Holiday Gift-giving Ideas

2011-11-22T05:55:00.004-06:00

Instead of buying cheaply-produced goods and merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. Why not think outside the gift-wrapped shirt box this year? Try some of these ideas:

Everyone gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local American hair salon or barber?
Gym membership? It's appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement.
Who wouldn't appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, American owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a book of gift certificates.
If you are in Nashville, give a certificate to Wheel Fix It Mobile Vehicle Maintenance and Repair 615-496-2544.
Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plonking down the Benjamins on a foreign-made flat-screen? Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer, or driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local golf course.
There are a bazillion owner-run restaurants -- all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn't the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint. Remember, folks this isn't about big National chains -- this is about supporting your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open.
How many people couldn't use an oil change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy?
Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services of a local cleaning lady for a day.
My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy who is struggling to get his repair business up and running.
OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes.
Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet at your hometown theatre.
Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands.

Keep American small businesses alive with this new tradition.

Information about batteries, starters, and alternators

2011-11-21T07:00:00.000-06:00

Common starting problems (an engine will not crank, or dies while driving, or has no lights on the dashboard when the key is turned on) could indicate that the battery is dead, or the starter is not turning over the engine, or the alternator is not maintaining enough voltage and amperage to charge the battery while engine is running. Naturally, if this is occurring you are likely to get stranded. Fortunately, we can send an ASE-certified mechanic to your Nashville location to solve this problem.

What's That Clicking Noise My Car is Making?

2011-11-19T06:38:00.002-06:00

When a vehicle’s axles are bad, they may produce a vibrating or clicking noise. This could mean that the bearings need to be greased (repacked) or the boots that hold the grease are busted. Most boots and bearings nowadays are sealed and replaced as a unit. Ideally, the car should be put on a rack to have this done, but since Wheel Fix It, LLC is a mobile repair shop, the car is jacked up, the wheels are removed and jack stands are placed under car as a safety precaution.

Misconceptions about Front End Alignment

2011-11-15T14:09:00.001-06:00

I have recently and in the past heard people say they have a vibration and need to have the car’s front end aligned. Now if the alignment was so far off, say a bent part, this could be true. Vibration, shaking, or steering wheel wobble is caused by many things but not the alignment.

Causes for this would be one or a combination of the following: tires out of round, the balance of the tires, bent rims, warped rotors, a bad steering component, and/or a bad strut/shock. While working in a shop as an alignment tech for years, I saw all of these on a daily basis—most common problem being a bad tire and a tire out of balance. If a tire is perfectly round, in balance, with a tight front end, the car or truck should ride smoothly down the road. It still may drift or pull. (A pull is detected if while driving down a straight road and momentarily letting go of steering wheel, the vehicle drifts into the next lane by itself.)

Regardless of a bad shock or the alignment being off, the reason to have the front end aligned would be to correct tire wear problems, keep a vehicle from drifting or pulling, and increase fuel mileage (there’s less friction if the vehicle does not have to drag a tire just make it roll). We are only talking about small degrees of angle here, not 45 degrees.

There are a few important angles when measuring and adjusting a front end. The first being camber. This would be how far the upper portion of the tire is leaning, whether it is in/out or positive/negative. If this angle was off from specification, the vehicle may have a pull or uneven tire wear from inside to out. An incorrect reading may be caused by a bent suspension part, worn steering part, or vehicle sag on the springs due to age. The next angle to check would be caster. This angle does not wear tires. It would cause a pull. Basically this angle is a measurement of placement or degrees of separation between the upper and lower ball joint. If angles vary from driver to passenger side more than .5 degrees, the vehicle may pull. This would be caused from one tire being forced forward more than the other. The most important angle after the others have been set would be toe in or toe out. You've seen all these angles if you've seen a toy Matchbox car that has been stepped on. They just don't seem to roll well with a bent axle or tires pointing in opposite directions. Toe would be the direction the center of the tire is pointing on a centered basis of the vehicle. If this angle is off it will wear tires quickly. If it is far enough off, it can cause darting when the steering wheel is barely touched.

