In this section of the website, we mention multiple suggestions that can help extend the life and performance of your vehicle. See below to view our various car care advice.
THE FACTS ABOUT LEAKS
If your car’s air conditioning is not blowing cold, then the refrigerant may be low, caused by a leak or a system component that has failed. Over time leaks can get worse and damage other components. Therefore, it is important to have your vehicle serviced as soon as you think there is an issue with your air conditioner.
Refrigerant leaks:
Most common sources include worn, inelastic or brittle seals, o-rings, hoses, loose fittings and connections
Can compromise more important parts of the system like the compressor and evaporator if not addressed
Are not good for the environment and are now government-regulated
R-134a is the current acceptable refrigerant used in most automotive repair facilities.
FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING SERVICES
Removing the buildup of dirt and particles in your fuel system will not only help restore and improve your vehicle's performance and reduce emissions. It will also help improve your gas mileage and overall driveability.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICES
Maintaining your vehicle according to dealership recommendations not only keeps your vehicle's warranty valid, but it also prevents costly repairs once the warranty has expired. Having repairs done at independent repair facilities does not void the warranty.
