The Benefits of Quality Vehicle Maintenance!

As the seasons change a routine car maintenance checkup is always a good practice. Summer driving takes a toll on your vehicle with the high temperatures. The extra miles traveled during vacation and summer breaks add wear and tear to the vehicle. For example, cooling systems carry a heavy burden during the summer. No one wants to be stranded on the road due to overheating or driving without the option of air conditioning. A professional vehicle maintenance service ensures you're getting the maximum performance and comfort from your vehicle.

All vehicles need fresh clean oil for better performance. Oil changes are one of the least expensive of car maintenance costs, but they will help prevent costly repairs down the road. Clean oil is critical to the engine components working together for a smooth ride, preventing carbon build-up in the engine for better performance.

As winter approaches, a preventative vehicle maintenance checkup is essential. A small summer problem could turn into a life-threatening winter hazard. Routine winter checks for wear and proper function include window wipers blades, brake pads, tires, belts and hoses. All of the fluids should be checked and topped off before the first rain or snow hits the ground. Keep in mind, cold winter weather and road conditions can decrease air pressure in tires. As the temperature changes, be sure to check the tire pressure regularly.

Routine car maintenance reduces the odds of mechanical failure so your vehicle will give you more miles with a longer lifespan. Preventative vehicle maintenance extends the life of your vehicle by keeping track of the wear and tear, helping to prevent unexpected breakdowns. The condition and value of the vehicle will not only be maintained, but also helps ensure that you, your passengers, and other drivers stay safe on the road.

You Need Tire Repair After Summer Driving!

The heat of summer, the severity of drought or the flooding of summer rains can all take its toll on us. It can also take its toll on our vehicles, including our tires. Now is the time to consider these and other summer variables as we begin planning for the change of season. Yes, it's more than a few days away, but waiting until the last minute can result in even more costly tire service.

With extreme heat comes extra wear on the tread and thickness of your tires. This is especially true for highway miles and long trips. This adds to the concern for reliability and traction. In addition to the extreme heat of tar, pavement and other damaging summer surfaces generally comes added miles, which can quickly wear on your car and those wheels that cover all those miles. Any tire repairs done during the summer will also need a second look before the rainy season starts.

So what does all this mean? Autumn is looming and with that and the winter season come the demands of excellent traction, appropriate tire pressure and well balanced tires. Slick leaves, snow and ice along with other winter driving considerations require a look at our tires before summer ends. How much tread is left, has the heat had an impact on tire pressure, and have the tires worn evenly, are just a few of the questions to be considered when visiting a tire repairs shop.

Like most of us, you probably aren't a tire repair expert. Yet we know enough to ask the right questions, to evaluate a potentially hazardous situation and ensure that our tires are in excellent driving condition. That also means that we ask for our mechanic's expert opinion. Then we simply address any needed tire repairs or replacement. After that, we can enjoy the end of summer in comfort and have the peace of mind that our vehicle is ready for the change of seasons, even if we aren't.

What You Should Know About Oil Changes!

When a person’s arties become clogged, their doctor will want to take immediate action to fix the situation. And just as a poor diet and too little exercise causes cholesterol to collect as sticky deposits and block our arteries, the same goes for your vehicle. If your car develops oil deposits and starts to block up your engine, ask your mechanic to take immediate action with a fresh oil change. But you may be wondering, how does oil gum up the engine of our vehicles?

When oil is subjected to a high enough temperature, it can solidify and become baked onto the surface of wherever it happens to be (i.e., a narrow engine oil passageway or critical engine part). Over time, it will also lose its viscosity and become a tar-like goop that will cause your engine to work harder than normal just to run.

After enough of these deposits have collected, the possibility of engine problems goes up dramatically. Thick or solid oil has the reverse effect that clean, normal oil has. Instead of cleaning, lubricating and cooling your engine, it pollutes, hinders and contributes to overheating.

Of course, just as some people seem to have more health issues than others, some makes and models of vehicles are more prone to oil deposits than others. However, here are things you should understand about oil changes that will help keep your vehicle's engine healthy:

• Have regular oil changes, including a fresh filter. Follow the manufacturer's recommended intervals as stated in your owner’s manual.
• Pay attention to signs from your car; such as difficult starting, misfiring, engine running hot, low oil indicator light coming on, or a bad oxygen sensor.
• Use synthetic oils if you can. Most auto shops offer oil change coupons to help make them more affordable.
• Be careful using additives--they may react chemically with your oil in undesired ways.