I trust this helps you understand what causes vibrations and tire wear. If you have a front end, tire, or alignment problem, we would be glad to take a look, explain further, or refer you to a trusted expert.

How Often Should I Change the Oil in My Vehicle?

2011-11-09T06:56:00.003-06:00

Oil is a vital part of your engine's longevity and daily reliability. Oil lubricates, cools, and protects all internal moving components. There are many types and brands of oils on the market, some claiming to be better than others. Always follow recommended oil usage from the owner’s manual especially in newer cars.

Increase the grade of oil (thickness) on high-mileage vehicles. Motor oils range from 0w-20 to 20w-50. The lower the number, the thinner the oil and vice versa.

New cars such as the Honda Civic may call for the 0w-20. This is because tolerances between bearing surfaces have been greatly reduced with advancing technology. The need for a thinner oil has evolved with that. For instance, an old V8 truck would have required a 10w-30 oil and now that mileage and engine wear have increased, the tolerance has increased as well. So, a thicker oil to take up the space is needed.

Different brands are also recommended by manufactures due to the additive qualities they possess in protecting different metals in an engine. There are also synthetic and conventional oils. The main thing to remember about the difference in these two types is molecular structure. Conventional oil is made from natural earth products and are shaped and sized differently—thus they break down under stress and heat at different rates. Synthetic oil is manmade which means all molecules are the same and break down at the same time.

A common assumption that synthetic oils last 10,000 to 15,000 miles is untrue. Oil that has been used that long has worn down and sludge has already built up in the engine. The same is true with conventional oil. Driving conditions may vary the frequency for oil changes, but sticking with 3,000 miles on conventional oil and 5,000 miles on synthetic oil is a safe bet for change interval.

There are other factors such as climate that need to be considered in determining what would be best for your particular engine. Be sure to ask a mechanic who is ASE certified in engine repair. He or she would have the knowledge regarding what oils are best.

I can help you with that if you will leave a comment stating what make and model you drive and the vehicle’s current mileage.

2010-06-14T15:34:00.002-05:00

If waiting in a customer lounge at an auto repair center is not your idea of a good time, then you will want to know about Wheel Fix It owned by Robert McCurley. This mobile vehicle maintenance and repair shop comes to your door, bringing an ASE-certified technician with the same (or better) credentials and certification as the mechanic who works at the dealership or independent shop where you normally take your car or truck to be serviced.

One thing Robert doesn’t bring with him is the high price tag on labor and automotive parts. Many dealerships will charge as much as 100% mark up on parts. Wheel Fix It brings the parts you need at the same price you would pay if you went to the parts store and bought them yourself. With an hourly labor rate of $70, you get an honest job done right the first time. And, you get the same warranty on parts and labor that you would get at your usual repair center.

When was the last time you took your car in for service? Keeping the oil, filters, belts, and fluids clean and properly maintained not only ensures better operation of you vehicle, it can actually save you money and dangerous breakdowns.

Affordable prices, guaranteed labor by someone who has the experience, tools, and knowledge to do the job, plus convenience. Isn’t it time you called Wheel Fix It? 615-496-2544 or contact us on our Web site http://www.wheelfixitmobile.com.

Air Conditioning Repair

2010-05-24T15:34:00.001-05:00

It's that time of year when things are starting to heat up. That means you may get in your car, flip the air conditioner on, and plan to be cool by the time you reach the interstate. However, after a few minutes you notice you are still sweating, so you turn up the fan speed only to realize there's warm air coming from your car's A/C vents. Uh, oh. Now what?

Your unit could need a simple recharge of its freon, but it may require a repair like the one I performed on a BMW this past week. The compressor, drying unit, and hose had to be replaced. The old refrigerant had to be vacuumed out, filtered through a machine, and returned to the system along with some new refrigerant.

