Did your check engine light come on? The most likely reason is a faulty oxygen sensor. They account for 40 percent of all check engine light related issues.
Roderick David Stewart, a British rock singer and songwriter, has rightly said, “Fast cars like Porsches and Ferraris - they are things of beauty.”
Overheating is a serious problem as it can damage your vehicle’s engine. If your car starts to overheat, shut the engine off immediately and have it towed to our auto repair facility.
Do you know that certain atmospheric issues can also cause your tires to deteriorate over time? For example, extreme hot temperatures can cause the rubber in your tires to wear and tear, leading to failure ultimately.
Being in tune with your car means more than harmonizing with the rhythms of the road. Because you know how your car should sound when you start, drive, and stop, if you hear things out of the ordinary, a notable problem could be developing. Let us conduct a diagnostic check.
Buying a used car? Whether it's from a dealer or a private transaction, make arrangements to have us inspect it before completing the deal. Unless the seller is willing to give you a warranty, it's "buyer beware."
Have your brakes started to squeak or squeal when you depress the brake pedal? That's an early warning sign that the brake pads have worn out and need to be replace. Don't delay having this done as it could lead to brake failure.
The life of the transmission of a vehicle is greatly reduced by overloads. Because overloading puts a lot of pressure on your vehicle, overheating occurs, which can lead to premature transmission failure.
If your mechanic needs to use an electric welder on your vehicle, he will need to unhook the battery first. If he fails to do this, there's a very good chance that the expensive engine control unit (ECU) will be irreparably damaged by the surge of electricity that will course through the car or truck.
For improved ride performance have gas-charged shocks installed rather than heavy-duty ones. They smooth out rough roads and increase steering stability and control when cornering.
Does your car looks like it is on a slope, even though the ground is flat? It means there’s a problem with the springs, coils, wheels, tires, stabilizer bars, or other suspension components. These are not issues to ignore.
Generally speaking, brake pads should be replaced at least every 30,000 miles, depending on the driving conditions. However, if you hear them squealing, it's time to replace them, no matter what the mileage.
Before buying new tires, check to make sure they are the right size and type. Putting the wrong size or type of tire on your vehicle affects its handling, puts stress on the powertrain (an expensive repair), and compromises the safety systems.
Is there the aroma of burning wires or plastic wafting from your car's engine after driving it? The most likely source is the battery cable or a wire touching the hot engine. No matter the reason, we can clear the air.
Do you know that around 60 million cars are manufactured every year around the world? This means around 165,000 cars move through the assembly line every 24 hours.
Transmission fluid is the most important component of your car’s automatic transmission. So if you notice low fluid or fluid leakage, it indicates that there may be some problem with the transmission.
Regular preventive maintenance of your vehicle not only increases its life and performance but also minimizes overall operating costs. So even if your car is running fine, get it inspected regularly to avoid major problems in the future.
If your engine is stalling, it could be because a sensor is faulty or an electrical component is damaged or has gone bad. Bring your car in and we'll perform a diagnostic check to find out the cause.
When was the last time you had the cabin filter in your car or truck changed? It does more than keep the air you breathe clean. If it's clogged, it can cause the heater fan to work too hard, which leads to premature failure.
Do you own an electric car or a hybrid? Because the battery is sealed, it's not recommended that you perform maintenance on it yourself as it could damage it or void the warranty.
What’s the significance of the D.O.T. number on a tire? It indicates the factory that built the tire, its batch number, and its manufacture date.
Surveys of mechanics and repair shops show that the most often reported car issues are brake problems, check engine light, electrical system, power train and airbag problems.
It’s not recommended to drive a vehicle with less than a 1/4 of a tank on a regular basis. Doing so can clog your fuel pump. Moreover, fuel filters should be replaced regularly in order to avoid breakdowns on the road.
