Tires are crucial to a safe driving experience. Your car has a pressure detector that lets you know when you have low tire pressure. When the warning light appears on the dashboard, you should pay attention to it. You can quickly restore air pressure in the wheels and avoid any adverse repercussions of low tire pressure. Knowing what happens when you ignore the low tire pressure warning light will give you a sense of perspective and encourage you to fix the issue immediately. Tire Deterioration Your tires are designed to work optimally at a particular air pressure. At that pressure, the tires can optimally handle the car's weight, including any load it is carrying. When you ignore the low tire pressure warning light, you dramatically increase the wear and tear on your tires. Tires with low tire pressure have to flex more, and generate more heat. The heat causes the tire to break down and expands the air in the tires to cause a blowout, destroying the tire completely. Driving L ... read more

PAINT - To understand how the leaves can hurt your car’s protective coating, you should know that leaves are dirty. They contain sap, pollen, and other contaminants that can mix with rainwater, making it acidic.

Leaves can also hide road markings, bumps, potholes, and other sneaky obstacles. Therefore, please ... read more

Like all other parts of your car, the fuel system requires regular maintenance. Unfortunately, most car owners do not comprehend the need for fuel system cleaning until they notice reduced power, particularly while driving uphill, difficult starts, and slow accelerations. You can avoid these problems, though, if you regularly have your mechanic clean your fuel system. Schedule a fuel system cleaning service once you notice any of the following warning signs: 1. Misfiring Engine If the fuel injectors in your car are dirty or clogged, the engine might misfire. This will make your engine sound like it's sputtering and will make your car shake or lurch. This is because the fuel injectors are not supplying enough air/fuel mixture. 2. Poor Gas Mileage Since the fuel injection system is designed to distribute fuel in exact proportions to optimize engine performance, when it gets blocked, fuel efficiency tends to deteriorate. A clogged fuel injection system might be to blame if you no ... read more