Only a certified mechanic should work on your car's air conditioning. Over charging the system can damage it; under charging means it will not cool sufficiently. Leaks or problems need to be found and repaired so the A/C system will last longer. Otherwise, you may face a more expensive repair later.

Tips for Attempting to Restart Flooded Vehicles

2010-05-08T00:30:00.003-05:00

The muddy flood water has receded enough for people who were evacuated during the storm to get back home (those who still have homes) and access the damage. And, it’s time to see if any of the vehicles that were flooded will ever run again. Some will—some won’t, but we can at least try.

Hydrolocking a vehicle is when the water in the engine cylinder is attempting to be compressed instead of gas/air mixture. This can bend rods and blow gaskets. DO NOT attempt to start a flooded vehicle before you take the following steps or else major engine damage could result.

There is still hope for water-soaked vehicles. Here are a few tips about how to safely restart a flooded car without causing further damage. This needs to be done ASAP so no rust is formed on any internal metal parts.

Leave all doors, the trunk, and hood open. Underneath the carpet, all vehicles have a rubber drain plug in each floor pan that can be removed to assist in draining the water.
If water rose over the hood, all systems will have water in them. Oils float on top off water ,so drain plugs need to be removed to let the water come out first. Let the water drain for a while before replacing fluids.
Spark plugs need to be removed. Leave the plugs out while you take the next steps.
Turn the engine over by hand or with the starter for a few seconds.
The intake manifold is also holding water and can be sucked out.
The transmission pan needs to be removed and the filter replaced.
Power steering system needs to be flushed by removing return line and filling up with fresh P/S fluid. The pump will do the flushing for you when started.
Brake fluid has to be flushed; it is a hydraulic fluid that absorbs moisture.
The cooling system is a sealed unit and should not require service or draining.
After all this is done, add fresh fluids, insert new spark plugs, and try to start the vehicle. If you are successful, give a loud victory yell and let the car idle for 10- 15 minutes.
Check all fluid conditions. A system with water in it will look like chocolate or strawberry milk. If this is the case, you will need to repeat the flushing process again and again until the fluids look the same as they did when poured in.

If you do not feel comfortable with performing any of these steps, give Wheel Fix It a call at 615-496-2544.

Flooding in Nashville

2010-05-05T11:38:00.001-05:00

Living in Nashville, I know first-hand how vast and horrible the devastation from last weekend’s flood is. Thankfully, our house is at the top of a hill and was not affected. However, many families all over Music City have lost their homes, businesses, automobiles, and everything they owned.

In Cheatham County where I live, six houses were destroyed near Kingston Springs Road at the intersection between the middle school and the high school. Here’s a video of a house actually being swept down the street http://www.youtube.com at that location. Kingston Springs Elementary School, where my son attends was flooded so badly that I doubt the students will go back to class for the rest of this term.

A Word About Car Extended Warranties

2010-03-26T08:12:00.004-05:00

Thinking about a used car extended warranty? Nervous about what's under the hood? Used car dealers are feeling your pain all the way to the bank. In an ironic twist, "pre-owned vehicle" dealers have found a way to profit from their bad reputation.

No, they're not just selling overpriced used car extended warranties anymore. They're charging a 10% to 25% markup on used cars "certified" (by them) not to be pieces of junk. The accompanying "certified" used car warranties in fact usually carry much less protection than the best used car warranties, which you can buy yourself online. Who needs a used car warranty if your jalopy is a "certified" machine?

But even paying 10% to 25% more won't eliminate risk. Thorough extended warranties for used cars are necessary, "certified" or not. In some cases, a half-hearted inspection means the certification may not be worth the paper it's written on. Used car problems often only appear months or years after purchase. That's why even for mint used cars, used car extended warranties are essential.

