  • Reasons Why Your Rotors May Be Wearing Quickly

    If you have a truck, SUV, or another type of vehicle that you drive daily, then you may notice that the brakes need to be adjusted often. This typically means that the brake pads need to be changed. However, the rotors need to be replaced on occasion as well. Most rotors can be replaced after driving 25,000 to 50,000 miles. However, if you find that you need to replace your rotors after driving only about 15,000 miles, then this may be an expensive issue.

  • Understanding The Dangers Of Installing A Diesel Fuel Shut Off Valve Backwards

    If you have a diesel vehicle with a shut off valve attached to the fuel line, then you may need to replace this valve at some point as you own the car.

Talking About Auto Maintenance and Service

Hi there, I am Liza Plotts. I am going to use this site to share the importance of regular auto maintenance and service. Automobile engines contain a series of rapidly moving, interconnected parts. These parts rely on the delivery of oil and other fluids to stay in good running condition. Without those fluids, the engine could seize up and stop working altogether. Components throughout the suspension, brakes and transmission systems also use fluids to stay in great shape. Regular maintenance techniques ensures the seals and gaskets keep the fluid in the right place. Techs must also change out those fluids on a regular schedule to keep your automobile working right.
