Helpful Tips
Welcome to our Tips Section. We hope you find our suggestions helpful. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!

 

Why should I flush my brake fluid?

  Brake fluid is hydroscopic, meaning it draws in moisture. If you have a clean glass of brake fluid and place a drop of water into it it falls to the bottom of the glass. What is at the bottom of most brake systems are calipers & cylinders made up for the most part of metal. Rust forms and compromises the seals & pistons causing leaks & poor performance. Moisture also lowers the boiling point of brake fluid causing brake pedal fade under hot conditions.

Why change my Timing Belt now?

  Most Manufacturer's have set mileage requirements for changing Timing Belts. Some vehicles have what is known as an interference engine. In these type of engines when the Timing Belt breaks the pistons spinning at high revolutions contact the intake or exhaust valve which have not closed properly due to the broken belt. This usually calls for major engine repairs. Call us to see if your vehicle is due for this service or is affected by the interference problem.