Worse, "certified" used cars don't always come with any extended used car warranty coverage. When a "certified" used car warranty is included, it usually has much less coverage than a new car warranty. Even most standard pre-owned vehicle extended warranties offer much more protection than most "certified" used car warranties.

You can almost always do better on your own. An independent inspection and a used car extended warranty provide better peace of mind, often at a lower price.

Pre-Purchase Car Inspections

2010-03-18T08:08:00.002-05:00

Buying a new car, or a car that's new to you, can be a minefield. Women are traditionally vulnerable to con men when buying cars, taking their cars for a service or anything else related to motoring for that matter. Although we'd like to think that times have changed, and in the most part they have, there are still car sales people waiting for an innocent looking female to trot through the door. This applies to men too, so don't be offended! At CoverGirl Car Insurance we want you to get the best deal, cheap insurance and above all a great car. So, we've compiled a concise guide to what can be one of the most expensive purchases you'll have to make.

The first thing you will need to do is decide whether you want a new or used car. You probably have a make and model in mind already, so it's best to do as much research into the car as possible. You can look in trade guides and on the internet to get some ideas about the production and engineering of your desired car. If you go to the dealer armed with this information then you will know what to look for and will know about any parts of the car that are particularly expensive to replace. Whilst doing your research you could also look out for any common problems with your car. For example certain vehicles have notoriously bad electrics and you could be left having to pay a large bill to have them repaired.

So what's the best bet, new or used? Read more . . .

If you are planing to buy a used car, it will be well worth your money to have a pre-purchase inspection done before you lay down the cash.

2010-03-16T06:00:00.000-05:00

When it comes to your car, appearances matter. The rule of thumb is that a driver who spends time to make his (or her) vehicle look good is more likely to keep it well maintained over time. Rarely will an owner with a clean, attractive car neglect to provide the proper maintenance. Air filters are replaced, motor oil is changed, and other parts are kept in good running condition.

Saving Money And Time On Vehicle Maintenance

2010-03-12T20:27:00.002-06:00

Why do people pay so much for car repair? With labor rates near $100 per hour and parts prices marked up as high as 200 percent, most of what the customer is paying for is a shop’s monthly bills. The marked up price of parts is in place to cover the overhead of warranty. You are also paying for bad coffee, a service manager’s salary, and specialty tools and equipment you may never have hooked up to or used on your vehicle. Mark up is all part of any business structure, but is it really necessary?

Yes and no. If your vehicle is maintained properly you will rarely have to pay those high labor rates for repairs. Neglect of a vehicle is what causes expensive repairs to come into play. The shop has more liability to make the repair last and they want to avoid having to redo the work or replace the parts when something else breaks a few days or several weeks later. Many parts may have to be removed to repair the new problem and care must be taken to avoid breaking or damaging them.

Our goal is not to re-invent the wheel but make it run smoother. Our economy is rough right now. Having corporate businesses failing and overcharging for what the customer wants is frustrating for the consumer. I believe the answer to get us all back on track is to do business with small companies you can trust. This will spread the wealth for everyone. Wheel Fix It is a small business offering professional vehicle repair and maintenance at a far better rate than large businesses. Our labor rate is $60 an hour and parts are sold at cost. As you would expect, the same warranty applies as it would if you had your vehicle serviced anywhere else. This saves you money.

Our ASE-certified mechanic has 15 years of experience working in both large and small auto repair shops, so you know you are getting the same quality repair service as you would at the higher priced places. This saves you headache and worry.

An added bonus of doing business with Wheel Fix It is that we come to your location to remedy your car trouble. We provide fast and dependable roadside service. We can work in the garage or driveway of your home or in the parking lot where you work. Just tell us where your vehicle is located and we will bring the shop, the parts, the tools, and the mechanic to you—as long as you are in the Nashville, Tennessee area, that is. This saves you time.

Encourage your friends to find cheaper resources, products, and services by dealing with small local business owners. This will help us all and repair our economy.

