CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEFT PREVENTION It is amazing that we have to even be discussing this, but catalytic converter theft is up over the past couple years. However, it is the real deal and we have had to make catalytic converter repairs on vehicles that have received this abuse. That’s why we investigated the products out on the market and found this solution that we can install for our customers to reduce the chances of this kind of theft happening to them. We found the Cat Strap and the Cat Eye. The Cateye is an intelligent, SMART controller that senses human motion under your vehicle. It activates a 130dB computer-generated multi-pitch siren and then automatically deactivates when they leave. While it draws attention like a traditional alarm, its additional purpose is to turn the confined space beneath your vehicle into a painful echo-chamber by intensifying the ... read more

Your brakes are extremely important. Having good brakes just keeps you out of trouble. You’ll want to carefully maintain your brakes. With disc brakes, brake pads rub on a disc – or rotor – to slow the wheels. The pads are attached to a caliper that squeezes the pads against the rotor. It’s kind of like how squeezing the handbrake on a bicycle pushes the brake pads against the wheel of the bike. Now pads just wear away with use – kind of like a pencil eraser wears out. The good news is that replacing brake pads is a straight-forward repair. If you hear squealing or grinding when you use the brakes, have your service advisor check them out. He’ll have a technician perform a thorough brake inspection to see what needs to be done. He’ll check for signs of brake problems and go over other brake components to see that they’re working properly. He can tell you if it’s time to replace the pads or if there are other issues with your brakes that should be add ... read more

School is back in session and that means more miles on your vehicle. Whether you are driving your kids to school and activities or if you have a teen driving themselves, now is the time to stay on top of these basic maintenance items. MAINTENANCE 101 Oil Change – Back to basics, the oil change is the most common and necessary part of routine maintenance. You should change your standard oil and filter every 3 months or 3,500 miles and you should change your synthetic oil every 6 months or 5,000 miles. Car Battery Check – Don’t get left stranded with a car that won’t start. A car battery has to be replaced every 3-5 years. Get your battery checked to make sure it is holding a charge. Coolant – Good fresh anti-freeze is the best way to keep your radiator happy. And if it has been a while and your fluid is dirty, a radiator flush treatment is always a good idea. Tire Pressure – Fluctuating late summer temperatures can lead to losing p ... read more
