switching the placement of each tire. The purpose of this process is to simply make sure that they wear down evenly, which makes it important in terms of extending the overall life of your tires. A good rule of thumb is to have this performed every 6 months or so.
With shorter days and gloomy skies, you will most likely find yourself turning on your headlights more often. If you notice that your headlights look yellow or cloudy, headlight restoration is recommended.
We often underestimate the importance of having clear headlights - not only do these powerful beams let you see the road, they also let other motorists see you!
Whether you're a seasoned driver or new behind the wheel, there are certain things that every driver should know that they don't teach you in Driver's Ed - how to check tire pressure, how to check tire tread, how to jump-start a car, how to change a tire, and more.
What are some other things you wish you were taught when learning how to drive?
When winter arrives, the last thing you want breaking down is your car's heater and defroster.
Not only is a frosty car inconvenient—it's also dangerous. Heat is needed to remove ice and fog build-up on your windshield. Without a working heater, your ability to see the road clearly can be severely hindered.
If you notice that your heater is faulty or doesn't work as efficiently as it used to, it's time to have it fixed!
During the month of October, The Car Care Council recommends that car owners follow its Fall Car Care Month checklist and inspect their vehicles before the temperatures drop and the weather begins to change. It’s a small investment of time and money to help avoid the cost and hassle of a breakdown during the colder months ahead.

Is it bad to drive your car if it doesn’t have a gas cap?
While it isn’t a major issue if caught early on, you don’t want to continue driving without a gas cap for an extended period of time. You’ll lose gas and debris and moisture can get into the fuel tank, causing performance and fuel efficiency issues over time.
It’s inexpensive to fix, so take care of a lost, missing, or broken gas cap!

This is your vehicle’s oil pressure warning light. While it may look like a genie in a bottle, it’s actually an image of an old fashioned oil can.
It indicates that your car is either low on oil or your oil pump isn’t circulating enough fluid. This is a critical warning light, since driving with low oil can quickly damage your vehicle’s engine.
As the days get shorter, it becomes increasingly important to check that your vehicle’s wipers and lights are all in proper working order.
You may not be able to see from the driver’s seat if a light isn’t working, so take the time to test all exterior lights and replace any if needed. Also, test your wiper blades and replace them if they skip, smear, squeak, or appear to be dried out or frayed.

You may not see them, or know much about them, but engine belts are always working to keep your vehicle moving. Losing a belt can mean immediate trouble for the engine and a breakdown for you.
To avoid being stranded, the non-profit Car Care Council recommends that motorists review their car's owner’s manual to ensure that belts are inspected and replaced at the proper intervals.
Driving in wet conditions can cause several issues, including lowered visibility or the need for longer braking distances. It can also cause your car to hydroplane.