You know the old saying "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is?" Prices on car repairs fit perfectly in that saying. I have noticed a few Craigslist and Twitter ads that are offering $20 brake jobs, $30 dollar tune-ups and savings of 75% or more. This is a red flag to me.

First, brakes are a vital part of your safety on the road. Anyone who will install pads for $20 is not a mechanic and does not do a brake job correctly. “Pad slapping a vehicle” is putting fresh pads on glazed/used rotors. This greatly reduces your braking ability and causes all those annoying squeaks and noises. The proper repair would be to resurface the rotors (if within specs) or replace them, replace the pads, then clean and lube the slides. There are other mental checks a mechanic goes through as the job is done to insure there will be no problems when finished. Such as fluid condition, caliper issues, and visual inspection of hardware and hoses. $20 will not cover the cost of a real brake job that can be backed up with a warranty.

Second, a tune-up is not replacing the plugs and shutting the hood. Verify the complaint - misfire, runs rough, or scheduled maintenance. A visual inspection is done of all engine components relating to its running performance. Any problems found would be fixed first. A quick check to see if the vehicle’s computer has any stored codes will be next. Then a fix of any codes related to engine performance. Afterwards, remove all spark plugs and perform a compression test. Any low readings will affect the life and future of the engine. Installation of the new plugs happens after the compression test. Depending on the running condition before the repair, spark plug wires may be left alone. Proper care should be taken when removing the wires from the spark plug to avoid damage. Some vehicles have a distributor cap and rotor that should be inspected and replaced if worn or show signs of arcing which is a “misfire”. Replacement of the fuel and air filters is generally done at this time, unless recently replaced by the neighborhood oil change place. That’s another story. Cleaning the throttle body with an approved cleaner insures a smooth idle and proper airflow for designed performance. Some vehicles include replacing PCV valve and a check other components that would cause a certain complaint. If these steps are done, warranty on a tune-up is not in question for a mechanic.

Just remember, again, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 75 percent off in price is 75 percent off a job done right. Let us perform your repair right the first time at a LOWER rate. Pay the mechanic for the repair and not for the place he is renting.

How to Choose a Vehicle For Your Teen Driver

2010-03-05T06:00:00.007-06:00

A small, sporty vehicle might be exactly what your teen wants - but it's also the most dangerous for your teen to drive. The sense of invincibility and impulsive, risky behavior characteristic of many teens is just one of the reasons you'll want to select a different type of vehicle when the time comes.

Whatever vehicle your teen drives, the first years after licensure are high-risk. In fact, teen drivers have the highest death rates in car crashes of any age group. Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death among Americans aged 15-20. In addition to the teenage drivers who are killed, 64% of the 13-19 year-olds who die as passengers are killed when a teen driver is behind the wheel (which means that you should also take an interest in what your teen's friends are driving).

Read more about keeping your teen driver safe in this article: http://tinyurl.com/yabzba8.

Make sure that the car your teen drives is in top mechanical order by having it checked out and maintained by a professional. There's no need to risk having her break down on her way home from work after dark.

In today's worsening economy where people are facing the problem of downsizing, it is becoming more difficult to buy a new vehicle. Most of us buy a car with the intention that it will work efficiently for many years to come. Most cars and trucks will last for many years if they are driven and maintained properly.

Most people are unaware of how to maintain their cars. It actually requires little effort but it's something many people ignore until they end up in mechanic shop with a service bill much larger than what it would have cost to maintain the vehicle in the first place. Who has time or money for that kind of trouble?

Nitrogen or Air in Your Car Tires

2010-02-21T17:05:00.000-06:00

I recently heard about someone offering to put nitrogen instead of compressed air in tires. They say it promotes better gas mileage. Don't fall for this scam. Compressed air is 79% nitrogen and 20.9% oxygen and the rest is inert gases. Gases are temperature dependent. This is why your tires go flat quicker in cold weather. Don't take my word for it. Look up Charles Law partial pressures of gases.

