MAINTENANCE

 

If you've ever asked yourself, "Should I repair or replace my car?" the answer is usually pretty straightforward. Hanging on to your older car for as long as you can makes solid economic sense. As long as your ride isn't costing more than your car is worth and is relatively reliable, you're in good shape. Your insurance will typically be lower on an older vehicle, and you can use the money you're saving for a down payment when the time does come to make a change.

There are a few extenuating circumstances that should influence your decision. One consideration is how well the car has been maintained over time. A well-maintained vehicle will perform better than one that's been abused and neglected

      TUNING & BRAKES

 

Brakes are one of the most important components on your vehicle. You need the confidence of knowing that when you press your foot to the brake, your vehicle is going to stop. That's why it's important to keep brakes functioning properly. 

 

 

      CAR SERVICING
 

It's a scenario that's befallen drivers everywhere: They turn on the car and start to fiddle with the radio and the air. They glance left and right over their shoulders while buckling up to check whether they're clear to back up.  Then suddenly they glance down at the dash and notice with horror -- the check engine light is on!

What does this mean?  If your check engine light is illuminated, it's best to take it in for diagnostic testing. Because while the lights vary in appearance from vehicle to vehicle, all have the same basic meaning: There's a problem with the car's emissions system. The on-board diagnostics system and engine control unit are in charge of monitoring a bunch of different parameters, and if they get a reading that's a little out of whack, up pops the check engine light.

           SUSPENSION
 

The degree to which a car maintains contact with the road surface in various types of directional changes and in a straight line (Example: The weight of a car will shift from the rear tires to the front tires during braking. Because the nose of the car dips toward the road, this type of motion is known as "dive." The opposite effect -- "squat" -- occurs during acceleration, which shifts the weight of the car from the front tires to the back.)

 

So for the best preformance have your vehicles suspension checked. EVERYTHING GETS OLD EVEN YOUR SHOCKS!!
