In the U.S. alone,
more than 200 million licensed drivers dominate American roads, and
if you're one of them, chances are that the safety and reliability of your
vehicle is of the utmost importance. To ensure that you're always up to date on
the latest answers to common auto repair questions, here's a few key answers to
keep in mind so you can always keep your cool.
Transmission
Fluid
As
the automatic transmission creates higher levels of internal heat, it tends to
destroy the quality of your cars fluid lubrication. Because of this, internal
parts, like the valve body, become varnished, interfering with the
transmission. That's why changing the transmission fluid and filter in your car
every 30,000 miles is a smart idea. For the type of transmission fluid your car
needs, make sure to consult your drivers manual.
Brake Jobs
When
the linings in your brakes start to wear down, or if there's brake problems
such as pulling, grabbing, pedal vibration, soft or low pedal, or if a part of
your brake system fails, chances that you need a brake job are likely. The best
way to determine whether or not your car needs a brake job is having them
inspected by an automotive professional.
Low Battery
The
car battery is an important part of your car's engine. It runs all the electrical
accessories and helps start and restart the engine. Signs of a low battery are
indicated by hard starting problems caused by slow cranking. Recharging your
battery and restoring it back to full power prevents future damage that will
keep it on the road longer and cause less headaches for you.