Can you tell which tire has nitrogen and which has compressed air?

The Engine & Transmission - Vital Parts of Your Car's Life

2010-02-19T06:05:00.000-06:00

Your vehicle's engine and transmission are as vital to it as the heart and lungs are to the human body. Keeping the engine and transmission in good shape is very important—especially if you plan to drive your vehicle long term.

The belts inside the engine need to be checked after approximately twenty-five thousand miles. The oil is the life blood of the engine and should be kept at a normal level in order to lubricate all the moving parts inside the engine. The oil should be changed completely and a new oil filter installed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles for best engine performance.

WHEEL FIX IT Mobile Vehicle Maintenance and Repair can help with anything from simple oil changes to factory suggested checkups. And, we'll do it at your convenience by arriving on time at your location and providing excellent service at affordable rates (lower than taking your car in for serve and having to wait on it).

8 Tips to Make Your Vehicles Last Longer

2010-02-17T04:31:00.000-06:00

Proper maintenance not only catches problems before they become critical, but can also prevent problems from occurring. No one wants to break down any time, but especially when it's freezing cold or snowing outside. Nashville has had plenty of bad weather to deal with this year.

With increasing costs it pays to keep your vehicles in good shape and lasting longer. Here are eight tips to make your vehicle last longer:

Regular oil changes.
Regularly check/replace hoses when worn
Check and replace belts when needed.
Check and maintain tires.
Check and maintain fluid levels.
Check and repair lights as needed.
Pay attention to warning lights.
Keep a written record of what has been done to each vehicle you own.

Tips on How to Maintain Your Vehicle

2010-02-16T06:57:00.000-06:00

Vehicle owners aren't always in the know about how to maintain their vehicles in order to be safe on the road. Wheels and tires need constant attention. It is ideal to regularly check the tire pressure and clean the dust off the brakes.

The tires need to be rotated approximately every five thousand miles and replaced when tread bars are low. The tire pressure affects the vehicle's fuel economy as well as performance and it should be checked about once a week. Brake dust is best removed with a damp sponge, but most people don't know how to do this nor are they inclined to get on the ground and get dirty trying to maintain their own cars--especially in cold weather. Taking a vehicle into the shop for service not only wastes your valuable time, it's expensive.

That's where Wheel Fix It Mobile Vehicle Maintenance and Repair can help. If you are in the Nashville area, we can come to your home or place of business and do routine maintenance on your car or truck.

Balance, Alignment, Inflation, and Rotation

2010-02-14T06:06:00.005-06:00

Balance

Balanced tires not only offer better safety but also increase the life of the tire and improve the performance of the vehicle. It's necessary to balance the tires at least once a year. In addition, it's important to balance them after any sort of repairs or maintenance that requires them to be removed temporarily from the vehicle.

Alignment

One of the essential intergradients when it comes to driver's safety and the occupants of any vehicles is the proper alignment. It's possible to experience even tread wear along with extremely precise steering capability with a vehicle that obtains proper alignment.

If a vehicle is properly aligned then it has sound suspension and steering. In addition to this, wheel and tire assembly runs straight. If your vehicle is not properly aligned then you can experience uneven wear on the front tires or on the rear tires.

Proper Inflation

One of the very critical elements for the vehicle's safety is the tires with proper inflation. It's never good idea to drive with over or under inflated tires. It's better to check the air pressure of the tires at least once a month.

The tires with under inflation can result in increase of the tread wear on the outside edges of your tires. Moreover, the durability of the tires is put to the test because the heat in the tire is increased due to under inflated tires.

The tires with over inflation can result in increase of the tread wear on the very center of your tires. If your tires has uneven tread wear then the life of your tires will obviously reduced.

You should know what is to be done in order to check out whether or not you've the appropriate air pressure in your tires. If you've owner's manual then look once at it. It's also possible for you to check the driver's side of the vehicle in the doorjamb. You can also check it out with the car's manufacturer or online. As a precaution alternative, you can use a good quality air gauge cage.

