First, look for a mechanic specializing in repairs to the make and model of your vehicle. Specialists have a tendency better figure out exactly what’s wrong with a particular model and then prescribe the correct fix. General shops aren't bad per se, but they don't specialize either.

Many people use automatic or manual car washes to keep up their vehicle’s appearance. While car washes do clean most parts of a vehicle, your tires and wheels require special care since they trap and hide undesirable substances and dirt. When cleaning your wheels and tires, applying wheel-safe tire cleaner and scrubbing it with...

Your car battery is an important part of your ignition system. The battery generates and stores a charge measured in voltage that is necessary to initiate the spark process. When starting the vehicle, the battery loses volts. The used voltage is replaced through the action of the alternator which directs current to the battery until the battery reaches a certain value in voltage.

The alternator is not the only way a battery is charged. Long ago inventors learned that positioning positively charged and negatively charged lead poles close to one another in a sulfuric acid bath produces...

The main culprit is usually air in the lines. When this occurs, it requires bleeding the air out, which will then provide the freedom of…

An indicator for determining if you have a failing fuel pump in your vehicle's engine is often found as you’re driving, rather than idling. That is because, as you’re driving at a higher rate of speed, you will be able to identify if the engine “sputters.”

Typically, a strong indication will be that the engine will sputter and then immediately continue its normal range of performance. Most times, that scenario is the indication of a failed fuel pump; however, it could also indicate a clogged fuel filter which will mimic the same type of sputtering.
