Vehicle Pre Purchase Inspection

A pre-purchase inspection is an evaluation of a vehicle by a qualified technician to determine its condition and identify any existing or potential problems before purchasing. With a pre-purchase inspection, a potential buyer can make an informed decision when buying a used car. Such inspection can consume a few hours to complete, depending on the vehicle's make and model and the inspector's evaluation level. Here are some of the areas of the vehicle that may be inspected during a pre-purchase inspection: 1. Exterior and Interior Condition: This includes checking for damages, rust, body repairs, and paintwork. 2. Tires, Brakes, and Wheels: Includes ensuring that the brakes and tires are in good condition, with enough tread depth, sufficient braking capabilities, and no tire damage. 3. Engine: Checking for fluid leaks, condition of belts, hoses, battery, wiring, and general operating condition. 4. Suspension and Steering: This includes evaluating the conditions of the shocks, st...

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...
