More recently, auto shop mechanics have been bombarded with questions on the failings of electronic components. That says something about the technological progress of the automobile.

Vehicles are increasingly behaving like computers with wheels, so it's time for a discussion of a little-known aspect of your car: its computer network. In the past we would have called it the electrical system, but its mission has evolved way beyond simply moving dumb electrons. Collectively, these electronics are known as the Controller Area Network, or CAN, but, to be specific, the system of wires and software protocols acting as the connective tissue between a vehicle's computers and sensors is known as CANbus.

Tire maintenance isn’t the most fun aspect of owning a car, but it doesn’t have to be a huge pain either. Neglecting your tires can not only cost you money because of accelerated wear, but it can also lead to unsafe driving conditions. Follow the tips below to ensure your safety and the safety of other drivers that share the road with you.

It’s important to inspect your tires at least every couple of days – if not every time you get into the car – especially if you do a lot of highway driving. You don’t always immediately notice when one of your tires gets damaged. Inspecting your tires regularly for wear or damage could mean avoiding potentially dangerous problems.

The battery supplies electric energy which powers the ignition system, the starter motor, and the lights of an automotive. If you need to jump-start your vehicle in the morning, your battery could be failing. When a battery starts deteriorating, it can either be replaced or repaired - this will depend on the severity of the damage. We provide a convenient battery testing and replacement service to get you back on the road. Battery replacement, charging, installation, testing, and recycling - we handle it all.

When you turn on your air conditioning, you expect one thing: cold air. If your vents aren’t blowing cold air, this most likely indicates a refrigerant leak. A vehicle’s air conditioning system uses refrigerant to cool the car. As refrigerant levels drop because of a leak, it prevents other components in your air conditioner from functioning correctly. Unfortunately, the most common way drivers notice a leak is a lack of cold air in your cabin. Unlike an oil leak that can leave a spot, refrigerant evaporates when exposed to the environment.

We carry a complete line of rebuilt and new starters, alternators, generators and DC motors for automotive, truck, industrial, agricultural, marine and power sport equipment or any other application.

As part of a complete preventative maintenance plan, oil and filter changes help to reduce the chance of overheating and removes oil that is commonly saturated with debris and contaminants.
