Put Safety First With Regular Suspension System Inspections

A solid, well-maintained suspension system can actually contribute to your safety and that of your passengers. To keep your suspension in good condition, it's essential for trained and experienced suspension experts to give your suspension components occasional checkups. Critical systems include:

  • Control Arm Bushings: These impact-resistors help to insulate metal parts of your suspension system from friction and impacts. Since it's cheaper to periodically replace bushings than it is to replace metal parts, regular bushing service can keep money in your pockets.

Full-Size vs Spare Tire: Which is Best?

At some point in every driver’s life, they feel their vehicle shaking due to a flat tire. When that moment happens, many drivers don’t realize that there are two different options for a spare tire. These options are either full-size spare or a compact temporary spare.

Rotating Tires Extends Tire Life

Rotating the tires on your car is a common recommendation for general car care. Mechanics will take the tires from the front of the car and put them on the rear axle and move the rear tires to the front. They also may alternate the passenger side tires with the driver side tires.

This action helps evenly wear tire traction extending the life of the tire. If the tires were left in one position, the treads on the tire would wear off on some of the tires faster than others. The way you drive may affect it as well as…

A Regular Oil Change Helps Your New Vehicle!

Purchasing a new vehicle is a fun experience. The newness of your vehicle and the excitement that comes with it feels great!

Now it’s time for your new oil change! It might not be as fun, but it is necessary.

It is that important to your vehicle…
