Brakes



 If you are hearing a squeak or squeal it is most likely because your brake pads and/or brake shoes are worn down, as they are designed to do. This is the best time to get your brakes checked as at this time you probably only need new brake pads or shoes. If  you are hearing a loud grinding noise when you are braking you have warn your brake pads down to the metal backing of the pads or shoes and have probably started to grind into your brake rotors or drums. In most cases you will now have to replace your pads and rotors or shoes and drums. If you do not get it repaired now you will end up having to replace you calipers and/or wheel cylinders and bleed your brake system because after your metal backing wears down it will spit out the backing and start to stop your vehicle with the calipers pistons. or you will lose all of your brakes do to it pouring out all of your brake fluid from behind you calipers piston which is bad so give US a call or text and get a free quote before it's too late and it costs your safety and wallet.

Timing Belt

A broken timing belt isn't something anyone would want to have, auto manufacturers recommend replacing them between 80,000 and 160,000 miles depending on the car. So what happens if you miss that bit of scheduled maintenance? Well, the outcome generally isn't pretty. Let's say your car happens to have an interference motor, like a large number do ( see list ), and your driving along the freeway when suddenly your car just dies, maybe you even heard a clunk. Now you're stuck on the side of the road with a very damaged engine, damaged may be putting it lightly. When the timing belt breaks on an interference motor the camshaft stops moving, but the crankshaft is continuing, the cam is holding your valves open and the piston hits the open valves, bending them and thus destroying your engine. You will be stuck with 3 options; 1) Replace the engine 2) Rebuild the engine or 3) Buy a new car. So you see, spending a little money on the preventative maintenance of your vehi...

Excessive Heats Effect On Automotive Batteries

Heat can have a significant effect on automotive batteries. Here are a few key points to consider: 1. Reduced Battery Life: High temperatures can accelerate the chemical reactions taking place inside a battery, ultimately leading to a shorter lifespan. Excessive heat can cause the internal components of the battery to deteriorate more quickly. 2. Increased Battery Self-Discharge: Heat can increase the rate of battery self-discharge, meaning that even when not in use, the battery loses its charge more rapidly. This can become a problem if the vehicle is left parked for extended periods. 3. Loss of Battery Capacity: Heat can cause the electrolyte within the battery to evaporate at a faster rate, resulting in a loss of battery capacity. This can significantly reduce the ability of the battery to deliver a consistent and strong electrical charge. 4. Difficulty in Starting: Extreme heat can make it more challenging for a battery to operate at its full potential. Consequently, starting a veh...

Service Lights (MIL)

Automotive service lights, also known as warning lights, malfunction indicator lights (MIL) or check-engine lights, indicate that there is a problem with a vehicle's system and that it requires attention. Service lights are usually located on the dashboard and are illuminated when there is a fault detected in the corresponding system. Different warning lights signify different issues in the vehicle. It is essential to understand what these warning lights mean for safe driving and vehicle maintenance. Here are some of the most common automotive service lights and their meanings: 1. Check Engine Light: This light indicates that a problem has been detected in the engine management system. The problem could range from a minor issue such as a loose gas cap to a more critical problem like a faulty oxygen sensor or catalytic converter. 2. Battery Warning Light: This light indicates that the battery is not getting charged. It could be due to a faulty alternator or loose wiring. 3. Oil Pres...
