If you leave your vehicle parked in the direct sunlight or under trees for an extended period, you need a car cover. Covering your car or truck can maintain the resale value and preserve the attractive interior and exterior that you currently enjoy.

Using a car cover has many advantages such as:

• Protecting the exterior paint from the harsh effects of sunlight.
• Leather interiors and plastic interior parts are protected from cracking and warping.
• Car covers can provide a deterrent against theft.
• Protection of dust buildup on exterior and interior moving parts.

Part of protecting the investment you have in your vehicle is taking proper care of its appearance. Today’s vehicles are made with special alloys and other materials that perform and look their best when they are free of dirt and other foreign substances.

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.

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.

 

You may be wondering if using kitty litters is more eco-friendly than road salt. To put it simply; no it is not. Both kitty litter, made of clay, and road salt can be devastating to your landscape.

Salt attacks vegetation by making the soil in which it is planted unsuitable for quality of life. It also erodes away anything it touches.
