Tire rotation refers to the regular practice of switching the position of each tire on the car.
Wheel balance refers to the proper distribution of weight around a revolving tire and wheel assembly.
Poor wheel balance can have a marked impact on both your car and your safety.
The primary function of your cars suspension and steering systems is to allow the wheels to move
independently of the car, while keeping it "suspended" and stable.
In order to meet Federal Exhaust Emission and Fuel Economy regulations, today's vehicles are equipped
with highly sophisticated electronic engine control systems. These systems do not require periodic
adjustments. The only services required on a scheduled basis are spark plug and filter replacement.
Tune-ups, as we knew them, are no longer necessary.
Your car's engine is the power source for both heating and air conditioning systems. The systems also

The typical oil filter consists of a high-strength steel housing containing various types of filtering media.
An anti-drainback valve prevents oil from running out of the filter when the engine is off. Today's oil filters
have a convenient spin-on design that makes removal and installation easy.
If you will be putting more driving stress than normal on your vehicle, it's important to have your car

When a radial tire has been damaged to the point where the steel cords are exposed to the elements it
is important that the area be repaired as soon as possible so that moisture is not allowed to migrate along
the belt package causing further damage.
The brake system is actually composed of two kinds of systems---Hydraulics and Friction Materials. Here's
what happens within these systems between the time your foot hits the brake pedal and your car stops.
