The Importance of Alignments

The Importance of Alignments

It is very important to keep your vehicle aligned to the correct specifications. If the vehicle is not aligned correctly it can be damaging to your tires and affect the way the vehicle handles. When the vehicle's suspension is out of alignment there is an uneven amount of pressure on the tires that can cause you to go through tires faster. It can cause wear on the outer or inner area of the tire causing it to go bald which doesn't allow you to have full contact with the road. Having a vehicle that is properly aligned allows your tires to meet road at a proper angle which then prolongs the life of the tires. Call us today to schedule an appointment to check your vehicles alignment.

What filters does my vehicle have?

What filters does my vehicle have?

You may be wondering if your vehicle has an air filter or cabin air filter. Yes, every vehicle has an air filter and most of your vehicles will have a cabin air filter! The vehicle's air filter prevents harmful debris, dirt and contaminants from entering the vehicle's engine. The vehicle's cabin filter prevents dust, pollen, dirt and other pollutants from entering the vehicle through the vehicle's A/C and heat vents. We recommend to change the air filter every 15,000 miles or once a year. If you drive in more severe environments (dusty areas) we recommend to check the air filter more often. We recommend the cabin air filter to be changed once a year as well. Call us today to schedule an appointment to have us check your filters
