Quality Car Engine Maintenance

The engine of a car is similar to the heart in the body. This crucial part of the car should therefore be given the utmost attention it deserves. It is the intention of every car owner to keep the vehicle as new and in top condition as possible. This is however impossible as wear and tear tends to set in after continuous usage.

Coquitlam Car maintenance is very important but even more crucial to the condition of the car is the maintenance of the engine. Without the engine, a car is practically non-existent and just like how a car owner takes care of the exterior by ensuring it is washed at least once a week, it is also important to take care of the engine.

Car maintenance tasks

One of the major car maintenance tasks is changing the engine oil. It is advised that the oil is changed after every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. This ensures that your vehicle gives you better mileage, regardless of how old it is. It is also advised that car owners use synthetic oil as it breaks down slowly, making it a good lubricator for the car engine. Some of the common oil brands that use synthetic technology include Mobil and Castrol amongst others.

 

 

Car and Truck Wheel Alignment Servicing

The benefits that come with having a proper vehicle wheel alignment cannot be overemphasized. These benefits range from improving the car’s fuel mileage to reducing steering troubles while driving. A proper wheel alignment has also been discovered to enhance the appearance of the vehicle and extend the life of tires. A wheel alignment is usually needed after the tires have been knocked out of alignment as a result of hitting a large bump or pothole. The alignment helps to restore the tires to their position.

A car mechanic does the alignment of the wheels of a vehicle, by fixing the outlook of the car using a computerized machine to correct identified problem. He then ensures that the wheel is perpendicular to the ground and similar to one another. One of the factors involved in wheel alignment is the caster. This is a rotation or flutter within the bearings of the wheel that can result in the vehicle moving in an unwanted direction at higher speeds.

 

 

Brake Repair

For vehicles to function optimally on the road, car owners need to pay attention to car maintenance. They also need to ensure that repairs are dome immediately if required. Brake repair is one of the common car repairs that vehicle owners cannot ignore. Speed control is extremely important while driving and it is only good brakes that can ensure that a driver controls the speed of the car while in motion.

The car repair business is growing, and this has led to an increase in the number of car repairs and maintenance centers. It is, however, important for car owners and drivers to ensure that their car parts, especially the brakes, are checked and repaired by professionals. On an average, brake pads can last between 30,000 and 50,000 miles, depending on the driving conditions. It is, therefore, important for drivers to take note of this fact.

It is recommended that car brakes are checked with the tires off the vehicle, for better assessment. Car repair experts also recommend checking brakes after every 6,000 miles or during an oil change. Typically, brakes need to be replaced once a car covers a distance of about 100,000 miles.

 

 

Expert Car and Truck Air Conditioning Repairs

Truck and car air conditioning repairs are our specialty. Some quarters have compared auto air conditioning repairs to the job of a detective, as the problems with the system can be sometimes difficult to identify. Due to the complexity that is sometimes associated with identifying and subsequently repairing air conditioning systems, it is imperative that only a reputable and reliable repair shop or mechanic is contacted.

Identifying and subsequently contacting a well-versed mechanic does not only ensure that the air condition system is properly fixed, but it also ensures that no other part or system of the vehicle is damaged in the process of fixing the air conditioning system.

 

 

Tire purchase and repairs

Tires connect your vehicle to the road, and they can be the difference between a pleasant, safe driving experience and a horrible one. Tire purchase and repairs are two very important activities to keep passengers and drivers safe.

Pressure

Checking the pressure of the tire is one important activity that should be done on a regular basis. Tires lose air as time goes on and a digital gauge or simple pencil gauge can be used for measuring the air pressure of tires. This should be done bimonthly and before every long road trip.

Car owners can find data on inflation pressure in the owner’s manual or on a sticker inside the driver’s door. It is advised that the pressure of tires is checked when they are cold as this gives more accurate readings.

According to automobile experts, a tire’s worst enemy is under-inflation, resulting in irregular wear and unwanted tire stress. This can subsequently lead to serious road accidents and should, therefore, be addressed as soon as possible.