Regular Rotation

You require rotating your tires if you desire to gain even tread wear on tires of your vehicles. The vehicle's weight is not uniformly distributed on the tires, and this requires rotating them in order to produce even tread wear. Remember to check out the inflation level of the tires of your car after every rotation. Read more from By Deelip Khanal . . .

What Kind of Vehicles Are Sold at Dealer Auctions?

2010-02-12T15:11:00.002-06:00

Millions of vehicles are sold at dealer auto auctions every year. The general public is not admitted to these auctions; only licensed dealers can participate. As with any wholesale market exchange, prices of vehicles sold at dealer auctions are lower than those advertised on any dealer's lot, which begs the question, why would anyone forgo a potentially higher sticker price to take their inventory to a dealer auction where it will be auctioned off for thousands less than retail? One might also wonder if there is something wrong with cars that end up at the auctions - why else wouldn't a dealer go after a bigger margin by selling those cars at their own lot? Read more from Chris Herbert . . .

If you’ve bought a car at auction only to discover that it has more problems than you originally thought, I'll provide an honest estimate of what it would take to get it running safely. If you are a dealer and need someone to repair a car or truck before sending it to auction or to maintain your auction-purchased vehicles, call WHEEL FIX IT Mobile Vehicle Maintenance and Repair at 615-496-2544.

Useful Tips for Interior Car Care

2010-02-11T14:40:00.001-06:00

Once you have finished with the exterior of your car, it's time to check the interior. Vacuum the interior thoroughly. If there are stains on the upholstery or the carpet, you can use a quality carpet and upholstery shampoo to clean the interior. Wash the windshield inside and out and clean all vinyl with a good vinyl cleaner and protectant as well.

To complete your total auto car care mission you should look under the hood. Checking under the hood on a periodic basis can help you to spot problems before they become costly and is therefore a wise thing to do. It is best to conduct the check when the car engine is cold, i.e. not after the car is being used and that the engine is hot. Check all fluid levels. Take a good look at your belts and hoses and check for cracks or worn out signs. Finally, make sure that all caps are screwed on tightly after the checks are done..

Following these car care tips will allow you to take the best possible care of your car. It will also save you money in the long run because a well maintained car will bring in more money for you should you decide to sell or trade in your car.

Useful Tips for Exterior Car Care

2010-02-10T14:38:00.000-06:00

Taking good care of your ride is always a great idea. Not only will your car run better if you perform regular maintenance on it, it will also hold a good resale value if you keep it looking it's best.

Let's start with the outside of your car. Your car should be washed and waxed on a regular basis. But what should you use to wash your car? Some people think that any old soap will do to wash your car, but this is not true. If you are using dish soap to wash your car then you are removing all wax from your car. Dish soap is made to remove animal fat from dishes, so it will be really good at taking off that fresh coat of wax that you applied last week. Your best choice for total car care would be to choose a quality car wash. These washes are more of a detergent than a soap and will do less damage to your wax job.

Minimizing any scratches is always a great practice towards making your car looks great. Any dirt that comes in between the cleaning material and the car surface will cause the surface to be scratched and therefore dulling the paint on your car. So, when you are cleaning your car don't forget to take note of any chips or scratches in the paint. These should be repaired immediately to avoid rust. Minor dings and dents should be noted also. You can opt to repair these yourself or take your car to a body shop for the repair.

Remember to include tire care in your total car care procedure. Check the tire pressure and the tread for wear and tear. Having the correct pressures for your tires not only will prolong the useful lives of your tires, you will experience a smoother drive and better fuel efficiencies. Check all of your valve stem caps to make sure they are tight, as they are the final seal after the tire valve stem and could help to hold up the tire pressure should the tire valve stem fails. Apply a quality rubber protectant to your tires to prevent damage from UV rays. This will keep the rubber of your tires from drying and cracking.
